Fencing & Gates
Garden Gate Installation in Oxfordshire
We make and hang domestic garden and side gates for homeowners who need secure, reliable access through a boundary. Each gate is measured to the opening, hung on properly set posts with galvanised ironmongery, and matched to your fencing where possible. Creative Scapes is based in Bicester and works across Oxfordshire.
Why our gates last
Made and hung properly
Made and hung properly
Gates are built to suit the opening and hung on properly set posts with galvanised hinges and latches — so they swing freely and stay aligned.
Secure ironmongery
We use galvanised hinges, latches and locks chosen for outdoor use, with options to suit the gate and your security needs.
Matched to your fencing
Gate style, timber and height can be matched to an existing or new fence run so the gate sits cleanly in the boundary.
Clear written quote
You see the gate, posts, ironmongery, labour and waste removal before any work starts.
Options
Gates we make and hang
We'll talk through the right gate type, size and security for the opening during the free site visit.
Side gates
Pedestrian gates for side access — typically timber, matched to the fence, with a latch or bolt.
Driveway gates
Wider gates for vehicle access — timber or framed, hung on substantial posts with suitable ironmongery.
Field gates
Practical gates for field and boundary access — sturdy timber construction with simple, reliable ironmongery.
Locking and access options
Latches, bolts, padlocks and lockable latches — we'll talk through the right level of security for the gate's location.
Measuring and fitting
Getting the gate right for the opening
A gate only works well if the opening, posts and ironmongery are right. At the free site visit we:
- Measure the opening and confirm the clearance the gate needs to swing freely.
- Check whether existing posts are sound and suitably positioned, or whether new posts are needed.
- Agree hinges, latches and locks suited to the gate's location and your security needs.
- Match the gate style, timber and height to your fencing where a like-for-like match is available.

- Whether new posts are needed or existing posts can be reused.
- The hinges, latches, locks and ironmongery specified.
- Ground conditions, access and any existing gate to remove.
- Removal and disposal of the old gate and posts.

How to choose
Is a fitted gate the right choice for your garden?
Fit a ready-made gate
You can buy an off-the-shelf gate and hang it yourself if the opening is a standard size.
Check the clearance, which way it opens and how it locks from either side before you buy.
Hire a fitter
A fitter can supply and hang a gate to suit your opening and existing posts.
Ask whether hinges, latch and any catch are included and suited to the gate's weight.

FAQs
Questions about gate installation
- How do you measure up for a gate?
- We measure the opening, check the posts and confirm the clearance the gate needs to swing freely. The gate is then made or ordered to suit that opening rather than a standard size, so it fits cleanly.
- Can you match a gate to my existing fence?
- Often, yes. We'll match gate style, timber and height to your fence where a like-for-like match is available. Where a match isn't possible, we'll talk through the options with you.
- Do you supply the posts as well?
- Yes — gate posts are included where new posts are needed. If existing posts are sound and suitably positioned, we may be able to hang the gate from them.
- Do you automate gates?
- No — we don't install gate automation. We make and hang manual gates. If you want automation, we can talk through the gate specification so it's suitable for a separate automation installer.
