1.8x .900 Shiplap Gate (71″ x 35 1/2″)

A Flat top Ledged & Brace Shiplap gate, fully tanalised and made to measure in house.

1.8 x 900 shiplap gate manufactured to provide a strong, durable, and visually clean solution for garden entrances, side access, and boundary fencing. Measuring approximately 1800mm x 900mm (71″ x 35½”), this gate offers a solid, privacy-focused design that pairs perfectly with shiplap fencing panels and contemporary garden layouts.

Each 1.8 x 900 shiplap gate is constructed using tanalised shiplap timber boards. Shiplap boards are machined with a rebated profile that allows each board to overlap neatly, creating a smooth and uniform face on the front of the gate. This design not only improves appearance but also helps shed water effectively, reducing moisture retention and improving long-term performance.

The timber used in the gate is fully pressure treated through a tanalisation process, providing protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. This treatment penetrates deep into the timber fibres, making the gate suitable for year-round outdoor use and helping extend its service life with minimal ongoing maintenance.

The gate is built using a traditional ledged and braced construction on the rear. Horizontal ledges provide strength across the width of the gate, while the diagonal brace is positioned to counteract the natural tendency of the gate to sag over time. This proven construction method is widely used for timber gates and offers reliable structural support for the shiplap boards.

Shiplap gates are particularly popular where a clean, modern appearance is required. The smooth, close-fitting boards provide excellent privacy and a more refined finish compared to open-style gates. This makes the 1.8 metre high shiplap gate ideal for side passages, garden entrances, and boundary access points where both security and appearance matter.

The 900mm width provides practical access for everyday use while maintaining a solid and well-supported structure. The gate can be used as a standalone access point or as part of a wider fencing run, matching neatly with shiplap fence panels and timber posts.

Customers must specify which side the hinges are to be fitted on, depending on whether the gate will be hung from the left or the right. This ensures the ledged and braced construction is oriented correctly for the installation, allowing the brace to work effectively and helping prevent long-term sagging. Correct hinge orientation is essential for smooth operation and durability.

This shiplap gate can be hung between timber posts or used with suitable concrete or steel posts when appropriate fixings are selected. The solid construction allows for the use of heavy-duty hinges and gate furniture, providing reliable performance when installed correctly.

For best results, the gate should be installed with sufficient ground clearance to allow for drainage and seasonal movement. Posts should be set securely and remain plumb, as correct installation plays a key role in the long-term performance and alignment of any timber gate.

The natural timber finish allows the gate to blend seamlessly with existing fencing and garden features. It can be left to weather naturally or finished with a suitable exterior paint or stain if a specific look is required. Any additional finishes should be compatible with pressure-treated timber to maintain the effectiveness of the tanalisation.

This 1.8 x 900 shiplap gate is suitable for both domestic and trade use. It can be supplied as part of a new fencing installation or used as a replacement gate where an existing access point needs upgrading. Its clean appearance makes it suitable for both modern and traditional garden designs.

The gate offers a practical balance between strength, privacy, and appearance. Its ledged and braced construction provides dependable structural support, while the shiplap boards create a solid, uniform finish that enhances the overall look of the fence line.

If you are looking for a full-height timber gate that delivers privacy, durability, and a clean finish, the 1.8 x 900 shiplap gate offers a reliable solution. Manufactured from tanalised timber with traditional ledged and braced framing, and supplied with the option to choose left or right hand hanging, it can be tailored to suit a wide range of garden access requirements.
