Our Rathlin Elite Wooden 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 also 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 then slowly weathers to a warm, honey brown and in the longer term becomes a natural silver grey. This weathering process does not cause 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. Log Selection Carefully selecting natural resources is also crucial for creating successful products. We hand-select all raw materials to match their intended components. Producing each component from the appropriate section of the log and using the highest quality raw materials is vital. Next, we then saw the logs into rectangular shapes in the ‘green mill.’ The saws leave a rough surface on the wood, tearing out some fibers instead of cutting them. If we need to season the timber, we athen remove much of the moisture next. Finally, we also machine seasoned products to give them smooth or shaped surfaces. Helping to maintain ‘Forests For All Forever’ The global benchmark for responsible forest management, The FSC logo identifies products which contain wood from well-managed forests.
