The gate is constructed from timber that has been fully pressure treated using Tanalith E.
The pressure treatment significantly extends the lifespan of the timber, providing resistance against rot and decay for many years. Actual longevity depends on environmental conditions and maintenance.
No, it is recommended to wait 6-8 weeks for the pressure treatment to dry completely before painting or staining the gate.
It refers to the gate's framing structure, which includes bracing at the top and bottom, along with a diagonal brace connecting them, providing strength and stability.
Yes, the interlocking tongue and groove boards create a solid surface which helps in reducing noise transmission compared to slatted gates.
The gate is 6ft (approximately 180cm) high and 4ft (approximately 120cm) wide.
Yes, timber naturally expands and contracts in response to changes in temperature and humidity. Some dimensional variation should be expected.
Check that gate posts are plumb and secure. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and lubricated. Verify there are no ground obstructions.
This is a normal sign of Tanalith E pressure treatment. The flecks will fade over time as the wood weathers.
This can be due to natural timber expansion/contraction with weather. Ensure the gate is properly braced. Allow time for wood to acclimatize before permanent adjustments or painting.
Ensure the gate has had the recommended 6-8 week drying period post-installation before applying any finish. Wood must be clean and dry.
Setup: Ensure gate posts are securely installed and plumb. Hang the gate using appropriate heavy-duty gate hardware (not included), ensuring it swings freely without dragging on the ground. Adjust hinges as necessary.
Compatibility: This gate is designed to fit standard gate posts and openings of the specified dimensions (180cm high x 120cm wide). Ensure your post spacing accommodates this width.
Care: The timber is pressure treated for longevity. Allow 6-8 weeks after installation for the treatment to dry completely before painting or staining. Use a damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals. Timber will naturally weather and may show slight dimensional changes due to moisture and temperature fluctuations. For sustained aesthetic appeal, periodic re-treatment or staining after the initial drying period is recommended.
