{"product_id":"composite-gate-board-2m-teak","title":"Composite Gate Board 2m, 148 x 21mm, Teak, Reversible, Fully Capped, for Gates and Fencing","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA 2m teak composite gate board, 148mm wide and 21mm thick, for driveway gates, entrance gates and screens where you want the warmth of hardwood without the yearly oiling.\u003c\/strong\u003e The colour is a warm, rich brown with darker fine streaks running along a straight grain. Of the colours in this range it is the closest to oiled hardwood, and it holds that look without oil, stain or varnish. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy fit composite boards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA sealed skin on all four sides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo painting, no staining, no splinters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade largely from recycled material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core blends recycled material with hardwood and softwood fibres. The board is 95% recycled material and is itself recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHotel and pub entrance gates, driveway gates on black steel frames, beer garden screens and traditional brick courtyards all suit teak. It looks particularly good against red brick and black metalwork. Boards work horizontally between posts as fence infill, or vertically or horizontally on a steel gate frame. Black posts and a black steel frame give the strongest contrast with the warm board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold as\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne board, minimum order 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000mm (2m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e148mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCover width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140mm once interlocked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCo-extruded capped wood-plastic composite, hollow chambered core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRecycled content\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFaces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReversible, the same on both sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitting direction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVertical or horizontal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 3.55kg per board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum unsupported span, fire rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot published for this line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/composite-gate-board-teak-dimension-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Dimension drawing of the teak composite gate board: 2000mm long, 148mm overall width, 140mm cover width, 21mm thick\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow many boards do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach course covers 140mm, so divide the height by 140 and round up.
