Which wud be the dearest which wud be the cheapest.

I have had heard allot of bad stories about wooden gates in terms of maintenance. So any info on UPVC gate would be welcome.

Wouldnt put a second thought to it.

UPVC would be cheaper I'd say, But by no means the same quality!

Cant beat box iron for strength and quality, and definitely galvanize it.
