Solid Wood Gate Board 175 cm — Douglas Fir or Fir, Section 91x21 mm
This solid wood gate board measures 175 cm in length, section 91x21 mm, available in Douglas fir or natural untreated Fir. Sold individually for the construction or renovation of tall gates. Compatible with 91x21 mm rails from the Woodup range. An exterior water-repellent treatment is essential before any prolonged installation, particularly on Fir. The 175 cm length is suitable for gates whose height exceeds the standard 120 cm.

Installation advice
For a 175 cm high gate: plan for 4 rails per leaf (every 40–45 cm) and a diagonal brace to counterbalance the weight and prevent warping. Pre-drill each board before screwing — at 175 cm, wood tension is greater than at 120 cm. Treat all faces and end grain before assembly. Use stainless steel screws 4x50 mm minimum for fixing to the rails.
Spacing between boards: a solid gate acts like a sail in the wind, placing significant strain on the hinges and posts. A spacing of 15 to 20 mm between boards significantly reduces mechanical stress — recommended for wide gates and windy areas. A spacing of 10 mm gives an almost fully opaque result. Beyond 25 mm, the slatted effect allows light and visibility through.
Maintenance and protection
Renew the exterior stain or oil every 2 to 3 years. Inspect the lower ends annually — the bottom 15 cm of the boards accumulate the most moisture. Douglas fir naturally greys without treatment but remains mechanically stable for several years.
Frequently asked questions
Can this board be cut down to obtain a height below 175 cm?
Yes. Solid wood can be easily cut with a circular saw. Immediately treat the exposed end grain after cutting to protect the fresh cut.
How many boards are needed for a 3 m wide gate at 175 cm height?
In 91x21 mm section edge to edge: approximately 16 to 17 boards for a 1.5 m leaf in 91x21 mm section edge to edge, i.e. 32 to 34 boards for both leaves. With a spacing of 15–20 mm: approximately 13 to 14 boards per leaf.
Are there Woodup kit gates at 175 cm height?
No, Woodup kit gates are offered at a height of 120 cm. For a height of 175 cm, it is necessary to build the gate yourself by combining these boards with rails and a diagonal brace.
What post section should be planned for a 175 cm gate?
For a leaf height of 175 cm, plan for posts of at least 120x120 mm anchored 80 cm into the ground, or sealed metal posts for optimum resistance to wind and weight.
Is untreated Douglas fir suitable for this length?
Yes. Douglas fir is the recommended species for greater heights, as its natural durability class 3 allows it to last several years without treatment. For Fir, initial treatment is essential to avoid accelerated deterioration.
