FAQs
What type of wood is the gate made from?
The gate is crafted from Scandinavian Redwood, sourced from European-managed forests.
Does the gate come pre-finished?
The gate is pressure treated with a general-purpose preserver, but a final finish (stain or paint) is recommended after fitting for optimal protection and appearance.
How long will it take to receive my gate?
Stock is limited, and orders can take up to 28 working days for dispatch, especially for made-to-measure options.
What are the dimensions of the gate?
The actual width measurements listed refer to the gate itself, not the opening it is intended for. Please check product details for specific dimensions, noting that slight variations can occur.
Can I get this gate in different colors?
Yes, sibling products are available in Blue and Black finishes, though the primary listing is for the Blue variant.
Are finials included?
Optional ball top finials are available upon request and are not included as standard.
Do I need to treat the gate immediately?
The gate is pressure treated for initial protection. However, applying a final finish after installation is recommended for best results and longevity, especially in harsh weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to close or is rubbing.
Check if the gate posts are plumb and stable. Minor adjustments to hinges or post alignment may be necessary. Ensure no debris is obstructing the gate's swing path.
Wood shows signs of minor surface mould or staining.
This can occur before a final finish is applied, especially in damp conditions. Clean the affected area with a mild solution and allow to dry thoroughly. Apply a suitable wood preservative or sealant.
Gate feels less sturdy over time.
Inspect the gate's fixings and posts for stability. Reapply wood treatment or sealant as needed, paying attention to joints and end grains. Consider checking and tightening any ironmongery.
Observed slight warping or bowing of timber.
This is a natural characteristic of timber due to moisture changes. Ensure the gate is adequately supported by posts and hinges. In most cases, this will not significantly affect functionality. Allow time for the wood to acclimatize.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have the correct gate posts and suitable ironmongery (hinges, latches) for installation. The gate should be hung using sturdy hinges attached to securely fitted posts. Allow for the natural movement of timber; do not fix the gate too tightly against posts. Measure your opening carefully and consider the gate's actual width.
Compatibility: This gate is designed as a single entry point and can be fitted to most standard garden posts. Ensure posts are set firmly in the ground or concreted for stability.
Care: While pressure treated, annual inspection is recommended. Clean the gate with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. To prolong its life and maintain appearance, apply a suitable wood preservative, stain, or paint annually, especially after the initial fitting. Re-treatment frequency will depend on exposure to weather. Ensure any steel infill panels are painted to prevent rust.
