British Larch/Douglas Fir Driveway Gate & Post Renovation

21st August 2024

About This Project

One of our customers bought our British Larch/Douglas Fir Swan Neck Closed Board Driveway Gates (Pair of 1665mm) in conjunction with our British Larch/Douglas Fir Gate posts (2400 x 200 x 200, Full Pyramid Top, Planed All Round) and Our Cranked Band & Hook on Plate to renovate the entrance to their driveway and property.

English Larch/Douglas Fir are both definitively regarded as the most hard wearing of all domestic softwoods. The colour of English Larch/Douglas Fir varies from deep red to pink to cream and is completely random, it adds serious character to these most adaptable of English softwoods.

Supplied untreated, the high resin content of English Larch/Douglas Fir means that they require no treatment! However if you wish to prolong the supplied colour or use a weather resistant sealant, please take a look at our Treatex Douglas Fir Protection.

Our Douglas Fir/English Larch Gate Posts are untreated. The high resin content is what gives the material its natural durability, however treatment can be applied should you require additional protection from the elements or to maintain the colour that little while longer. Taking good care of wood in exterior applications is of paramount importance as it not only provides protection, but it will also enhance its natural beauty and feel. By protecting it from the elements you’ll also be increasing its resistance against rot, decay and insect attack.
