Pressure-treated means the timber has been impregnated with a wood preservative (Tanalith E) under pressure. This treatment penetrates deep into the wood, protecting it from rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan.

It is recommended to allow 6-8 weeks after installation before painting. This period allows the timber to acclimatize to environmental conditions and ensures it is dry enough for paint adhesion.

This is a heavy-duty pedestrian gate and is not designed for driveway use, which typically requires much larger and heavier gates.

You will need suitable gate hinges and a latch or lock mechanism. These are not included with the gate and should be selected based on your specific post type and security needs.

This can occur due to timber contraction during dry periods. The interlocking design should minimize significant gaps, and the wood will typically expand again with moisture.
