Full details

This Drayton Tall Single Gate by Burbage Iron Craft is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their garden's security and aesthetic appeal with a traditional look. Its key benefit lies in its sturdy construction and generous height, offering both durability and a degree of privacy.

FAQs

What is the exact size of the gate?

The gate measures 1050mm Wide (41.3 inches) x 1800mm High (71 inches). Please note that all timber gate sizes are subject to slight variation due to normal shrinkage or expansion.

Is the gate ready to install immediately?

The gate is pressure-treated for initial protection. However, it is recommended to apply a final finish (stain or paint) after fitting for optimal weather protection and longevity.

How often should I re-treat the gate?

Re-treatment frequency depends on environmental factors and usage, but generally, reapplying a protective finish every 1-3 years is advisable. Regular inspections will help determine the right time.

What does 'pressure treated' mean?

Pressure treatment involves forcing a wood preservative deep into the timber under pressure. This provides protection against decay, mould, and insect attack, extending the wood's lifespan.

Can I get this gate in different sizes?

Yes, Burbage Iron Craft offers a made-to-measure service for the Drayton Range. Please inquire about availability and lead times for custom orders.

What is the warranty on this gate?

The product information does not specify a warranty period. However, the pressure treatment provides protection, and periodic user maintenance is required to ensure longevity.

What is the difference between the 'Blue' and 'Black' versions?

The product information indicates 'Blue' and 'Black' as colour families for different variant listings. The 'Blue' variant is described in this guide. The exact finish or treatment difference between colour variants is not detailed.

Are gate posts and hardware included?

No, gate posts and hardware such as hinges and latches are not included with the gate. These must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Gate is sticking or difficult to open/close

Check for ground obstructions, warped timber, or misaligned hinges. Adjust hinges or trim timber slightly if necessary. Ensure posts are stable.

Wood appears dry or faded

The gate requires re-treatment. Clean the surface, ensure it's dry, and apply a suitable wood preservative or finish.

Visible mould or mildew

Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water solution. Ensure good air circulation around the gate. Apply a mould-inhibiting finish.

Timber shows signs of rot or decay

This indicates a failure of the protective treatment or prolonged exposure to moisture. Minor decay may be treatable with wood hardener and sealant; severe decay may require replacement.

Gate sags significantly

Check hinge security and post stability. The internal bracing may be insufficient for the gate's weight or span; consider reinforcing or consulting a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect: Upon arrival, check the gate for any shipping damage. Note that slight variations in timber size are normal.
  2. Finish Application: Apply your chosen exterior wood finish (stain, varnish, or paint) to all surfaces of the gate, paying close attention to end grains. Allow to dry completely as per the finish manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Installation: Install the gate using appropriate hardware (hinges, latch, posts), ensuring it is level and swings freely. Compatibility with existing gate posts or new installations should be confirmed before purchase.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed as a single gate unit and requires suitable gate posts for mounting. Ensure posts are correctly spaced to accommodate the 1050mm width.
  • Hardware (hinges, latches) is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • A made-to-measure service is available for custom dimensions.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Clean the gate periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Re-treatment: Reapply a protective finish every 1-3 years, depending on exposure to weather and use. Inspect annually for signs of wear, mould, or decay.
  • Inspection: Periodically check the gate's structure, especially around joints and the base, for any signs of weakening or damage. The preserver offers protection but is not a guarantee against all forms of decay.
