The Torridge Gates Blog

Torridge Gates are your local experts in pressure treatment timber. We are based in Merton, North Devon, so if you’re in the local area, we’d love to show you how we can make your timber last longer with pressure treatment!

Pressure treatment is a process which enhances the protection of your timber. It begins with the unpreserved timber being placed onto a wheeled cart and wheeled into the tank (a vacuum chamber). Here, the vacuum is used to remove all the air from the cells in the timber. Once this is done, the vacuum is released, and air pressure is applied. This pressure forces the chemical preservatives deep into the wood, which then extends its longevity by decades.

At Torridge Gates, we believe that pressure treatment is one of the best ways to protect your timber from the elements, increasing its life expectancy and maintaining its aesthetic appeal. We use only the highest quality preservatives, ensuring that your timber is safe from rot and decay. We can also provide advice on how to maintain your timber so that it remains protected for years to come.

If you’re looking to protect your timber and make it last longer, contact us today. We’re here to help!

"The Rolle" is our best selling "Field Gate" made from Larch or Douglas wood they are of a very high quality using traditional joinery methods and will last for many years.

Each gate is made to your specific requirements up to 4.8 metres (16ft) long. This is truly your 5 star wooden field gate!

The customer really liked the Rolle Gate style but were concerned that their small dogs would be able to get out by going underneath. To solve this problem, we added an extra rail on the bottom of the gate to stop the dogs from making a break for freedom.

The customer is really happy with the look of the gate and the dogs are now working on other methods of escape.
