Custom sizes for gates are available upon request for pricing. Please note that wood gate dimensions might fluctuate due to natural changes. The protective treatment does not guarantee against decay fully, requiring the owner to periodically check and maintain the gate. Reapplication of preservative will be necessary for longevity, depending on various factors like climate and usage. Current production time for this item is 8 weeks due to high demand. Optional posts available: The WP44S post fits only gate sizes QUD10 & QUD11.

Material Information
Pressure-treated lumber is subjected to a specialised process that significantly improves its longevity and resilience, rendering it more durable against various environmental elements. The wood is initially submerged in a potent preservative solution, following which it undergoes a rigorous vacuum application. This vacuum pressure ensures that the preservative penetrates deeply into the innermost fibres of the wood, achieving complete and uniform impregnation. Through this thorough saturation and internal treatment, the wood gains enhanced protective qualities against decay, insect infestation, and other forms of deterioration.
This treatment serves a dual purpose. It firstly shields the wood from moisture, critical in our humid environment, allowing for the outdoor placement of pressure-treated wood, including direct contact with moist earth (though it's best to prevent this when feasible). Secondly, the preservative's chemicals also defend the wood from insect damage, ensuring that insects won't damage your new garden structure.
Considering you've invested more in pressure-treated lumber for its durability and longevity, you may question the necessity of further action. It's essential to realise that while pressure treatment prevents decay from moisture, it doesn't shield the lumber entirely from weather-related wear, which isn't limited to only wet conditions.
For instance, the next time you visit a nursery, take a closer look at the heaps of pressure-treated lumber that are on display. Pay particular attention to the various planks and note that some might show signs of splitting or have become twisted out of shape. Typically, this situation arises when the wood is stored in a moist state, and thus, the pieces that are situated at the outer edge of the stack tend to dry out more rapidly when exposed to direct sunlight, resulting in such damage. This highlights the fact that these boards are suffering from the negative effects due to inconsistent drying, which emphasizes the importance of implementing preventative measures. It underscores the necessity of appropriate and adequate treatment techniques that will prevent the wood from deteriorating in this manner, ensuring that the materials maintain their structural integrity and appearance over time.
Ultimately, if pressure treated wood isn't maintained appropriately, it will still succumb to cracking and warping, rendering the additional cost for its longevity futile. After undergoing pressure treatment, our timber is methodically dried, with each piece arranged to facilitate airflow, ensuring a moisture content of 9-12%.
For tanalised structures, it's crucial to let the treated, saturated wood dry out to prevent shrinkage. After achieving the desired level of dryness, it's essential to apply a topcoat treatment to prevent moisture from re-entering the timber.
There are three primary methods for preserving pressure-treated wood: staining, sealing, or painting. Opting to oil the wood is an acceptable choice as it can impart a shiny sheen; however, this does not eliminate the need for a protective layer. Applying a protective solution such as a stain, sealant, or paint will decelerate the wood's drying out, aiding in maintaining its pliability and shape.
Sealant: Sealant is essentially a type of oil designed to halt the ongoing treatment activity in wood. Factory-treated wood continues to undergo chemical reactions until fully dry, a process that may last several months. Applying a sealant promptly provides optimal protection, with an annual reapplication recommended. Choose a sealant that includes UV defence to safeguard your furniture from sun damage.
Stain: Stain, in contrast to a sealant, infuses the wood it's applied to with colour. There are primarily two types: latex and oil-based stains, both of which are suitable for use. While staining is optional, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of your garden space and typically incorporates water-repellent properties and added UV protection, further extending your furniture's durability. It's essential to apply stain only to dry lumber, so it's advisable to wait approximately a month after acquiring your pressure-treated wood to guarantee it has thoroughly dried before proceeding with staining.
Paint: If you're considering adding a coat of paint to your wooden surface, it is a viable option to further customise its appearance. Prior to initiating the painting process, it's imperative to apply a sealant. This preparatory step is crucial for ensuring the longevity and durability of your paint job. Adhere strictly to the manufacturer's instructions present on the sealant's packaging, paying particular attention to the recommended duration of wait before embarking on the painting phase; this is typically prescribed to last a few days, if not longer, to achieve optimal adhesion and effectiveness of the sealant. Once the waiting period has elapsed, commence with the application of a high-grade, oil-based primer. This will serve as a stable foundation for the subsequent paint layers. Following the primer, proceed to apply one or two coats of a latex-based topcoat, ensuring a smooth and even coverage for a professional-looking finish to your woodwork.
Numerous wood products undergo pressurisation with protective chemicals to enhance their durability against decay and pests. This process involves infusing the wood with a preservative solution under high pressure, resulting in a characteristically greenish-blue tint. As the wood dries, some preservative may surface as green or blue speckles due to evaporating liquid, which could be mistaken for mould. The speckled appearance from pressure treatment can be left alone, as it diminishes over time. Alternatively, the speckle removal process can be expedited by either pressure washing or lightly sanding the area.
Pro Tip: Choose paints or stains labelled as moisture vapour permeable or microporous. These types of finishes prevent moisture from penetrating the wood while permitting any excess moisture to evaporate, thus allowing the wood to breathe.
At Vista, each of their structures is coated with an oil-based sealant designed to let the wood breathe while preventing moisture infiltration. For optimal protection, it should be applied annually or biannually, ideally prior to the onset of winter and again before summer. For proper application, adhere strictly to the guidelines specified on the product.
