Why Chigwell Electric Gates
Timber gates fail when wood rots in wet weather, warps from seasonal exposure, or strains motors from excessive weight — protective treatment and hardwood selection prevent these failures.
Untreated timber absorbs moisture, causing rot, warping, and gate misalignment within two seasons
Oversized wooden gates exceed actuator weight limits, leading to motor burnout and failed automation
Unprotected timber loses natural finish from UV and rain, requiring frequent re-treatment or replacement
Oak and iroko timber naturally resist rot and insect damage, lasting 20+ years with proper sealing
Multi-coat treatment applied to all timber surfaces before actuators installed, preventing moisture ingress
