Ask your QuestionAre timber infill gates with a metallic frame worthwhile? What are the pros and cons of these gates?
Asked by June on 25th May 2022"Hello, the wood gets wet from the rain and over the years it changes, the steel shrinks instead so long as it is painted it does not rust and I consider it to be longer"
Answered on 25th May 2022 - Member since Nov 2021 - report"Metal gate will be very strong and will never change its shape unlike timber. Timber infill will give it a good look - so I would say it is a good choice.
Bear in mind that metal get rusty. Please use powder coating or good metal paint."
"Having made and fitted these types of gates I can say they are worthwhile as long as the steel is coated properly they can last for years they can be very secure with a good thickness of wood and as long as the wood is varnished it'll hold out the only con I can think of is really the wood and that's because it's softer than steel. Hope this helps you"
