Benefits of Hardwood Gates:
Using iroko hardwood for a gate offers several benefits, including:
1. Durability & Longevity
- Iroko is a dense and strong hardwood, making it highly resistant to wear and tear.
- It has a long lifespan and can withstand outdoor conditions for decades with minimal maintenance.
2. Natural Weather Resistance
- Iroko has natural oils that protect it from moisture, reducing the risk of rot and decay.
- It can endure harsh weather conditions, including rain, sun, and frost, without warping or splitting easily.
3. Pest & Fungal Resistance
- This hardwood is naturally resistant to insect attacks (such as termites) and fungal growth, making it an excellent choice for exterior use.
4. Low Maintenance
- Unlike softwoods that require frequent staining or sealing, iroko weathers well over time, developing a silver-grey patina if left untreated.
- Regular oiling or sealing can help maintain its rich golden-brown color.
5. Attractive Appearance
- Iroko has a warm, golden to dark brown color with an appealing grain pattern that enhances the aesthetics of a gate.
- Its natural beauty complements traditional and modern gate designs.
6. Workability & Stability
- Iroko is relatively easy to work with compared to other dense hardwoods.
- It is stable and does not expand or contract excessively with temperature and humidity changes, reducing the risk of warping.
7. Eco-Friendliness
- It is often considered a sustainable alternative to teak, as it is more readily available and harvested responsibly.
8. Security & Strength
- Due to its density and toughness, an iroko gate provides a strong and secure barrier, adding to home security.
