Driveway Gates

Wooden gates add warmth and welcome

The beauty of clear western red cedar softens the often imposing look of massive driveway gates.  Designed and built by Dieuwertje von Aesch of Victoria Wood Studio they look like works of art but function smoothly.

Wooden gates are not without their challenges. Victoria Wood Studio has addressed these challenges in its build and installation.  The gates are built using traditional joinery and are pegged with oak dowels for added stability.  They come finished with an environmental finish from Germany called Naturhaus to protect them from the elements.

Installation is a key part of the smooth functioning of these gates.  We use a variety of approaches depending on the site.  We have worked with challenging terrain such as rock and sandstone. We have installed automatic opening systems and attached pedestrian gates to driveway gates.  We are happy to install locally or out of town. Our last two installations were on the Gulf Islands.


From the initial design visit to the hand rubbed finish the hand of the maker is evident in your Entryway.  Their appealing designs, each one unique, will provide conversation pieces for those entering or even walking by. Not only that they will function smoothly providing convenience and a sense of protection.
