FAQs

What is included with the gate?

The gate itself is supplied. Hinges, latches, handles, and posts are typically sold separately and must be purchased in addition to the gate.

Does the gate come pre-finished?

No, the gate is pressure treated for basic protection but requires a final finish (stain, paint, or sealant) to be applied by the customer for full weather protection and desired aesthetics.

Can I get this gate in a different size?

Yes, a made-to-measure service is available. Please contact the manufacturer or retailer for details and ordering.

How often should I reapply the finish?

The frequency depends on the type of finish used and environmental exposure. Typically, annual reapplication or as recommended by the finish manufacturer is advised.

What is the expected lifespan of the gate?

With proper maintenance, including regular reapplication of a protective finish, a pressure-treated timber gate like this can last many years. Factors like climate and exposure will influence its lifespan.

What does 'pressure treated' mean?

Pressure treatment forces a wood preservative deep into the timber, providing protection against decay, fungi, and insect attack. It's a crucial first step in protecting the wood.

What are the dimensions of the gate?

The standard dimensions are 1050mm wide by 950mm high.

Troubleshooting

Gate sticks or doesn't close properly

Check that gate posts are plumb and stable. Adjust hinges if they have shifted. Ensure no obstructions are present in the gate's path. Minor wood expansion/shrinkage might require slight adjustments.

Wood appears to be weathering unevenly

This is natural for timber. Apply a new coat of wood stain, oil, or paint to provide even protection and restore appearance. Ensure the gate is clean and dry before application.

Visible mold or fungal growth

Clean the affected area with a suitable wood cleaner. Ensure the gate is drying thoroughly, and consider applying a more robust preservative or topcoat if the problem persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from sustainably sourced Scandinavian Redwood.
  • Pressure treatment provides initial protection against rot and fungal decay.
  • Solid build with substantial frame and bracing components.
  • Traditional tongue and groove design offers aesthetic appeal.
  • Made-to-measure option available for specific needs.

Cons

  • Requires a final finish to be applied by the user for full protection and desired look.
  • Timber sizes can vary slightly due to natural wood expansion and shrinkage.
  • Limited stock held, may require a lead time for made-to-order units.
  • Color is listed as 'Black' but may refer to a stain or finish applied.
  • No hardware (hinges, latches) included, requiring separate purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires appropriate gate hardware (hinges, latch, posts), which are not included. Ensure posts are securely set in the ground, considering appropriate spacing for the 1050mm gate width. Adjust hinges for correct alignment and smooth operation.

Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard garden openings. It can be fitted between existing walls, brick pillars, or dedicated gate posts. For made-to-measure requirements, contact the manufacturer.

Care: The gate arrives pressure treated, offering protection against decay. However, to maintain its appearance and extend its lifespan, a final finish such as a wood stain, oil, or paint should be applied. Reapply this finish periodically, typically annually or as recommended by the finish manufacturer, especially after periods of heavy rain or strong sunlight. Clean the gate with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals.
