Premium Driveway & Garden Gates
in Cardiff & South Wales
Secure, Custom-Built Entrances Engineered for Style and Durability
A great gate does more than secure your property - it creates a lasting first impression. It controls access, keeps kids and pets safe, and instantly boosts your home’s curb appeal. From grand automated driveway entrances to secure timber side gates, we design systems that blend seamless security with style.
South Wales weather can be brutal on moving outdoor structures. Heavy winds and rain demand flawless alignment, heavy-duty ironmongery, and deeply anchored posts to prevent sagging. RGB Construction builds every gate for total structural integrity, using premium materials engineered to withstand the elements.
Investing in a quality gate installation means daily convenience and long-term peace of mind. Whether you prefer traditional timber or sleek, modern finishes, our Cardiff-based team delivers a flawless, durable setup that adds real security and value to your home.
Gate Styles & Material Options
The architectural design and materials you select for your new entrance will completely define your property’s security, privacy, and curb appeal. When choosing the perfect style or custom material combination, it is essential to balance functional factors like wind exposure, daily frequency of use, and automation potential with your personal taste and maintenance preferences.
There is an extensive range of high-quality gate designs - ranging from classic rural timber to sleek modern security entryways. Below are some popular style examples of side, driveway, and property entrance gates we regularly supply and install across Cardiff and the surrounding areas.
Framed Closeboard & Featheredge
A robust, timeless British classic built with overlapping vertical timber slats encased in a heavy-duty framework. It offers total privacy and matches seamlessly with standard UK featheredge fencing lines.
Tongue & Groove (T&G) Flat Top
Features interlocking vertical timber boards fitted tightly within a premium planed frame. This creates a completely flat, smooth face that looks highly modern, feels exceptionally strong, and blocks all visibility.
Arched or Bow Top Timber
Offers the same complete privacy and heavy-duty structural build as a flat-top tongue-and-groove gate, but adds an elegant curved top profile to soften your boundary line and add an upscale design detail.
Classic Five-Bar & Field Gates
The ultimate traditional choice for rural or suburban driveways. Crafted with a recognisable open horizontal timber design and diagonal bracing, they offer excellent wind resistance and a welcoming, country-cottage aesthetic.
Swan Neck Estate Gates
A dramatic, premium double-gate style where the top rails elegantly curve upward toward the outer hinges. They provide high-impact visual appeal for large driveways and look spectacular when automated.
Modern Composite Infill Gates
Built using low-maintenance composite boards nestled inside a sleek, weather-resistant frame. They provide the warm look of natural wood but will never warp, rot, or require painting in our damp South Wales climate.
Ornamental Garden Scroll Gates
Lightweight yet incredibly tough waist-high iron gates featuring decorative scrollwork and classic detailing. Perfect for front paths, dividing garden walls, or framing a traditional cottage front garden.
Tall Spear-Top Security Gates
Heavy-duty, full-height steel bar gates finished with decorative spear, finial, or ball tops. They act as a highly visible, imposing physical deterrent for side alleys or main driveways without blocking natural light.
Contemporary Flat-Bar Metal Gates
Stripped of ornate historic detailing, these minimalist steel gates feature clean, straight vertical bars and geometric lines to perfectly complement modern self-builds and urban properties.
