FAQs

Are these gates suitable for all weather conditions?

The gates are constructed from pressure-treated Scandinavian Redwood, which offers protection against decay and fungi. However, like all natural timber products, they require regular maintenance, including the application of a suitable exterior finish, to withstand various weather conditions effectively.

How often should I reapply the wood finish?

The frequency depends on the type of finish used and environmental exposure. Generally, reapplication is recommended every 1 to 3 years, or when the existing finish shows signs of wear, fading, or peeling.

Can I get these gates in a different size?

Yes, made-to-measure services are available for this range, allowing you to order gates tailored to your specific dimensions. Please note that custom orders may take up to 28 working days.

What is included with the gates?

This product listing is for the gates themselves. Gate posts, hinges, latches, locks, and any required finishing treatments are typically sold separately.

What does 'pressure treated' mean for these gates?

Pressure treatment involves forcing wood preservatives deep into the timber under pressure. This provides enhanced protection against rot, decay, and insect attack compared to surface treatments, extending the lifespan of the wood.

How should I clean the gates?

Clean the gates using a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that could damage the wood or its finish.

What is the warranty period for these gates?

Information regarding warranty periods is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer's warranty information for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Gates are difficult to open or close.

Check that hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Ensure gate posts are stable and not leaning. Clear any obstructions from the gate's path. Minor adjustments to hinges may be required.

Wood appears to be cracking or splitting.

This can be a natural characteristic of timber, especially with changes in humidity. Ensure a protective finish is applied and maintained. Small cracks typically do not affect structural integrity but should be monitored.

Signs of mould or decay are appearing.

Clean the affected area with a mild solution and allow to dry thoroughly. Reapply a suitable wood preserver or finish. Ensure good air circulation around the gates and avoid prolonged contact with damp soil.

Gate size does not perfectly match the opening.

Minor adjustments can sometimes be made by trimming edges if necessary, but only if you have opted for standard sizes and have the expertise. For precise fits, consider the made-to-measure service in future or consult a professional installer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have the necessary gate posts and hardware (hinges, latches, locks) for installation. These are typically sold separately.
  2. Install gate posts securely into the ground, ensuring they are plumb and at the correct width to accommodate the gates.
  3. Attach hinges to the gate posts and the gates, allowing for smooth operation.
  4. Hang the gates, checking for correct alignment and clearance.
  5. Install any desired latches or locking mechanisms.
  6. Apply a suitable exterior wood finish (stain, sealant, or paint) to protect the timber and achieve the desired look. This step is crucial for longevity and should be done after fitting.

Compatibility:

These gates are designed for standard driveway entrances. While made-to-measure services are available, ensure your chosen opening is compatible with the available sizes or custom options. Standard gate hardware should be compatible, but always check dimensions before purchasing.

Care:

  • Finishing: Apply a quality exterior wood finish immediately after installation and reapply periodically as needed (typically every 1-3 years, depending on exposure and product used).
  • Cleaning: Clean the gates with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the gates for any signs of decay, damage, or loose fittings. Pay attention to areas near the ground.
  • Maintenance: Re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver or finish will be necessary over time to maintain protection against the elements.
