Product Information

Full details

The Drayton Low Shaped Top Double Gate is designed for homeowners looking to enhance their garden's aesthetic appeal and security with a traditional double gate. Its key benefit is the robust construction using Scandinavian Redwood from European managed forests, offering durability and a classic look. A caveat is that while pressure-treated, a final finish is recommended for optimal longevity, and stock is limited, potentially leading to lead times for made-to-order items.

FAQs

What is the primary material used for this gate?

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

Does the gate come with hinges and a latch?

No, the gate is supplied without hardware. You will need to purchase hinges, latches, and any necessary fixings separately.

Is the timber pre-finished?

The timber is pressure-treated with a general-purpose preserver. A final decorative finish or sealant is recommended for optimal protection and appearance.

Can I get this gate in a custom size?

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

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

Made-to-order items can potentially take up to 28 working days.

What does 'pressure-treated' mean for the wood?

Pressure treatment forces a preservative deep into the wood, protecting it against decay, mould, and fungi.

Are the dimensions exact?

Please note that all timber gate sizes are subject to slight variations due to normal shrinkage or expansion of wood.

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to close or sticks.

Check for ground obstructions or swelling timber. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and tightened. Adjustments may be needed if posts have shifted.

Wood appears to be degrading or showing signs of rot.

This can occur if the pressure treatment has been compromised or if exposed to constant damp. Apply a suitable wood preservative and ensure good air circulation around the gate.

Gate hardware is rusted or seized.

Clean hardware with a wire brush and apply a rust inhibitor or lubricant. Consider replacing heavily corroded hardware with stainless steel or galvanized alternatives.

Uneven appearance or cracking in the wood.

This is natural wood behavior due to moisture changes. Ensure a protective finish is applied and maintained. Minor cracks typically do not affect structural integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with substantial timber dimensions.
  • Pressure treatment provides good initial protection against rot and fungi.
  • Attractive traditional design enhances garden aesthetics.
  • Available in various sizes, including a made-to-measure option.
  • Sustainably sourced materials.

Cons

  • Requires a final finish for maximum weather protection and longevity.
  • Limited stock availability may result in waiting times for orders.
  • Timber sizes are subject to natural shrinkage/expansion.
  • Color variations may occur due to natural wood properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure gate posts are securely installed and plumb. Hang the gate using appropriate ironmongery (not included, sold separately) suitable for the gate's weight and your post type. Adjust hinges as needed for smooth operation.

Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard garden use. While sizes can vary slightly, it is compatible with most standard gate posts. For specific dimensions, refer to product specifications or consider the made-to-measure service. Hardware for hanging and latching will need to be purchased separately and should be chosen to match the gate's style and function.

Care: The timber is pressure-treated for protection. However, for maximum longevity and to maintain its appearance, it is recommended to apply a high-quality wood stain, sealant, or paint. Reapply treatments as needed, typically every 1-3 years depending on exposure and product type. Keep the gate area clear of debris and vegetation that could trap moisture.
