Installation advice

Same procedure as the moulded-board model: anchor the load-bearing posts to a minimum depth of 80 cm, assemble the leaves flat (rails then boards), fit the central stop, then hang the leaves on the hinges. Use adjustable hinges for fine-tuning after installation. Apply Douglas oil before installation to protect areas under the hardware.

Maintenance and protection

Annual exterior oil or wood stain to maintain the colour. Natural greying of Douglas fir is normal and does not affect its strength. Check the hinge adjustment and central stop alignment every spring.

Frequently asked questions

Which gate width to choose: 3 m, 3.5 m or 4 m?

Measure the clear opening between existing or planned posts. Add 5 cm of clearance on each side for leaf movement. For a 3 m clear opening: choose the 300 cm kit; for 3.5 m: 350 cm kit; for 4 m: 400 cm kit.

Do straight boards create a fully opaque effect?

Yes, if the boards are placed edge to edge without spacing. The 150 mm section creates a solid panel covering the full width. A slight expansion gap (2–3 mm) is however recommended between boards to allow for wood movement.

Can this gate be combined with a Woodup wicket gate from the same range?

Yes. The Douglas fir 120x100 cm straight-board wicket gates use the same 150x24 mm section and integrate visually into a fence built with this gate.

Can this gate be installed on a slightly sloped ground?

Yes. On a gentle slope (< 5%), adjustable hinges allow the leaf alignment to be adjusted. On a steeper slope, a staggered gate (offset to follow the slope) or a sliding gate is more suitable.

Is untreated Douglas fir suitable for a gate in a high-rainfall area?

Yes, thanks to its natural durability class 3. In areas with rainfall> 800 mm/year, double the frequency of exterior oil application (twice a year) for optimum protection.
