Installation advice

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

Maintenance and protection

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

WoodUp Tip

What to know before buying: this straight-slat gate is delivered in 3 parcels with slats, rails, central rebate and stainless steel screws; posts, hinges, lock and automation must be sourced separately. The number of slats varies by width (9 for 3 m, 10 for 3.5 m, 12 for 4 m): choose the exact width of your opening. The flat profile of the straight slats has fewer surfaces to treat than moulded slats (ID 1234), due to the absence of mouldings.

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 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 slats create a fully opaque effect?

Yes, if the slats are laid 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 slats to absorb wood movement.

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

Yes. The Douglas straight-slat pedestrian gates 120x100 cm use the same 150x24 mm section and blend visually into a fence built with this gate.

Can this gate be installed on slightly sloped ground?

Yes. On a gentle slope (< 5%), adjustable hinges allow the leaves to be aligned. 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 optimal protection.
