Why Rayleigh Electric Gates
Most metal gate failures start with rust — cheap powder coating alone lets moisture penetrate welds, causing structural failure within five years.
Powder coating without galvanising traps moisture at welds, causing rust to spread from inside out within three winters.
Exposed hilltop locations around Hadleigh Castle require reinforced frames or motors burn out fighting wind resistance.
Chalk hills provide stable foundations but uneven driveways need precise levelling or gates bind and motors fail.
Zinc layer bonds to steel at molecular level, sealing welds and joints against moisture penetration for 20+ years.
Box-section steel frames with diagonal bracing resist gusty winds without motor strain or hinge fatigue.
