It suits farmers, smallholders, estate managers, landscapers and homeowners who want a working timber gate rather than a decorative one. Each gate is made in the UK from sustainably sourced softwood, green pressure treated against rot and decay, with a planed finish. It stands 1.2m (4ft) high, comes in six lengths from 3ft to 12ft, and hangs left- or right-hand. Hinges, latches and posts are sold separately, so plan the full set before you dig the first post hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressure treated softwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen pressure treatment protects the timber against rot and decay, the usual failure point for a gate standing close to wet ground and long grass. Life expectancy is up to 15 years; how close you get depends on exposure, drainage around the posts and how hard the gate is worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDiamond bracing and substantial stiles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe diagonal diamond bracing carries the weight of the bars back towards the hinge post. On a long gate that matters: load not returned to the hinge side pulls the closing end down, and a sagging gate drags, binds and stops latching. Two substantial stiles, one at either end, give strength where the hinges are fixed and where the latch takes daily knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUniversal hanging and galvanised fixings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the gate is symmetrical, you decide left- or right-hand on site, not at the order stage.

Match the hinges to the length: 3ft, 4ft and 6ft gates take 450mm (18in) hinges; 8ft, 10ft and 12ft gates take 600mm (24in) hinges.

Gates should open inward towards your property.

Mark the hinge positions with the gate swing and ground clearance in mind, and set the shutting post at the right distance for the gate width and latch.
