Product Information
Full details
The Burbage Iron Craft Hampton Low Double Driveway Garden Gate is designed for homeowners seeking a robust and traditional entrance solution. Its primary benefit is enhanced security and curb appeal for driveways up to 3.6 meters wide. A key consideration is that the gate requires a final coat of paint after initial assembly, as the provided finish is a general-purpose preserver. Key features include durable Scandinavian Redwood construction, sturdy framing, and integrated steel infill bars for added strength and security.

FAQs
What is the overall width of the gate when closed?
The gate set is 3600mm (3.6 meters) wide when fully open. When closed, the physical width will depend on the overlap and any hardware used, but the opening it covers is 3.6 meters.
Do I need to paint the gate?
Yes, the gate is treated with a general-purpose preserver and the steel bars are primed. A final coat of exterior paint or wood finish is recommended for full protection and desired appearance.
What type of wood is used?
The gates are made from European managed Scandinavian Redwood, which is known for its durability and suitability for outdoor use.
Are the steel infill bars included?
Yes, the gate features integrated steel infill bars for added security and structural integrity.
Can I install this gate myself?
The gate requires assembly and installation. Basic DIY skills and appropriate tools are necessary. You may wish to consult a professional if you are unsure.
What are the exact dimensions of the frame and bracing?
The frame is 70x70mm, the bracing is 70x54mm and 44x44mm, and the tongue and groove panels are 95x14mm.
Is this gate suitable for windy areas?
The robust construction with steel infill bars provides good stability. However, ensure posts are securely installed and consider wind loads in your area. A solid top gate might be more affected by wind than this design with gaps.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check for obstructions on the ground or alignment issues with the posts. Ensure hinges are correctly fitted and lubricated.
Wood appears to be swelling or shrinking
This is a natural characteristic of timber. Ensure adequate clearance is maintained during installation. Apply a good quality exterior finish to help stabilize the wood.
Primed steel bars showing signs of rust
Ensure the steel bars have received their final top coat of paint as recommended. If rust appears through the primer, clean the affected area, prime again, and apply a top coat.
Preservative treatment seems insufficient
The preserver offers basic protection. Apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint as the final finish for comprehensive weatherproofing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The gate requires assembly and installation. Ensure you have appropriate tools and potentially post fixtures. The gate is designed to be hung from sturdy posts, which may need to be purchased separately depending on your existing setup. Ensure posts are securely set in the ground.
Compatibility: This is a double gate system designed for driveways up to 3600mm (3.6 meters) wide. It is compatible with most standard driveway entrances. For optimal function, ensure that the ground surface where the gates will swing is relatively level.
Care: The gate is treated with a general-purpose preserver, offering initial protection. However, for maximum longevity and aesthetic appeal, a final coat of exterior paint or wood stain should be applied. Reapply protective finishes annually or as needed, especially after periods of harsh weather. Keep the gate clear of debris, and periodically check hinges and fittings for security and lubrication. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
