This Premier Garden Supplies gate is designed for homeowners seeking enhanced privacy and a traditional aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in the robust, fully framed tongue and groove construction, offering both strength and effective noise reduction. A minor caveat is that the wood is pressure-treated and may initially show green flecks which fade over time, and requires a drying period before painting.

The interlocking tongue and groove boards create a solid, flat surface that enhances privacy by blocking sightlines and helps reduce noise transmission compared to slatted gates.
The Tanalith E pressure treatment is designed to provide long-term protection against rot and insect attack, significantly extending the lifespan of the timber. However, regular maintenance and appropriate finishing will maximize its durability.
No, it is recommended to wait 6-8 weeks after installation for the pressure treatment to dry completely before applying any paint or stain. This allows the treatment to fully penetrate the wood and prevents issues with adhesion or finish.
This specific gate is 180cm (approximately 6 feet) high and 75cm (approximately 2.5 feet) wide.
For gates 5ft (152cm) and above, the diagonal brace is replaced with a central horizontal brace and an additional diagonal brace above and below the central one, providing enhanced structural support for wider spans.
Yes, like all natural timber, this gate will expand and contract in response to changes in temperature and humidity. This is a normal characteristic of wood and should be accounted for during installation.
Hardware is typically sold separately. You can find compatible hinges and latches at most garden centers or hardware stores. Ensure the hardware is rated for the size and weight of the gate.
Check for obstructions, ensure hinges are properly lubricated, and verify that the gate posts are plumb and stable. Minor adjustments to hinge placement may be needed.
This is a normal sign of the Tanalith E pressure treatment. The flecks will fade naturally over time as the wood weathers. This does not affect the gate's structural integrity.
Timber naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature. Ensure adequate clearance around the gate during installation. This is a normal characteristic of wood and does not typically impact function long-term if installed correctly.
Ensure the gate posts are robust and firmly set. Check the diagonal brace for tightness and ensure all frame joints are secure. For gates 5ft and above, check the central and diagonal bracing system.
Setup: Ensure gate posts are securely installed and correctly spaced to accommodate the gate's width (75cm). Hardware for hanging the gate (hinges, latch) is typically sold separately and should be chosen based on the gate's weight and your post type. Allow for a small gap between the gate and posts for proper operation.
Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard garden openings. It can be hung from timber or metal posts, provided they are strong enough to support its weight. Compatibility with specific latch and hinge systems should be confirmed with the hardware manufacturer.
Care: The timber is pressure-treated for protection. Avoid painting or staining for at least 6-8 weeks to allow the treatment to fully dry and cure. After this period, you can apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint to maintain its appearance. Regularly check fixings and hardware for tightness. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals. Wood will naturally weather and may show slight dimensional changes; this is normal.
