Garden gates

Hi folks
can anyone tell me a good place to buy a pair of big double gates? Tall wooden ones that go across the driveway to secure your back garden. B and Q don't seem to sell them and the only ones I've seen on the net seem to cost thousands and thousands of pounds.
I've got a five year plan to build a garage so I don't want to spend too much money but the ones we have are half hanging off and look really bad.
I'm wondering if you can get 'used' ones from reclamation / house clearance type places??
I live in manchester but have access to a car.
many thanks

Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

My dad just made me a 4.5foot wide, 5.5ft high gate for the back garden. This was done out of 4inch tongue and groove floor boarding that we have hung and stained. He cut each panel, glued the grooves and then fitted them together. They were then strengthened by three horizontal and two diagonal spars on one side and we stained the gate to protect it when done.
Do you know anyone that is handy with a saw and screws/nails that would be able to help you with a project of this type? Mine cost a total of 30 quid to make and only took one evening and dad isn't even a joiner..............."Life may not always be the party you wish for, but whilst here you may aswell dance"!!!

How close to the road will the gates be? You might need planning permission :eek:Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac
