FAQs

How do I measure for a made-to-measure gate?

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.

What does 'pressure treated' mean?

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.

Can I paint or stain the gate immediately?

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.

What causes the green flecks on 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.

What is the typical height of this gate?

The gate is typically 5ft to 6ft (180cm) high, suitable for standard pedestrian access.

What is the weight of the gate?

The gate weighs approximately 44.09 pounds (20 kg), which is a manageable weight for most installations, though assistance may be helpful.

How should I maintain the gate?

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.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not close properly

Verify hinge and latch alignment. Ensure the gate opening measurement accounted for hinge and latch clearance. Check for any obstructions or ground contact.

Wood shows green flecks

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.

Gate sags or appears unstable

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.

Wood appears damp or is difficult to paint

Allow an additional 1-2 weeks for the treatment to fully dry, especially in damp conditions. Painting too soon can trap moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Customizable width ensures a perfect fit for unique openings.
  • Pressure-treated timber provides excellent durability and weather resistance.
  • Tongue and groove construction offers a robust and visually appealing finish.
  • Semi-braced design enhances structural stability.
  • Designed for pedestrian use, ideal for garden paths and entrances.

Cons

  • Natural timber may expand and contract with weather changes, requiring careful measurement.
  • Green flecks from Tanalith E treatment are visible initially and fade over time.
  • Requires a waiting period of 6-8 weeks before painting to allow treatment to dry.
  • Weight of approximately 44 lbs means it might require assistance for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
