Maintaining your Gates
Maintaining your Hardwood Gate is imperative to ensure they stand the test of time. With a good programme of maintenance you are guaranteed that your Hardwood Gates will look as magnificent after 10 years as they did when you first installed them.
Gates with an oiled finished will generally be oiled on site, prior to installation, with a follow up coat within 12 months of installation. We then recommend that gates be re-oiled every 12 months. This is the best method of preserving the wood and maintaining the gates to their ‘as new’ state.
Maintenance for painted gates varies and will be influenced by the gates location and situation.
For untreated raw timber finishes we recommend, at the very least, two coats of clear wood preserver to protect against rot, decay and woodworm. This will be carried out following installation and repeated annually.
