Product Information

Full details

The Burbage Iron Craft Windsor Single Garden Gate is designed for homeowners seeking a blend of aesthetic appeal, privacy, and security for their garden entrances. Its key benefit lies in the robust construction featuring Scandinavian Redwood tongue and groove boards combined with an intricate steel infill panel, offering both visual distinction and durability. A key consideration is that the pressure treatment provides initial protection, but the gate requires a final finish after fitting and periodic re-treatment to ensure longevity.

FAQs

What is the exact height and width of the gate?

The Windsor Single Garden Gate measures 900mm wide (approximately 35.5 inches) by 1800mm high (approximately 71 inches).

Does the gate come with hinges and a latch?

The gate is typically sold without hardware. You will need to purchase hinges, latches, and any necessary post-mounting hardware separately, choosing items appropriate for your installation.

What kind of wood is used for the gate?

The gate is constructed from Scandinavian Redwood, sourced from European-managed forests, and is pressure-treated with a general-purpose preserver.

How often should I re-treat the wood?

The frequency of re-treatment depends on environmental factors such as weather exposure and usage. Periodic inspection is recommended, with re-treatment typically needed every 1-3 years to maintain protection.

Can I paint or stain the gate?

Yes, after applying the initial required finish, you can paint or stain the gate with exterior-grade products to match your garden's aesthetic and provide additional protection.

Is the steel infill panel rust-proof?

The steel infill panel is designed for outdoor use. While it offers a decorative element, it may require maintenance like any metal outdoors. Addressing any surface rust promptly with appropriate treatments will prolong its appearance.

What does 'subject to slight variation' mean for timber sizes?

Wood is a natural material that can expand or contract slightly with changes in humidity and temperature. This means the final dimensions might vary minimally from the stated measurements.

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to swing or sticks.

Check hinge alignment and ensure posts are plumb. Clear any obstructions around the gate's swing path. Adjust hinges if necessary.

Wood appears to be drying out or cracking.

Apply a fresh coat of exterior wood finish. Ensure the gate is not in constant contact with standing water. Store firewood away from the gate.

Steel infill panel shows signs of rust.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting metal primer followed by a suitable exterior metal paint. Check the original coating for damage.

Gate sags over time.

Ensure gate posts are deeply set and stable. Consider adding a gate support or diagonal brace if sagging is significant. Heavy-duty hinges can also help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines durable wood with decorative steel for a unique look.
  • Tongue and groove design offers good privacy.
  • Pressure-treated wood provides initial protection against rot and decay.
  • Sturdy construction with a solid frame and bracing.
  • Made from sustainably managed Scandinavian Redwood.

Cons

  • Requires a final finish application after installation for optimal protection.
  • Needs periodic re-treatment to maintain longevity, depending on environmental factors.
  • Timber sizes may vary slightly due to natural wood expansion/contraction.
  • The preserver is not a guaranteed decay prevention; user inspection is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have appropriate gate hardware (hinges, latch, post attachments) suitable for the gate's weight and your post material.
  2. Install gate posts securely, ensuring they are plumb and at the correct distance for the gate width.
  3. Attach hinges to the gate and posts, allowing for proper swing clearance.
  4. Mount the gate and test its swing, adjusting hardware as needed.
  5. Install a suitable latch mechanism.

Compatibility:

This gate is designed for standard garden openings and can be fitted to timber, metal, or brick posts. Ensure post spacing is accurate for the 900mm gate width.

Care:

  • Finishing: Apply a suitable exterior wood finish (stain, varnish, or paint) after installation to protect the timber from UV rays and moisture.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the gate for signs of wear, decay, or damage. Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Reapply protective finishes every 1-3 years, or as conditions dictate, to ensure long life and maintain the pressure treatment's effectiveness.
