Strong Protection During Flooding

Easy to Operate In Non-Flood Conditions

Durable Design For Long Term Defence

Strong, Versatile, and Easy to Operate

Flood gates are a practical way to protect driveways, entrances and other access points that may be exposed during a flood. When closed, they create a strong barrier that helps stop water from reaching your home or business. They are designed to be easy to use and durable, providing dependable flood protection while still allowing normal access to your property in everyday conditions.

Timber Flood Gates

Our timber flood gates are a suitable addition to any driveway or entrances to properties where easy access is accessible. In the event of an imminent flood, the gate can be closed swiftly and securely.

Reliable Flood Protection

Timber flood gates are designed to help stop water entering driveways and property entrances during a flood. They can be quickly closed and secured when flooding is expected, helping protect buildings and outdoor areas from water damage.

Easy to Use Every Day

Timber flood gates work similar to a normal gate in everyday use and can be easily opened or closed by one person. This makes them a practical solution that provides flood protection without affecting daily access to your property.

Our flood and storm tide gates are built from high-strength steel with protective finishes. They are designed to withstand harsh environments such as areas near rivers or the coast.
