Plan a manual gate around clear width, movement space, approach and everyday use.

Describe who uses the opening and what must pass through it. Show the approach from both directions, the ground levels and the space beside or behind the gate. Preliminary measurements support a conversation; final dimensions need site confirmation.
From a brief to a fabricated opening.
Custom metalwork begins with the real dimensions, movement and interfaces. Powered operation needs its own specialist controls and safety assessment.
