Hardwood Henfield Curved or Swish Top Entrance Gates

The Henfield Curved and Swish Top are traditional entrance gates with a sturdy frame and thick tongue-and-groove boarding. Our Henfield entrance gate is crafted by skilled gatemakers using responsibly harvested Iroko timber from West Africa. Iroko is a highly durable wood that resists rot and insect attack. Featuring 70mm thick vertical stiles, a 40mm thick frame, and topped with 19mm thick tongue-and-groove boards, these gates are both stylish and robust. All Henfield entrance gates include a flush heavy bottom rail suitable for automation.

Henfield curved or swish top entrance gates are priced per pair. Each pair is individually priced, and there are no standard sizes. Please see the Made to Measure Sizes section below.

All Henfield Gates are custom-made and bespoke; therefore, we cannot offer refunds or exchanges.

How to Use

Henfield gates made from Iroko must be stored and cared for properly before hanging. For more detailed instructions, please read the recommendations on our “Crestala Gate Care Information” sheet.

If the gates are not to be fitted immediately, they must be kept out of direct sunlight, stored flat or stood up against a wall with both stiles touching the wall evenly.

Fittings

We have a comprehensive range of gate fittings available to complement your gates.

Whether you prefer to complement your gates with treated softwood posts or hardwood posts, our team can advise you on suitability.
Recommended Aftercare

Hardwood Iroko can be left untreated. It will eventually change to a silver-grey colour.
If you wish to preserve the timber's more natural colour and help keep your gate in good condition, treat it twice a year with good quality UV wood oil. Other wood oils, such as Teak oil, can also help. Use a lint-free cloth or natural bristle brush to apply the oil evenly all over the gate, following the grain. Carefully treat all surfaces with your chosen oil, particularly the bottom, all end grain, and any holes, etc., for gate hardware.

Cheap fence and shed treatments are NOT suitable for treating Henfield gates.

The gates should be checked at least twice annually and reoiled if necessary. Put a drop of water on the gate surface. If it beads into a droplet, then the gate is fine. If the water soaks in or spreads out, then the gate requires oiling.

All wooden gates are susceptible to natural movement or shaking (cracks in the timber) as the wood expands and contracts during the normal weathering process. This is not considered a defect unless very severe.
