Tongue & Groove Gate: A Smooth Finished Gate from Our Joiners Shop

If you’re searching for a reliable, aesthetically pleasing gate that stands up to weather and time, a Tongue & Groove Gate from our joiners shop is an excellent choice. Crafted with precision and finished to endure the British climate, these gates combine classic timber charm with modern durability. In this post, we’ll explore what makes a Tongue & Groove Gate a smart investment for your property and garden, and how Empress Fencing Clitheroe can help you get exactly what you need.

Why choose a Tongue & Groove Gate?

Tongue & groove gates have long been favored for their strength and clean, seamless appearance. The interlocking boards create a sturdy panel that resists warping and provides a smooth exterior finish. When designed and built by skilled joiners, these gates offer:

• A tight, weather-resistant fit due to the tongue and groove joints
• A polished, uniform look from top to bottom
• Enhanced privacy and security without compromising style
• Long-term durability, especially when timber is properly treated

Our Tongue & Groove Gate is shaped to your specifications, ensuring it fits perfectly in your driveway or garden entrance.

Timber choice and treatment

Timber is the heart of any quality gate. We offer softwood options, specifically whitewood, prized for its balance of light weight, workability, and cost-effectiveness. To help you get the most from your investment, we provide pressure-treated timber to resist rot, fungi, and insect attack.

• Timber: Softwood / Whitewood
• Treatment: Pressure-treated to extend life and reduce maintenance
• Finish: Pressure-treated timber arrives ready for installation with protection against the elements

Choosing pressure-treated timber means your gate is better prepared to withstand wet winters, damp summers, and general wear and tear, allowing you to enjoy a gate that looks great for years to come.

Custom sizes: made to order

One of the strengths of a Tongue & Groove Gate from our joiners shop is the ability to tailor it to your exact needs. We can create gates in any size, with options for flat top or arched profiles to suit your property’s architectural style.

• Size: Any size made to order
• Top profile: Flat top or arched
• Width and height tailored to your entrance, driveway, or garden boundary

If you have a specific opening width or desired gate height, share those measurements with us, and we’ll craft a gate that fits precisely.

Practical example: a standard size option

As a practical reference, consider our guide price for a common specification:

• Gate type: Tongue & Groove Gate
• Size: 3 feet wide x 6 feet high
• Timber: Whitewood treated
• Finish: Pressure-treated
• Price: £98.00 + VAT

This example provides a baseline for budgeting while highlighting how a ready-made, treated Tongue & Groove Gate can be a cost-effective solution. Remember, we can adjust dimensions and styles to match your site requirements, and prices will reflect any changes in size or finish.

Installation considerations and maintenance

A well-made Tongue & Groove Gate is only part of the equation. Proper installation and a simple maintenance routine will maximize longevity.

• Installation: Ensure hinges are rated for outdoor use and can support the gate’s weight. Align the gate properly to avoid binding.
• Finish: Pressure-treated timber may not require immediate painting, but applying a protective seal or stain after installation can help sustain color and reduce weathering.
• Maintenance: Periodically check for loose fittings, tighten screws, and inspect for any signs of decay or damage at the frame.

If you’re unsure about installation, our team at Empress Fencing Clitheroe can advise on best practices or arrange installation services to ensure your Tongue & Groove Gate operates smoothly.
