New England cedar driveway gates. All the cedar driveway gates come with a heavy duty welded steel frame, fully concealed except for the barrel hinges. The cedar used on the gates is clear old growth western red cedar (no-knots). They are natural (no finish) and kiln dried. Cedar is one of the best woods for outdoor use and can be used "as delivered" outdoors. After some weathering cedar turns a light grey color. You could also preserve the natural color by reapplying a UV wood sealer regularly. Many others also choose to go with a traditional North Eastern look by painting the gate white.

     The wood is attached to the internal steel frame using PL premium waterproof construction adhesive. The internal frame has all welded joints, 11 gauge steel, and a 1"x 2" frame. This gate is made of the highest quality steel, welding and wood by two companies that specialize in each. One of which is a company specializing in steel gate construction and the other traditional outdoor furniture and yard decoration company; both located in New England .

All gate purchased come with ball bearing hinges

     The approximate thickness of each gate is 4". The dimensions for the gates in the title are for the actual structures. Most people leave at least 1¡± of clearance between the gates and the hinges are adjustable but typically leave about 2-4" between the outside edges of the gates and the inside faces of the posts the gates are attaching to. Please allow 4-6 weeks for production.
