Product Information

Full details

This garden gate is designed for homeowners seeking to enhance their outdoor space with a blend of robust security and aesthetic appeal. Its key benefit lies in the striking combination of durable Scandinavian Redwood and an intricately designed, powder-coated steel infill panel, offering both privacy and visual interest. A key consideration is that while pressure-treated, the wood requires a final finish upon fitting and periodic re-treatment to ensure longevity.

FAQs

What material is the gate made from?

The gate is constructed from Scandinavian Redwood sourced from European-managed forests, with an intricately designed steel infill panel that is zinc and powder-coated black.

Does the gate come with posts, hinges, or a latch?

No, this product is for the gate panel only. Gate posts, hinges, latches, and any other necessary hardware must be purchased separately.

What does 'pressure treated' mean for the wood?

The timber is treated with a general-purpose preserver to provide initial protection against decay, mould, and blue-staining fungi. However, it is not a 100% guarantee against decay and requires further finishing and maintenance.

Do I need to apply a finish to the wood?

Yes, the gate should have a final wood finish (such as stain, varnish, or paint) applied after fitting. The preserver offers basic protection, but a final finish is crucial for long-term durability and appearance.

How often should I re-treat the wood?

The frequency of re-treatment depends on factors like weather conditions, exposure, and usage. Periodic inspection and re-application of protective finishes are recommended to ensure the gate's longevity.

Are the timber gate sizes exact?

All timber gate sizes are subject to slight variations due to the natural characteristics of wood, such as shrinkage and expansion.

What are the dimensions of the gate?

The gate measures 750mm (29.5 inches) wide and 1800mm (71 inches) high.

Are there delivery charges for multiple gates?

For orders of more than 10 units, additional delivery charges may apply. Please check with the supplier for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Gate sags or drags on the ground

Check the sturdiness of the gate posts and ensure hinges are securely fastened and correctly aligned. Adjust hinges if possible or consider reinforcing the posts.

Wood appears to be drying out or cracking

This can happen due to natural wood shrinkage. Ensure a protective finish has been applied and reapply periodically. Consider using a wood conditioner.

Steel infill panel shows signs of rust

While powder-coated, extreme conditions might affect the finish. Clean gently and consider applying a touch-up paint designed for metal if minor rust appears.

Gate is difficult to open or close

Check hinges for obstruction or wear. Ensure the gate is not rubbing against the ground or posts. Lubricate hinges if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare Gate Posts: Ensure you have sturdy gate posts installed securely in the ground. The gate itself does not include posts.
  2. Apply Final Finish: Before or immediately after fitting, apply your desired wood finish (e.g., stain, varnish, paint) to the timber components. This is crucial for long-term protection beyond the initial preserver treatment.
  3. Hanging Hardware: Attach suitable gate hinges and a latch mechanism (not included) to the gate and posts.
  4. Mount Gate: Hang the gate, ensuring it swings freely and aligns correctly with the posts.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed to be fitted between two gate posts (sold separately).
  • Hardware such as hinges, latches, and handles are not included and must be purchased separately.

Care:

  • Initial Inspection: After fitting, inspect all timber surfaces.
  • Periodic Re-treatment: Re-apply wood finishes and protective treatments as needed, depending on exposure to weather and frequency of use. This is essential for maintaining the wood's integrity.
  • Cleaning: Clean the gate with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood finish or steel panel.
  • Inspection: Regularly check for signs of wear, decay, or damage, especially around the base of the gate and any joints. Address any issues promptly.
