Common questions Stainesai
The price is influenced by the size of the structure, choice of materials, and site access conditions.
Typically, it takes 2-4 days, including time for setting posts and finishing the timber.
Usually, the carpenter/joiner supplies the materials, but you can discuss specific preferences with them.
While there are no specific regulations solely for wooden gates and pergolas, planning permission and building regulations may apply depending on factors like height and location. For example, planning permission is required for garden walls over 2m in height or over 1m adjacent to a highway. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
