Eagle Automation Guide to Wooden Gates
12 December 2007
To build a quality gate it is vital that the right materials are used and that skilled craftsmen carry out the construction.
Eagle only use wooden gates manufactured by qualified craftsman and leading manufactures in the UK. We mainly use 'utile' an African hardwood for gate building. It is naturally durable and stable. The timber arrives at the workshop rough sawn and kiln dried. It is then put The timber is then put “in stick” in the yard for secondary seasoning, during this period the timber will take up moisture until an optimum of 18 per cent is achieved.
Our gates are 70mm finish thick with a steel reinforced bottom rail to spread the load of an underground motor the full length of the gate, rather than an eight or twelve inch shoe.
We machine the cladding to our own unique profile to allow for any expansion and contraction. Two coats of stain are applied as standard.
All fixings are non ferrous and hammered in manually.
