Product Information

Full details

The Hampton Low Single Garden Gate in Black is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of security and aesthetic appeal for their garden entrances. Its primary benefit is the robust construction combining durable Scandinavian Redwood with a steel infill panel, offering both strength and a striking visual element. A key consideration is that the timber requires a final finishing treatment for optimal longevity, and the steel infill bars need painting.

FAQs

What type of wood is the gate made from?

The gate is crafted from European-managed Scandinavian Redwood, known for its durability.

Does the gate come pre-finished?

The timber is pressure-treated with a general-purpose preserver, but a final exterior wood finish (stain or paint) is recommended. The steel infill bars are primed black and require painting.

Can I get a gate in a custom size?

Yes, a made-to-measure service is available for custom gate sizes.

How long will it take to receive a made-to-order gate?

Made-to-order gates can take up to 28 working days to produce.

What are the dimensions of the main frame and bracing?

The gate features a robust frame of 70x70mm and bracing of 70x54mm & 44x44mm.

What are the dimensions of the tongue and groove boards?

The tongue and groove boards measure 95x14mm.

Are there any optional accessories available?

Yes, optional ball top finials can be added for aesthetic customization.

What is the diameter of the steel infill bars?

The steel infill bars are 16mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to open or close

Check that hinges are correctly aligned and not binding. Ensure the gate is not sagging; adjust hinges or add support if necessary. Verify that no obstructions are present in the gate's swing path.

Timber shows signs of rot or fungal growth

This may indicate insufficient or overdue finishing treatments. Ensure the gate has been properly sealed with a quality exterior wood preserver and reapplications are made regularly. Address any persistent dampness around the gate's base.

Steel infill bars are rusting

The protective primer has likely worn off or was not adequately covered. Clean the rusted areas thoroughly, apply a metal primer, and then finish with a suitable metal paint. Regular maintenance painting is required.

Gate doesn't latch securely

Adjust the position of the latch and the strike plate on the post. Ensure the gate is hanging straight and not warped. Check that the latch mechanism itself is functioning correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust and durable construction for longevity.
  • Combines natural wood with modern steel for an appealing look.
  • Pressure treatment offers initial protection against rot and fungi.
  • Customization options available (finials, made-to-measure).
  • Provides enhanced garden security.

Cons

  • Requires a final finish application on timber for maximum protection.
  • Steel infill bars need painting for a complete and durable finish.
  • Timber size may have slight variations due to natural wood properties.
  • Made-to-order items can have a significant lead time (up to 28 working days).
  • Limited stock often means made-to-order is necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Opening: Ensure the gate opening is correctly measured and prepared for installation. The gate should be hung to swing freely.
  2. Hinge and Latch Installation: Attach appropriate gate hardware (hinges and latch) securely to the gate and supporting posts. Ensure these are robust enough for the gate's weight.
  3. Final Finishing: Apply a high-quality exterior wood finish (stain or paint) to all timber surfaces. Treat the primed steel infill bars with a suitable metal paint for full protection.

Compatibility:

  • The gate is designed to be installed between two sturdy posts (not included).
  • Hinges and latches should be compatible with timber gates and the chosen post material.
  • Consider the optional ball top finials for added aesthetic customization.
  • Made-to-measure service is available for non-standard openings.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the gate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fittings.
  • Reapply wood finish and paint as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure, to maintain protection and appearance.
  • Keep the area around the gate clear of debris that could impede its movement or trap moisture.
