Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between an FLB and a T&G gate?

    An FLB (Framed, Ledged & Braced) gate has a visible frame with diagonal braces, offering a very strong and traditional construction. A T&G (Tongue & Groove) gate is made from interlocking vertical boards that slot together, creating a solid, private panel with a smooth, premium finish.

  • How do I measure for a new garden gate?

    To measure for a new garden gate, measure the exact opening width between your posts at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the narrowest measurement. You should allow for a small tolerance (around 10-15mm on each side) for the hinges and latch to operate freely.

  • What do I need to hang a gate?

    To hang a gate, you will need a gate hanging kit or individual components, which typically include a pair of hinges (T-hinges are common), a latch or bolt for closing, and appropriate screws or coach bolts for fixing everything securely to the gate and post.

  • Who is responsible for the garden fence? Who owns the garden fence?

    This is a very common question. There's no single rule, but responsibility for a boundary fence is often detailed in your property's title deeds, sometimes marked with a 'T' symbol on the plan. If the deeds are unclear, it's often assumed to be a shared responsibility with your neighbour, or it falls to whoever originally erected the fence. It's always best to have a friendly conversation with your neighbour before starting any work.

  • Can I paint my fence, and what should I use?

    Yes, you can. When asked how much to paint a fence, the cost is mostly your time and the price of the paint. For wooden fence panels, a dedicated fence treatment or paint is best. We are often asked, "can you use masonry paint on fences?" While you can, it's not ideal as it can crack and flake because it isn't designed for wood. Regarding the question, "can I paint both sides of my fence UK?", you should only paint your side unless you have explicit permission from your neighbour who owns the other side. You can also paint concrete fence posts, typically using masonry paint for a clean finish.
