Product Information

Full details

This Premier Garden Supplies Premier Lap Gate is ideal for homeowners looking to enhance their garden's aesthetic appeal and security with a traditional, durable pedestrian gate. Its key benefit is the robust construction and weather-resistant treatment, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. A minor caveat is the recommendation to wait 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any finishes to allow the timber to properly settle and dry. The gate features horizontal larch lap timber boards mounted in a smooth-planed frame, all tanalised and pressure-treated for maximum protection against rot and British weather conditions. It's assembled using traditional mortise and tenon joints for superior strength and quality.

Is this gate suitable for children and pets?

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to close or sticks

Check if posts are plumb and square. Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and not damaged. Minor seasonal wood movement can cause temporary stiffness.

Wood appears to be cracking or splitting

Slight surface checking is normal for natural timber. Ensure the gate is not over-exposed to direct, harsh sunlight if possible and allow it to acclimatize. Deep splits may require professional assessment.

Gate sags or appears loose

Verify that the hinges are securely fastened to both the gate and the post. Ensure the posts themselves are firmly set in the ground. Consider adding a diagonal support if sagging is significant and persistent.

Discoloration or mould growth

Ensure adequate ventilation around the gate. Clean affected areas with a mild soap and water solution. Reapply a suitable wood preservative if recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the gate posts are securely installed and level. The gate can be hung using standard gate hinges, which are typically sold separately. The specific hanging side can be determined during installation.

Compatibility: This gate is designed as a pedestrian access point and fits standard openings. It is compatible with most gate posts and hardware. Dimensions are approximately Height 120 cm x Width 90 cm x Depth 3.5 cm.

Care:

  1. Initial Drying Period: It is crucial to allow 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any paint, stain, or sealant. This allows the treated timber to dry and settle.
  2. Maintenance: As with all natural timber products, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Reapply a suitable wood treatment or finish every few years to maintain appearance and further protect the timber, following the product manufacturer's guidelines.
  3. Seasonal Movement: Be aware that natural timber can expand and contract with changes in weather. Minor dimensional variations are normal and do not affect the gate's functionality.
