The Carlton Flat Top Single Gate is a solid wooden gate, ideal for use at the side of the house to prevent access to your back garden. The gate is constructed from smooth planed Scandinavian Redwood which has been pressure treated for a long, maintenance free life. The front boards are a tongue and groove construction that creates a solid gate with no gaps for maximum privacy. The back of the gate has two vertical, three horizontal and two diagonal braces for improved strength and rigidity. The top of the gate is flat, with an overall height of 1800mm (71”).

It is recommended that wooden gate posts are used when installing this gate. Optional smooth sawn 75mm square pressure treated posts are available.

An optional galvanised fittings pack that includes a Ring Latch and two 18" Medium Tee Hinges is also available.

The Carlton Flat Top Single Gate is available in the following sizes:

Information about your gate

Fittings. The Carlton gates are not supplied with any fittings; however an optional fittings pack is available which includes the correct size hinges and latch for this type of gate. The fittings we have available are galvanised to prevent rust. The gate has three horizontal braces on the back of the gate. Hinges should be fitted to the top and bottom brace. In very windy locations, a third hinge can be fitted to the middle brace for extra support if required (not supplied).

Wooden Posts. Posts should be dug in approximately 60cm deep and held in place with concrete, or bolted to the wallusing masonry bolts or frame fixing screws. A small gap must be left between the post and the gate to allow for expansion of the wood.

Finish. The Carlton gates are supplied pressure treated which leaves the wood with a temporary green tint. If left to weather, the wood will fade to a silvery grey colour; however you can change the colour straight away by staining the wood using Protek Timber Eco Shield, or it can be painted after it has been allowed to weather for at least 3 months using a product compatible for use with pressure treated timber.
