At Original Woodcraft, we specialise in designing and building bespoke wooden gates for homes, gardens, and unique spaces. Every gate is handmade to order and crafted to your exact measurements, ensuring a secure and elegant fit.
Unlike standard shop-bought gates that rely on extensions or awkward fittings, our gates are made to measure, ensuring a clean and secure fit for your doorway or staircase, there is also no need to have the 'bottom bar' so we remove the risk of any trip hazard.
Each gate is built using quality timber and traditional joinery techniques, providing a solution that is both strong and visually appealing.
Perfect for:
Doorways
Staircases
Hallways
Open plan living spaces

Pet gates are a simple and effective way to manage where pets can go within your home.
Our bespoke wooden pet gates provide a durable barrier while still maintaining the look and feel of your interior.
They are commonly used to:
Keep dogs out of certain rooms
Create safe areas for puppies
Separate pets from children
Block access to stairs or kitchens
Because every gate is made to order, we can adjust the spindle spacing to suit smaller pets if required.

Stairs are one of the most important places to install a safety gate in any home with young children.
Our stair gates are designed to fit securely at either the top or bottom of the staircase. Each gate is built to your measurements so it fits correctly without relying on bulky extension panels.
This provides a safer and more stable solution for protecting toddlers from accessing stairs unsupervised.

For wide or arched openings, our extra wide gates are a perfect fit. They provide a clean, practical solution without reducing walk-through space with extension panels.
Our extra wide gates are built specifically for these spaces, including:
Open plan room dividers
Wide hallways
Patio doors
Double doorways
Each gate is custom-built to the full width required.

Our freestanding gates stand independently, making them ideal for spaces where wall fixing isn’t possible.
These gates are ideal for:
Patio doors
Large open spaces
Temporary barriers
Areas where wall fixing is not possible
They are built with sturdy support legs, similar to a towel rail, allowing the gate to stand securely while still being easy to move when needed.

We also design gates for caravans, camper vans, and motorhomes, where space is often limited.
These gates are made to fit narrow openings and compact layouts, making them ideal for families travelling with young children or pets.
Each gate is built to the exact dimensions of the space so it works comfortably within the vehicle.

If you have a unique space or unusual requirement, we can design a fully custom solution.
Many customers contact us when they cannot find a suitable gate elsewhere.
Because every piece is built in our workshop, we can create gates for:
Awkward or uneven openings
Tapered doorways
Decorative wooden dividers
Special design requests
If it’s made from wood, there’s a very good chance we can build it.
All gates are handcrafted in Castleford by a fully qualified joiner with over 30 years’ experience. Working from a home workshop allows us to focus on quality, traditional joinery, and attention to detail.
Our goal: to deliver gates that are strong, reliable, and built to last, all while fitting beautifully into your home.
