Caring for Timber Gates
Treatment of new Timber
Regular maintenance of timber gates is essential to preserve their appearance and the timber itself from the damaging effects of the weather and other environmental factors. Despite this, in our experience we find that some customers do actually prefer to let their gates age naturally allowing the patina to develop on the wood. For those who prefer to preserve their investment, products such as Sikkens, Sadolin and Ronseal produce specialist treatments to ensure your timber gates look their best for many years to come.

We suggest that you visit their respective websites for more information and to locate a local stockist of their products.
The two images below illustrate the effect of the elements on a pair of timber gates left untreated for 5 years. The first image was taken immediately after installation and the second image during a service call 5 years later.
Please ensure that your gates are treated as soon after installation as feasibly possible.
