Product Information

Full details

This Premier Garden Supplies Heavy Duty H-Frame Feather Edge Gate is designed for homeowners seeking robust privacy and security for garden pathways. Its key benefit is extreme durability owing to its H-frame construction and thick feather edge boards. A caveat to consider is that timber will naturally expand and contract, and the green flecks from pressure treatment will fade over time. This gate offers a traditional aesthetic with modern strength, ideal for secure garden access.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the gate?

The gate is 6ft (180cm) in height and 3ft (90cm) in width.

Is the gate pre-treated for weather resistance?

Yes, the timber is pressure-treated using Tanalith E, which protects against rot and decay.

Can I paint or stain the gate immediately?

No, we recommend waiting 6-8 weeks after installation for the pressure treatment to dry completely before painting or staining.

What causes the green flecks on the wood?

The green flecks are a result of the Tanalith E pressure treatment process and will fade over time as the wood weathers.

Will the gate warp or change size?

Timber naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity and temperature. Some dimensional variation should be expected.

What type of joints are used in the H-frame?

The H-frame uses traditional half-lap joints for excellent strength and smoothness.

Does the gate come with hardware like hinges or a latch?

This guide focuses on the gate itself. Hardware such as hinges and latches are typically sold separately and should be chosen based on the gate's heavy-duty nature.

Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to close or sticks

Check for obstructions, ground clearance, and ensure hinges are aligned and functioning correctly. Minor expansion due to weather may require slight adjustment.

Green flecks visible on the wood

This is a normal sign of Tanalith E pressure treatment. The flecks are harmless and will fade as the wood weathers over time.

Gate feels unstable or wobbly

Ensure gate posts are secure and that the gate's diagonal bracing is intact. Check that all fixings are tightened.

Wood appears to be cracking or splitting

Minor surface checking is natural in timber as it expands and contracts. Ensure the gate is not in direct constant contact with excessive moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable and built for heavy-duty use.
  • Provides excellent privacy due to overlapping feather edge boards.
  • Strong and stable construction with H-frame and diagonal bracing.
  • Manufactured in the UK with quality craftsmanship.
  • Pressure-treated for long-term weather resistance.

Cons

  • Timber may show green flecks from treatment, which fade over time.
  • Expected natural expansion and contraction of timber in different weather conditions.
  • Requires a waiting period (6-8 weeks) before painting to allow treatment to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Installation: This gate requires appropriate gate posts and hanging hardware (not included) for secure installation. Ensure posts are firmly set in the ground.
  2. Hanging: Attach the gate to the chosen posts using suitable hinges, ensuring it swings freely without dragging.
  3. Hardware: Secure with a latch or bolt mechanism suitable for the gate's weight and intended use.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed as a pedestrian gate and is compatible with standard gate posts. Ensure your posts are robust enough to support its heavy-duty design.
  • It is suitable for openings of approximately 3ft (90cm) width.

Care:

  • Initial Treatment: Allow the timber 6-8 weeks after installation to dry before applying any paint or stain. This allows the Tanalith E treatment to fully cure.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check hinges and hardware for wear and tear. Clean the gate surface with a damp cloth as needed; avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Wood Movement: Be aware that timber naturally expands and contracts with weather changes. This is normal and does not typically affect the gate's functionality.
