How we build metal gates in Enfield
Galvanised steel or wrought-iron-style frames with hardwood or composite infill. Standard build: 50×50mm SHS frame, 40×40mm infill or hardwood slats, hot-dip galv + RAL powder-coat. On Enfield jobs we adjust for high winds funnelled down the lea valley regularly knock over weaker panel fences.
Property mix locally: interwar semis, 1960s estates and pockets of Georgian housing around Forty Hill. Typical gardens: medium-depth gardens that often back onto alleyways — access is the deciding factor. Postcodes we regularly service: EN1, EN2, EN3.
