What it's used for
- Closing off side entrances and garden access points where a full-height, close-board gate is needed for privacy and security.
- Pairing with Hutton Deluxe V Joint Tongue and Groove Fence Panels to maintain a consistent boundary finish.
- Replacing ageing or warped timber gates on residential properties without requiring a full fence overhaul.
- Defining rear garden boundaries where a solid gate is preferred over a slatted or open design.
Fitting and handling
Before hanging, stand the gate upright in its intended location for 48 to 72 hours to allow the timber to acclimatise to local conditions, particularly if moving from a dry store to an exposed outdoor setting. Use a minimum of two substantial hinges rated for the gate's weight and ensure posts are set in concrete to a depth of at least 600mm for stability. Once fitted, an application of a compatible exterior wood stain or oil will help maintain the preservative treatment and extend the gate's service life.
FAQ
Is the Hutton Highgrove TGV Gate already treated, or does it need treating before installation?
The gate arrives factory pressure treated with TANALITH E preservative, which penetrates the timber rather than simply coating the surface. This provides a 15-year warranty against wood decay and insect attack. You can fit it straight from delivery, though a topcoat of exterior stain or oil is recommended for appearance and to maintain the treatment.
What size posts do I need for a 915mm wide gate?
For a single gate of this width, 100 x 100mm timber fence posts are the standard choice. Posts should be set a minimum of 600mm into the ground in concrete, with a post spacing that allows for the gate width plus hinge and latch clearance, typically around 960 to 975mm between post faces. Check with your ironmongery supplier for exact hinge and latch requirements.
Can this gate be used as part of a driveway or wider entrance?
This gate is 915mm wide, which suits a pedestrian access point rather than a vehicle entrance. For wider openings, two gates hung as a pair or a purpose-made driveway gate would be more appropriate. Hutton produce a range of matching gate sizes if your opening differs.
