The steel frame provides the necessary strength and stiffness to support the attachment of gate automation.

Why do we use Western Red Cedar ?
Quite simply for its natural beauty, durability and stability !
Western Red Cedar is amongst the world's most durable woods
Properly finished, Western Red Cedar will last for decades, even in harsh environments.
Its natural resistance to moisture and decay make it the ideal choice where it
is exposed to sun, rain, heat and cold all year round.
Western Red Cedar is more stable than most softwoods
Western Red Cedar has low density and shrinkage factors and lies flat, stays straight, and holds fastenings tightly.
Western Red Cedar is sourced from sustainably managed forests
Our timber supplier confirms that the mill which produced this material (imported from British Columbia in Canada)
is registered under the PEFC to provide this assurance.
