Can tongue and groove arched gates be customised?
Yes. Many customers choose bespoke heights or widths to fit unusual openings, or add decorative finishes like paint or staining to match their fencing or garden style. Custom sizing ensures a perfect fit and better overall look.
Do these gates come with a lock or latch?
Most tongue and groove arched gates are sold without a lock, but they are designed to take standard garden gate latches and locks. You can add a thumb latch, bolt, or keyed lock depending on the level of security you want.
Will these gates warp in wet weather?
Pressure‑treated timber is more resistant to rot and moisture than untreated wood, but all timber can move slightly in very wet or dry conditions. Applying wood preservative or stain helps minimise warping and keep the gate looking good over time.
What sort of posts should I use with these gates?
For the best performance, use strong timber or concrete posts that match the height of your gate. A solid post gives a stable hinge point and prevents sagging. Concrete posts are ideal where extra strength is needed.
