Garden gates?

    Does anyone know a good place that sells and installs garden gates in South Dublin? I am looking for something ideally as low-maintenance as possible, but I don't know if there is such a thing. Anyway, the amount of places that do doors and gates in Dublin has me overwhelmed - anyone have recommendations?

    tell us a bit about what u have in mind: metal, timber or what.

    one gate or 2, how wide/high etc.
    electric or manual etc

    front or back, ie does it have to look A1

    IMO, the lowest maintenance is galvanised steel gates.
    You leave the galvo weather for a while and then give a few coats of paint: job done for life.

    Next up is teak or oroco, with sadolins: NOT varnish.

    It's for a relatively small gate (about 5.5 feet high and 3-3.5 feet wide...more or less) - one only - for a side-entrace to the back garden.(I live in a semi-detached house) I don't need it to be the fanciest, most impressive thing in the world, just need to replace the original gate, which is a traditional painted wooden gate that is literally disintigrating from age. I just wanted something that won't need a lot of looking after because I know myself too well when it comes to that sort of thing. I have good intentions, but....am very lazy.;)
