FAQs

What is the lead time for this gate?

As this gate is often made to order, the lead time can be up to 28 working days. It is advisable to check availability before placing an order.

Does the gate come pre-finished?

The gate is treated with a general-purpose preserver, but this is not a final finish. You will need to apply your own exterior wood finish after fitting for complete protection and aesthetics.

Can the size of the gate be customized?

Yes, a made-to-measure service is available for the Windsor Range. Please inquire for details and potential lead times.

How often should I re-treat the wood?

The frequency of re-treatment depends on factors like weather conditions and usage. Periodically inspect the gate and re-apply your exterior wood finish as needed to ensure its longevity.

What is the material of the gate frame and boards?

The gate is constructed from Scandinavian Redwood, sourced from European-managed forests. The frame is 70x70mm, bracing is 70x54mm & 44x44mm, and the tongue and groove boards are 95x14mm.

Will the preserver guarantee protection against rot?

The preserver provides protection against decay, mould, and blue-staining fungi. However, it is not a 100% decay guarantee, and the end user is responsible for periodic inspection and maintenance.

What are the overall dimensions of the gate?

The gate measures 1050mm (41.3 inches) in width and 1800mm (71 inches) in height.

Troubleshooting

Gate is sticking or difficult to open/close.

Check that the gate posts are plumb and stable. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and lubricated. Minor adjustments to hanging hardware may be needed. Check for any ground obstruction.

Wood appears to be warping or shrinking.

Timber naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity. Ensure the gate has adequate clearance. If warping is severe, check the structural integrity and consider re-treatment.

Surface mould or discoloration is visible.

This can occur in damp conditions. Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water, allow to dry thoroughly, and re-apply the exterior wood finish.

Preservative treatment seems insufficient.

The initial preserver is a general-purpose treatment. It is essential to apply a final, appropriate exterior wood finish for long-term protection and regularly re-treat the timber as recommended.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines durable Scandinavian Redwood with an attractive steel infill for aesthetic appeal.
  • Interlocking tongue and groove boards ensure a sturdy and long-lasting construction.
  • Provides a good level of privacy due to its height and solid boarding.
  • Comes pre-treated with a preserver to offer initial protection against common timber issues.
  • Made-to-measure service available for custom sizing needs.

Cons

  • Can have a lead time of up to 28 working days as it's often made to order.
  • Requires a final finish to be applied after fitting and periodic re-treatment for optimal longevity.
  • The preserver is not a 100% decay guarantee; periodic inspection by the user is necessary.
  • Slight variations in timber size can occur due to natural shrinkage or expansion.
  • Potential additional delivery charges may apply for orders exceeding 10 units.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Post Installation: Ensure sturdy gate posts are securely installed to support the weight and movement of the gate.
  2. Hanging: Attach the gate to the posts using appropriate hinges, ensuring it swings freely.
  3. Final Finish: Apply a suitable exterior wood finish (paint, stain, or varnish) after fitting to provide maximum protection and desired aesthetic. This is crucial as the preserver is a general-purpose treatment and not a final finish.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed for standard garden entrances. Ensure your post spacing accommodates the 1050mm (41.3") width. Made-to-measure options are available if standard sizing is not suitable.
  • Compatible with most standard gate hardware, hinges, and latches.

Care:

  • Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the timber for signs of wear, decay, or damage. The preserver offers protection, but it is not a complete guarantee against decay.
  • Re-treatment: Re-apply your chosen exterior wood finish periodically. The frequency will depend on exposure to weather conditions and usage.
  • Cleaning: Clean the gate with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood or finish.
