Product Information

Full details

This Drayton Square Top Mid High Single Gate is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable and aesthetically pleasing gate for garden entrances or property boundaries. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction from Scandinavian Redwood, offering natural beauty and resilience. A caveat to note is that timber sizes can vary slightly due to natural wood characteristics, and a final finish is recommended for optimal protection. The gate features a sturdy frame and tongue and groove boards, pressure-treated to resist decay.

FAQs

Is hardware included with the gate?

No, the gate is typically sold separately from hardware such as hinges and latches. These will need to be purchased according to your installation requirements.

What is the purpose of pressure treatment?

Pressure treatment impregnates the timber with a chemical preservative. This protects the wood against decay, fungi, and insect attack, extending its lifespan compared to untreated timber.

Can I paint or stain this gate?

Yes, a final finish such as a wood stain or exterior paint is recommended. Ensure the timber is dry and clean before applying any finish.

How accurate are the gate dimensions?

While we strive for accuracy, timber gate sizes may vary slightly due to the natural properties of wood, including shrinkage and expansion.

What should I do if the gate doesn't fit my opening exactly?

A made-to-measure service is available for custom sizing. Minor adjustments might be possible on-site, but significant alterations are not recommended.

How often should I reapply the protective finish?

The frequency depends on the product used and exposure to weather. Generally, reapplication every 1-2 years is advisable to maintain optimal protection and appearance.

Where is this timber sourced from?

The timber is sourced from European managed forests, specifically Scandinavian Redwood, known for its durability and aesthetic qualities.

Troubleshooting

Gate sagging or binding

Check that gate posts are firm and plumb. Adjust hinges to ensure proper alignment. If the gate is warped, a temporary support and reapplication of finish might help, or a made-to-measure replacement may be needed.

Wood showing signs of decay or mould

Ensure the gate has adequate ventilation and is not constantly in contact with damp soil. Clean affected areas and reapply a suitable wood preserver and exterior finish. Consider raising the gate slightly off the ground if it's in direct contact.

Difficulty opening/closing

Inspect hinges for rust or obstruction and lubricate if necessary. Check for any ground obstructions or settling of the gate posts. Ensure the gate is not swollen due to excessive moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from durable, sustainably sourced Scandinavian Redwood.
  • Robust frame and board design ensures long-lasting sturdiness.
  • Pressure treatment offers initial protection against rot and fungi.
  • Classic square top design complements various outdoor aesthetics.
  • Made-to-measure service available for custom fits.

Cons

  • Requires a final finish for maximum weather protection.
  • Timber dimensions may experience slight natural variations.
  • Limited stock is typical, often made to order, potentially leading to lead times.
  • Does not include hardware (hinges, latches) in the standard offering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires appropriate gate posts and hardware (hinges, latches, which are typically sold separately). Ensure posts are securely set in the ground to support the gate's weight and movement. Adjust hinges for proper alignment and smooth operation.

Compatibility: This gate is designed for standard garden openings. Consider the swing direction and clearance needed for opening. It can be hung from timber, metal, or masonry posts, provided they are robust enough.

Care: While pressure treated, a final protective finish (such as a good quality exterior wood stain or sealant) is highly recommended to enhance durability and maintain appearance, especially on exposed surfaces. Reapply finish periodically as needed, typically annually, depending on weather exposure. Keep the gate clear of debris and ensure hinges are lubricated.
