FAQs

What material is the gate made from?

The gate is constructed from Scandinavian Redwood sourced from European managed forests.

How is the wood protected?

The wood is pressure treated with a general-purpose preserver that protects against decay, mould, and blue-staining fungi.

Can the dimensions vary?

Yes, as the gate is made to order, dimensions are subject to slight variation due to normal wood shrinkage or expansion.

What are the dimensions of the gate?

The specific model has a width of 2400mm, a central height of 1800mm, and side heights of 1500mm. Frame: 70x70mm, Bracing: 70x54mm & 44x44mm, Tongue and groove: 95x14mm.

What is the frame and bracing size?

The frame is 70x70mm, and the bracing consists of 70x54mm and 44x44mm timbers.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and periodic reapplication of a wood preserver or stain (every 1-3 years) is recommended to maintain its condition.

Is this gate suitable for a sloped garden?

While the gate itself has specific dimensions, its shaped top design might be adaptable visually. However, proper installation with posts at the correct height and angle would be crucial for a sloped area.

Troubleshooting

Gate sticking or difficult to close

Check for ground obstructions or ground shift. Ensure hinges are aligned and not loose. Wood may expand slightly in humid conditions; allow time for it to acclimatize or slightly adjust the latch/catch.

Visible mould or mildew growth

Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Ensure the gate is dry and consider reapplying a wood preserver or water-repellent finish.

Slight warping or bowing

Minor warping can occur due to natural wood movement. Ensure the gate is properly supported by hinges and posts. In most cases, this will not affect functionality significantly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation typically requires appropriate gate hardware (hinges, latches) suitable for the frame size (70x70mm). Ensure gate posts are securely set and level. Adjust hinges to allow for smooth operation of the double gates.

Compatibility:

This gate is designed as a standalone unit and is compatible with standard gate posts and ironmongery. It is part of the Burbage Iron Craft range, though it can be integrated into various garden fencing styles.

Care:

To maintain its appearance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood treatment.
  2. Treatment: Periodically inspect the gate for any signs of wear. Reapply a suitable wood preserver or stain every 1-3 years, depending on climate, to maintain protection.
  3. Environment: Ensure good airflow around the gate to prevent moisture build-up. Avoid direct, prolonged contact with damp soil.
