Hardwood Gates
The hardwood gates offered by Lymer Doors are provided in a variety of sizes to suit all clients. Wooden Gates are usually constructed using Oak or Iroko timber. Hardwood gates can be designed in a variety of styles to suit all decorative and style tastes and different widths of gates can be requested to suit a particular situation.
Our wooden gates are usually treated with an extra timber treatment after the gates have been erected, which ensures the gates are as protected as possible from the elements. Should you wish to automate your gates please let us know and we will ensure the bottom rail is the right thickness to support the mechanism chosen.
Hardwood Garden Gates
Once purchased and fitted, how long your hardwood garden gate will last is dependent on quite a few factors! The UK provides a problem in itself – rain or damp – it is advisable to keep your hardwood garden gates as far away from any damp as is possible.
You could always have your hardwood garden gate opening onto a concrete path, pavement or floor covering of some kind. It is best to keep the bottom of the gate away from prolonged spells in contact with grass for instance.
Another tip from Lymer Doors is to routinely paint your garden gates with a wood preserve, varnish or stain that will provide good weatherproofing and give the gates your personal touch. Stains are good for creating a dramatic colour change, but varnish is commonly used as it promotes a depth of grain and a healthy shine to your doors.
