FAQs
What type of wood is used for this gate?
The gate is constructed from pressure-treated Scandinavian Redwood, sourced from European-managed forests.
Does the gate come with hinges and latches?
No, the gate is supplied without hardware. Hinges, latches, and other necessary fittings must be purchased separately to ensure compatibility and secure installation.
What does 'pressure treated' mean?
Pressure treatment involves forcing preservatives into the wood under high pressure, offering protection against decay, mould, and insect attack.
Can I paint or stain the gate?
Yes, after fitting, you can apply your preferred exterior paint, stain, or sealant to protect the timber and achieve your desired aesthetic. The preserver treatment is a base layer.
What are the exact dimensions of the gate?
The gate measures W3300 x H1200 mm. Please note that timber dimensions can be subject to slight variations due to natural wood properties.
How often should I reapply the finish?
The frequency depends on your climate and exposure. Generally, reapplication of the protective finish every 1-3 years is recommended to maintain optimal protection.
What is the purpose of the steel infill panel?
The steel infill panel provides added security and a decorative element to the gate's design.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not hang straight
Check the levelness and stability of the gate posts. Adjust hinges or shims as necessary to ensure the gate hangs plumb and level.
Wood shows signs of minor cracking or warping
This is normal for natural timber due to expansion and contraction. Ensure the final finish is maintained. If warping is significant, check hinge and post stability.
Difficulty opening or closing the gate
Inspect for obstructions on the ground or around the gate frame. Check that hinges are lubricated and not binding. Ensure the gate posts are firmly set.
The preserver treatment appears insufficient
The initial treatment is a base protection. Apply the recommended final finish as soon as possible after installation for comprehensive protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure gate posts are securely installed and level. The gate is designed to hang on these posts using appropriate gate hardware (sold separately). Due to the natural properties of timber, slight variations in size may occur; allow for minor adjustments during installation. The gate is pre-treated, but a final finish should be applied after fitting to the desired colour and protection level.
Compatibility: This double driveway gate is designed for openings up to 3300mm wide and 1200mm high. Ensure your existing gate posts or desired installation location accommodate these dimensions. Hardware for hanging and securing the gate is not included and must be purchased separately, ensuring compatibility with the gate's weight and size.
Care: The initial pressure treatment protects against decay and fungi. However, to maintain the gate's appearance and durability, regular maintenance is recommended. Clean the gate periodically with mild soap and water. Reapply your chosen protective finish (stain, paint, or sealant) every 1-3 years, depending on exposure to the elements, to protect the wood from UV rays and moisture.
