Burwell is a large fenland village with a distinctive mix of flint cottages, Victorian terraces along North Street, and modern housing estates, and it's a village where a well-fitted gate does real practical work given the open, windswept landscape.
The wind exposure in Burwell is something we factor in from the outset - posts are concreted to a greater depth than you might specify in a sheltered urban garden, and gate frames are braced to resist flex in strong crosswinds. Pressure-treated softwood gates or galvanised metal gates are both good choices here because of their resistance to the damp conditions that come with fen-edge weather.
Many of the older properties in the village centre have narrow access passages to rear gardens, and a single gate hung on masonry posts is often the most straightforward solution. We can match the style and colour to whatever fencing is already on the plot. Call us for a free gate installation survey at your Burwell property.
