The Full Story
That’s been our promise since day one.The Side Gate Man began as a straightforward Dublin business with a simple goal: to replace old, rotting, or broken side gates and shed doors with strong, properly built timber ones that actually last. Based in Santry, we’ve spent years quietly earning a reputation across North and South Dublin (and the surrounding counties) for honest pricing, clean workmanship, and gates that do the job they’re supposed to do — keep your property secure and looking well.Every gate and door we make is pressure-treated timber, glued, nailed, and screw-fixed for strength. We include new framing, doorstops, galvanised hinges and pad bolts as standard, and we supply and fit everything ourselves. No middlemen. No corners cut.Over time, something natural started happening. Customers who trusted us with their side gates began asking for more. “While you’re here… could you look at the side passage?” “Any chance you could build a proper deck?” “Would a lean-to work over this entrance?”We listened.What started as side gates has grown into a full outdoor carpentry service. Today, The Side Gate Man designs and builds:Custom side gates & shed doors – still our foundation and still made the right wayDecking – raised or ground-level, built to last through Irish weatherPergolas – shaded outdoor rooms for entertaining or simply enjoying the gardenLean-tos & side-passage covers – practical, weatherproof solutions that protect and improve the flow of your homeFully bespoke outdoor structures – from illuminated raised beds to complete garden makeoversWhether it’s a single replacement gate or a full outdoor transformation, we bring the same approach: solid materials, careful craftsmanship, and no shortcuts.We’re still the same team of professional carpenters.
