At Gatemen, we specialise in combining high-quality craftsmanship with advanced automation to deliver electric gate systems that are both stylish and practical. Our latest project featured the installation of a brand-new set of metal gate posts, beautiful Iroko hardwood swing gates, and a Roger Technology underground gate automation system.
Strong Foundations: New Metal Gate Posts
Every great gate installation starts with strong foundations. For this project, we installed heavy-duty galvanised steel posts to provide maximum stability and long-term durability. By setting the posts in reinforced concrete, we ensured the gates will remain perfectly aligned for years to come, even under daily use.
Elegance in Wood: Iroko Hardwood Gates
The centrepiece of this installation is a stunning pair of Iroko hardwood gates.
Why Iroko?
Durability – Known as “African Teak,” Iroko is naturally resistant to decay and weathering.
Low Maintenance – Requires minimal upkeep compared to softer woods.
Timeless Appearance – With its rich golden-brown tones, Iroko ages beautifully, developing a silver-grey patina over time if left untreated.
Strength – Perfect for automated gates due to its stability and toughness.
The handcrafted finish of these gates ensures they not only provide security but also enhance the property’s kerb appeal.
Advanced Automation: Roger Technology Underground Motors
To complete the installation, we fitted a Roger Technology underground gate automation system. This premium system offers:
Discreet Design – The motors are hidden below ground, preserving the clean look of the gates.
Brushless Motor Technology – Ensures smooth, quiet, and energy-efficient operation.
Long Service Life – Reduced wear-and-tear compared to traditional motors.
Full Safety Compliance – Advanced safety features meet UK and EU regulations.
Reliable Performance – Perfect for heavy hardwood gates, with precise and consistent movement.
This system combines reliability with subtlety, letting the natural beauty of the hardwood gates take centre stage.
The Result
The finished installation blends strength, elegance, and modern automation:
Strong metal posts for long-lasting stability.
Stylish Iroko hardwood gates for natural beauty and security.
Advanced Roger Technology underground motors for seamless operation.
The result is a truly bespoke entrance solution that offers both sophistication and peace of mind.
