FAQs

What is the best way to maintain the gate's appearance?

After waiting 6-8 weeks post-installation, you can apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint to maintain or change the colour. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will also help.

Can I paint or varnish the gate immediately after installation?

No, we recommend waiting 6-8 weeks after installation to allow the timber's pressure treatment to dry properly before applying any additional finishes like paint or varnish.

What does 'fully pressure treated (Tanalised)' mean?

It means the timber has been treated under pressure with Tanalith E solution, forcing the preservative deep into the wood. This provides long-lasting protection against rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending the gate's lifespan and making it weather-resistant.

How do I prepare the gate for painting?

Once the 6-8 week waiting period is complete, ensure the timber is clean and dry. Lightly sand the surface if necessary, then apply a suitable exterior wood primer followed by your chosen paint or stain.

Will the gate's dimensions change over time?

Yes, like all natural timber, this gate will expand and contract in response to changes in humidity and temperature. Some dimensional variation should be expected.

Can this gate be used for a different width than 90cm?

This product is sold at a fixed width of 90cm. Altering the width may compromise its structural integrity and void any warranty. It is designed to be used as-is or paired with compatible fence panels.

Where are these gates manufactured?

These gates are handcrafted by skilled gate makers in Premier Garden Supplies' Shropshire factory in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Gate is sticking or difficult to close.

Check if the gate posts are plumb and secure. Minor warping can occur with timber; ensure hinges are correctly aligned and not binding. If recently installed, wait for the timber to acclimatize.

Visible green flecks on the timber.

This is a normal characteristic of Tanalith E pressure treatment. These flecks are harmless and will fade over time as the timber weathers.

Gate appears warped or uneven.

Timber naturally expands and contracts with environmental conditions. Ensure the gate was installed level and with adequate clearance. Over time, it may settle. If severe, consult installation guidelines or a professional.

Treatment seems to be washing off.

The initial treatment is designed to penetrate the wood. Some superficial residue might appear in very wet conditions but should not indicate a loss of protection. Ensure the gate is not saturated for prolonged periods immediately after installation before any additional treatments are applied.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

When installing your Ultimate Tongue & Groove gate, ensure you have appropriate gate hardware (hinges, latch, posts) suitable for the gate's weight and dimensions (Height 150 cm x Width 90 cm x Depth 3.2 cm). It is recommended to install on sturdy posts that are securely set in the ground. Ensure the gate swings freely without obstruction.

Compatibility:

This gate is specifically designed to pair seamlessly with Premier Garden Supplies' Ultimate Tongue & Groove fence panels, allowing for a cohesive and uniform garden boundary. It is suitable for standard outdoor pathway and garden access points.

Care:

All timber is fully pressure treated (Tanalised) for protection. For optimal results and to allow the treatment to fully dry, it is recommended to wait 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any paint, stain, or additional wood treatments. Natural timber will naturally expand and contract with changes in humidity and temperature. Minor dimensional variations are expected. Periodically clean the gate with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
