FAQs

What is the exact size of the gate?

The gate dimensions are approximately 750mm in width and 950mm in height.

Does the gate come with hinges and a latch?

No, hinges and latch are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is the gate ready to be painted or stained?

The gate is pressure treated, but a final finish like stain or sealant is recommended for optimal protection and appearance. Ensure the timber is dry before applying any finish.

Can I get this gate in a different size?

A made-to-measure service is available. Please inquire separately about custom sizing.

How long will the gate last?

Due to its pressure-treated Scandinavian Redwood construction, the gate is designed for durability and resistance to decay, mould, and fungi. With proper care and maintenance, it should provide many years of service.

What does 'pressure treated' mean?

Pressure treatment forces a wood preservative deep into the timber under pressure, protecting it against decay, mould, and insect attack.

Will the timber size vary?

Yes, all timber gate sizes are subject to slight variation due to normal shrinkage or expansion of wood.

Troubleshooting

Gate appears to be sticking or rubbing

Check for any obstructions or uneven ground. Minor adjustments to hinges or post alignment may be necessary. Ensure the gate has adequate clearance. Natural timber expansion/contraction can cause temporary issues.

Wood shows signs of decay or mould

This is uncommon due to pressure treatment, but if noticed, clean the affected area and reapply a suitable wood preserver and finish. Ensure the gate has adequate drainage and is not in constant contact with damp soil.

Gate hardware is loose or damaged

Tighten or replace any loose or damaged hinges, latches, or bolts. Ensure all fixings are appropriate for outdoor use and the weight of the gate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation will require appropriate gate hardware such as hinges and a latch, sold separately. Ensure gate posts are securely set in the ground. The gate should be hung to allow for slight ground clearance and to accommodate any natural timber movement.

Compatibility: This gate is designed to be fitted between two posts or existing structures. For consistent appearance, consider purchasing matching items from the Burbage Iron Craft range. Ensure any hardware chosen is compatible with the gate's thickness and weight.

Care: While pressure treated, a final finish such as a stain or sealant is recommended to further protect the timber and maintain its appearance. Reapply finishes periodically as per the product's instructions. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Inspect regularly for any signs of wear and address minor issues promptly.
