About our Archill Elite Garden Gate Our Archill Elite Garden Gate is manufactured from quality imported softwood and is constructed using traditional mortice and tenon joints – glued for extra strength and durability. This garden gate comes fully pressure-treated with TANALITH E. TANALITH E pressure treated timber has a long term protection against fungal and insect attack, including termites, for both in and out of ground contact, interior and exterior applications when treated to the correct end use specification. TANALITH E pressure treated timber has an initial natural green colouration. Upon external exposure, the green colour slowly weathers to a warm, honey brown and in the longer term becomes a natural silver grey. This weathering process does not indicate any loss of preservative protection. Here at Grangewood we can supply you with everything you will need to fit your gate. Our range includes hinges, latches bolts and locks all of which you can find HERE. Log Selection When using natural resources careful selection is the fundamental ingredient in creating successful products. All raw material is hand selected to suit the individual, intended components. It is vital each component is produced from the appropriate section of the log and are made from the highest quality raw material. The logs are then sawn into rectangular shapes in the ‘green mill’. Here the logs are fully saturated and the saws leave a rough surface on the wood, as some of the fibres are torn out rather than cut. If timber is to be seasoned, or dried, then this will takes place next with the removal of much of the moisture from inside the timber. Seasoned products are then machined to give smooth or shaped surfaces.
