Iroko - Our Hardwood Garden Gate Timber
Extensive searching, research and development led us to select Iroko as the hardwood for all of our solid wood gates. This impressive natural material combines hard-wearing durability and a striking aesthetic in one great timber.
Let’s get to know this hardwood hero.
Iroko is nicknamed ‘African Teak’ as it looks strikingly similar to Teak. The big difference between Iroko and Teak is Iroko’s hugely enhanced endurance to the elements. Not only is it resistant to fading from UV light but also from rain, making it the perfect choice for withstanding the changeable British weather.
If you want a hardwood garden gate that looks great for years to come with minimal maintenance, an Iroko gate from Stellar Gates is your best bet.
Beautiful Natural Colouring, Customised to Your Taste
The light brown colouring of our Iroko hardwood gates can be stained darker or left at its natural colour level with a clear wax or varnish. Purchase high-quality Treatex wood oil in a variety of shades to achieve your desired hue. Left untreated the colour will dim to a silver grey.
While we’d suggest using a protective layer of sealant to help your hardwood garden gate last for as long as possible, we always give our gates a protective layer of wooden gate treatment as standard. This gives an extra level of prevention against pests, rot, fungus, damp and UV rays.
Security Benefits of Our Hardwood Garden Gates
A solid hardwood gate acts as an effective security measure for your property, no matter whether it is residential or commercial. Compared to lightweight softwood, hardwood is significantly stronger, making it more difficult for intruders to force entry or break the gate. Heavy duty locks, latches, and ironmongery will also reinforce your gate against unauthorised access. A taller gate with solid panels keeps your exterior hidden from passersby, giving you complete peace of mind.
Why Choose Our Hardwood Garden Gates?
- High strength and durability: Naturally strong and resistant to wear, hardwood garden gates will not easily break under pressure or succumb to harsh weather conditions. You should not experience any warping, rotting, or decay for as long as your gates are standing.
- Long lasting: And good news for you – they should stand the test of time! Of course this requires proper maintenance, but if this is in place then hardwood garden gates can last for decades, making them a cost-effective choice.
- Highly secure: They provide unbeatable protection against break-ins and intruders, offering complete peace of mind.
- Aesthetically appealing: Adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your property, enhancing kerb appeal and the overall aura of your property.
- Customisable finish: A garden gate crafted with hardwood can be stained, painted, or carved to suit your style and match your home’s aesthetic.
Why Choose a Hardwood Garden Gate Over Metal or Composite?
Unlike metal gates, hardwood gates offer a warmer, more inviting aesthetic that blends naturally with gardens and period properties. Metal gates give off an industrial vibe that is perhaps more suited to applications such as service garage doors or perimeter security fences. Metal gates can also rust over time, whereas hardwood is naturally resistant to the elements.
Composite gates are made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic. They can mimic the look of natural wood but with the added advantage of being completely resistant to rot, warping, and insect damage without treatment or maintenance. However, they most definitely lack the authentic charm and timeless elegance of a garden gate hardwood made. In addition to this, hardwood can be restored and refinished over time, whereas composite materials tend to degrade without options to repair or restore.
How to Maintain Your Hardwood Garden Gate
Caring for your hardwood garden gate is simple but essential. With proper maintenance, your gate can last for decades while retaining its strength and beauty. Below you’ll find some steps on how to keep it in excellent condition
- Sealing and oiling: Apply a high quality wood oil or sealant annually to help protect against moisture, UV rays, and general wear. This will keep your hardwood garden gates in tip-top condition. Choose a UV protective oil if you want to maintain the gate’s natural hue.
- Cleaning: Dirt and debris will build up over time, that much is a given. Simply wipe down your gate with warm water and mild soap every few months to keep it looking fresh. Or have your gardener do it, if you’re posh enough to have one!
- Regular checks for damage: While Iroko hardwood is naturally resilient, regular inspections can help spot minor issues before they become an issue. Look out for loose hinges, scratches, or early signs of wear.
- Preventing fading: Maintain those rich golden tones by applying a UV blocking wood oil.
