The Elegance of Chestnut for Your Outdoor Spaces
Enhance your exterior with our chestnut-wood gates, crafted from trees harvested within approximately 15 km of our factory in Charente.
Striking a perfect balance of natural elegance and strength, each gate is carefully crafted from locally sourced wood renowned for durability and innate beauty.
Chestnut — a noble, warm timber — gives our gates an authentic, inviting appearance while blending harmoniously with gardens, courtyards or properties.
Our gates are crafted using traditional workmanship, paying special attention to the quality of joints and finishes.
They pair perfectly with our wattle fences for a consistent, natural and elegant fence line.

Why Choose a Chestnut Gate?
Natural Durability
Chestnut is a highly durable wood, naturally resistant to rot, insects and fungi.
Rich in tannins, it is naturally rot-resistant, requiring no chemical treatment.
Excellent Outdoor Performance
It performs perfectly in humid or changeable climates — ideal where your gate is exposed to rain, sun or wind.
Aesthetic Appeal
Chestnut has a beautiful grain and a light tone that weathers gracefully to a silvery grey when left untreated.
It’s rustic yet refined look suits both traditional and modern homes.
Dimensional Stability
Chestnut is less prone to warping or twisting than many other woods, making it an ideal choice for gates that are opened and closed frequently.
Ease of Workmanship
It is easy to cut, drill, and assemble, which is handy if you wish to customize or repair it later.
Installing the Gate
Our wooden gates integrate easily with a variety of fence types. They are fully compatible with our wattle fences — same timber species, harmonised style and adjustable spacing.
o install a gate you’ll need two posts of diameter 10–12 cm or 12–14 cm
All hardware is supplied, and it is pre-installed on Type A gates, which can also be designed as double-leaf openings.
