Description
A 2m antique oak tone composite gate board, 148mm wide and 21mm thick, for gates and screens where you want the pale, natural look of white oak rather than a grey or a dark brown. The colour is a light sandy grey-brown with fine straight streaks, close to weathered white oak. It is the most natural looking pale option here, and it keeps a garden or lodge setting from feeling hard-edged. Sold per board, minimum order 2. The boards interlock edge to edge, tongue into groove, to give a solid face with a 140mm cover per course. Both faces are finished the same, so your neighbour or the street sees exactly what you see.
Why fit composite boards
A sealed skin on all four sides
The outer shield is co-extruded around the core while the board is made, rather than glued on afterwards, so it covers the two faces and both edges in one skin. It gives high resistance to fading, staining, mould, cracking, cupping and swelling. Older uncapped composites can take in water through their faces, and that is the fault capping is there to stop.
No painting, no staining, no splinters
A timber gate needs treating every few years or it greys and starts to move. This board never needs painting or staining, is UV resistant and will not rot or split. It is also splinter free, which matters on gates people push open by hand. It still needs an occasional wash, because outdoor grime sits on any surface.
Made largely from recycled material
The core blends recycled material with hardwood and softwood fibres. The board is 95% recycled material and is itself recyclable.
Where it is used
Holiday parks and lodge sites, boutique hotels, garden centres and rural offices suit this colour, along with stone, timber cladding and soft planting. Boards work horizontally between posts as fence infill, or vertically or horizontally on a steel gate frame. Slim black posts give it a clean modern outline, and anthracite posts look a little softer.

How many boards do you need?
Each course covers 140mm, so divide the height by 140 and round up. One 2m board spans a 2m bay.
| Height of a 2m bay | Boards |
|---|---|
| 1200mm | 9 |
| 1500mm | 11 |
| 1800mm | 13 |
| 2000mm | 15 |
For boards fitted vertically on a gate, divide the gate width by 140 and round up: a 900mm gate takes 7 boards, and a 2m long board can be cut to the gate height.
Choosing the right board and fittings
Pick antique if you want a pale, muted oak tone. Choose teak if you want a warmer, deeper hardwood colour. All the boards here share the same 148 x 21mm size and 2m length, so they fit the same posts.

|---|---|
| Another colour or finish | Embossed Anthracite Grey, Ebony Black, Light Grey, Teak, Anthracite Grey, Embossed Ebony Black, Embossed Light Grey |
| A post for a fence run, set in concrete or cut down | 2350mm black aluminium post |
| A top and bottom rail for a 2m bay | black 2000mm rail kit |
| A neat finish where the post meets the ground | black post base cover |
| A clean way to cut the boards | 255mm, 100 tooth carbide tipped saw blade |
Installation and care
Cut with a sharp tungsten carbide tipped blade of 80 teeth or more, since a blunt or coarse blade leaves ragged edges. Seal every cut end with a suitable sealant, because the cut exposes the core and it is the one place the board can still swell. Allow a little room at the ends, as composite moves slightly with temperature. To clean, wash with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one board or a pack?
The price is for one 2m board. The minimum order is 2 boards. Use the table above to work out your quantity.
Do I need to treat or paint the boards?
No. They never need painting or staining. Give them an occasional wash to clear outdoor grime, and seal any ends that you cut.
Can I cut them to length?
Yes. Use a carbide tipped blade with 80 teeth or more, and put sealant on every cut end to stop the core taking in moisture.
Can I hang them on a steel gate frame?
Yes, vertically or horizontally. The fixing depends on your frame, and a maximum span between supports is not published for this line, so call us if your frame has wide gaps between its rails.
