Wood vs Metal – which one suits you…
At Gates and Fences UK, you’ll find an array of gates in both premium-grade wood and high-quality metal, each offering unique benefits. One of the first considerations in picking the perfect gate is deciding on the material that will serve you best. Wooden Gates
- Natural Aesthetic: Timber gates effortlessly blend into countryside surroundings, providing a warm and traditional feel that complements the UK’s diverse rural landscapes.
- Versatility: Wood can be stained, painted, or carved to suit any style, from rustic traditional to more modern farmhouse.
- Durability: Contrary to popular belief, quality wooden gates made from hardwoods like Iroko or softwoods such as Scandinavian Redwood (when properly treated) can last for many years, even in damp British climates.
- Maintenance: Wooden gates require periodic treatment to protect against rot, pests, and weathering. However, the effort invested ensures they remain sturdy, secure, and beautiful over time.
