Yup the wind has taken it's toll on my gates! Sooo happy to wake up every morning and see the fences standing.... until I go to the front and saw the gates blown apart! Have 2 non-standard sized wooden gates (smaller than normal) covering drive way to back of the house. Any reccomendations greatly received thanks!

Location is kind of important in this stuff, are you in the Southampton mentioned in your profile?

I had a custom gate made by a company in Verwood. Excellent service. Froud's is the name of the company.

We lost our wooden gates on Friday night too, wind ripped them and the fixings clean out of the brickwork and dumped them on the bonnet of the Wife's car!

Yeah last Friday's wind was heavy! Sorry to hear these stories, I now have a wonky fence but no real damage to anything else. I used New Forest Fencing in Nursling to get a stake to prop up my fence as a temp job. Good bunch of guys in there and very reasonable prices - they do all sorts of gates as well - http://www.newforestfencing.co.uk/supply-only/serv...

I would say NOT Gate Expectations. They led me a merry dance when i wanted one.
