This guide is for property owners and project managers needing custom-sized pedestrian gates. The key benefit is a perfectly fitting gate for any opening, eliminating the need for modifications. A potential caveat is the expectation of natural timber expansion and contraction. This pressure-treated, tongue-and-groove gate offers durability and a secure closure for pathways and garden entrances, with widths customizable from 90cm to 105cm and a height of 5ft to 6ft (180cm).

Measure the exact width of the gap where the gate will be installed. Deduct 10mm for the hinges and another 10mm for the latch to ensure adequate clearance for opening and closing.
Pressure treatment forces preservatives deep into the wood, making it resistant to rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan, especially in outdoor conditions.
No, you should wait 6-8 weeks after receiving the gate for the Tanalith E treatment to dry completely before painting or staining. This prevents trapping moisture within the wood.
The green flecks are a visual indicator of the Tanalith E treatment being applied. They are harmless and will naturally fade as the wood weathers over time.
The gate is typically 5ft to 6ft (180cm) high, suitable for standard pedestrian access.
The gate weighs approximately 44.09 pounds (20 kg), which is a manageable weight for most installations, though assistance may be helpful.
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check and tighten hardware. Reapply a suitable finish after the initial drying period if desired.
Verify hinge and latch alignment. Ensure the gate opening measurement accounted for hinge and latch clearance. Check for any obstructions or ground contact.
This is a normal characteristic of Tanalith E treatment. The flecks will fade over time as the wood weathers. This does not affect the gate's durability.
Ensure gate posts are securely installed and plumb. Check that all hinges and bracing are tightly secured. Consider adding an anti-sag gate kit if needed.
Allow an additional 1-2 weeks for the treatment to fully dry, especially in damp conditions. Painting too soon can trap moisture.
Setup: Before installation, measure the intended opening. Deduct 10mm for hinges and 10mm for latch clearance to ensure smooth operation. Install gate hardware (hinges and latch) according to manufacturer instructions, ensuring secure mounting to gate posts.
Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard pedestrian access and compatible with most gate posts. Ensure the posts are sturdy and set correctly to support the gate's weight and movement.
Care: The timber is pressure-treated with Tanalith E. Green flecks may be visible and will fade as the wood weathers. Allow 6-8 weeks for the treatment to dry completely before applying any paint, stain, or sealant. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check hardware for wear and tighten as needed.
