Product Information
Full details
The Evington 5 Bar Gate in Blue is designed for property owners seeking a traditional and sturdy entrance solution for fields or farm tracks. Its primary benefit is the robust construction with mortice and tenon joints, offering durability and classic aesthetics. A key consideration is that the timber may exhibit slight size variations due to natural wood properties, and the included preserver requires periodic re-application for optimal longevity.

FAQs
What is the actual size of the gate?
The gate measures 2400mm in width and 1200mm in height. Please note that timber gate sizes can vary slightly due to natural wood properties like shrinkage or expansion.
Does the gate come with hinges and a latch?
No, the gate is supplied as the timber structure itself. You will need to purchase appropriate hinges and a latch mechanism separately for installation.
How often should I re-treat the gate?
The frequency depends on environmental factors and usage. Generally, re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver or stain is recommended every 1-3 years. Inspect regularly for signs of wear.
What type of wood is used?
The gate is crafted from Scandinavian Redwood, sourced from managed forests.
Can I paint or stain over the blue finish?
Yes, you can apply a suitable exterior wood paint or stain over the existing blue finish after preparing the surface, or after the initial preserver has dried.
What is the purpose of the preserver treatment?
The general-purpose preserver provides initial protection against decay, mould, and blue-staining fungi. It is a preventative measure and requires periodic reapplication for ongoing protection.
Is the gate suitable for very exposed locations?
While robust, the gate's longevity in very exposed locations will depend heavily on diligent maintenance and frequent re-application of protective treatments. Regular inspection is key.
Troubleshooting
Gate is sticking or difficult to open/close.
Check for ground obstruction, warped timber, or misaligned hinges. Adjust hinges or posts as necessary. Ensure the gate is not dragging on the ground.
Visible signs of mold or decay.
Clean affected area with a mild detergent and water. Allow to dry completely. Reapply a suitable wood preserver or stain. Inspect more frequently in the future.
The blue finish is fading.
The finish may require reapplication. Clean the surface and apply a compatible exterior wood stain or paint designed for timber gates.
Gate hardware (hinges/latch) is not functioning correctly.
Check hardware for rust, damage, or misalignment. Lubricate moving parts if necessary. Replace damaged or worn hardware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have appropriate gate posts (wood or metal) securely installed before mounting the gate. The gate typically requires hinges and a latch mechanism, which are not included. Install these according to their specific instructions, ensuring the gate hangs level and swings freely.
Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard openings of 2400mm width. Compatibility with existing posts depends on post thickness and the chosen hardware. It can be hung to swing in either direction.
Care: The gate is treated with a general-purpose preserver, but this is not a permanent solution. For maximum longevity and to maintain the blue finish, periodic re-treatment is essential. Inspect the gate regularly, especially the joints and bottom edges, for signs of wear or potential decay. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Apply a suitable wood preserver or exterior wood stain every 1-3 years, depending on exposure to weather. Ensure the gate is re-treated, especially after periods of heavy rain or prolonged dry spells.
