I got a couple of offers from procompare site when I needed a new wooden gate. I decided on a provider which was available to start working immediately. I can only say good things about Mr. Robin. I am very satisfied. The gates as well as the fence they made look very nice.

I would like to thank procompare. It made my choice of provider of a wooden gate so much easier. I saved a ton of time. The provider I chose gave me great advice about the right type of wood to be the most durable for the weather conditions we have in our area. Since this type of wood could also be colored, I got the exact style and looks of the driveway wooden gate I wanted to. The price was also reasonable, much cheaper than the providers I managed to find on my own. Procompare, I give you 5 stars.

Before deciding on a gate, you should think about the style of your home exterior, about the type of the door that will suit you best (sliding or swing gates), about the property size (so you can choose the right size), about maintenance you are willing to do and, lastly, about your budget.
The driveway gate should be a little wider than your driveway entrance. Use a tape measure, and measure your driveway. Use a smaller single gate for a straight driveway. Use a wider double gate if you have curves on your driveway.
It is usual for gates to open inwards. In some cases, it is even illegal for gates to open outwards, into public property.
When choosing a material for your home gates, take into consideration appearance, difficulty of maintenance, security and of course price of the gates. Wooden gates are beautiful, but more difficult to maintain than say steel or metal gates. For mainly security reasons, choose palisade gates.
Make sure your gates are clean of dirt and possible mold. Most gates are given a layer of protection but it can erode in time due to weather and UV rays, so will need to be replenished at regular intervals. We recommend you repaint your gates every few years and apply protective oil.

I need custom pedestrian gates made to replace wooden gates which are failing due to age. The main house is wood based so 2 gates need to be made with a post cemented on that side to ensure privacy. So sheet non rust metal outside cover is likely the best means. Also I need gates painted black. I also need one gate at the front of the house that has entrances. I want a padlock on each gate to secure the property when no tenants are occupying the property.
Good Morning, Please advise if you can supply and fit a slatted wooden gate, finished in either dark brown or black, at Unit 1 San Marco, which is a complex within The Gardens gated estate in La Lucia.
