900 x 900 picket gate manufactured to provide a practical, durable, and traditional solution for garden entrances, front boundaries, and pathway access. Measuring approximately 900mm x 900mm (35½” x 35½”), this gate is designed to complement picket fencing while offering reliable everyday access and a classic appearance.
Each 900 x 900 picket gate is constructed using vertical timber pickets fixed to a solid rear frame. The timber is fully pressure treated through a tanalisation process, providing protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. This treatment makes the gate suitable for long-term outdoor use and helps extend its lifespan with minimal ongoing maintenance.
The gate is built using a ledged and braced construction on the rear. Horizontal ledges provide strength across the width of the gate, while the diagonal brace helps prevent sagging and movement over time. This traditional method of construction is widely used for timber gates and ensures the gate remains stable and aligned when installed correctly.
Picket gates are well known for their open and welcoming appearance. The evenly spaced vertical pickets allow light and visibility through the gate, making them particularly suitable for front gardens, pathways, and decorative boundaries where privacy is not the primary concern. This open design helps maintain an inviting feel while still providing a clear boundary and controlled access.
The square 900mm x 900mm size makes this picket gate ideal for pedestrian access points. It is commonly used at the entrance to front gardens, along pathways, or as part of a low-level boundary fence. Its compact size makes it easy to operate while still providing a strong and well-supported structure.
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, allowing the diagonal brace to function as intended and helping prevent sagging over time. Correct hinge orientation is essential for smooth operation and long-term durability.
This picket gate can be hung between timber posts or used with suitable concrete or steel posts when appropriate fixings are selected. The lightweight nature of the gate allows it to operate smoothly on standard gate hinges while still maintaining strength and stability.
For best results, the gate should be installed with adequate ground clearance to allow for drainage and seasonal movement. Posts should be securely set and remain plumb, as correct installation plays a key role in ensuring the gate opens and closes smoothly and remains aligned over time.
The natural timber finish allows the gate to blend seamlessly with matching picket fencing panels and other garden features. It can be left to weather naturally or finished with a suitable exterior paint or stain if a specific colour or appearance is desired. Any additional finishes should be compatible with pressure-treated timber to maintain the effectiveness of the tanalisation.
This 900 x 900 picket gate is suitable for both domestic and light trade use. It can be supplied as part of a new picket fencing installation or used as a replacement gate where an existing access point needs upgrading. Its traditional design makes it suitable for a wide range of property styles, from period homes to modern developments.
The gate offers a practical balance between appearance and function. Its ledged and braced construction provides dependable structural support, while the picket design maintains an open and attractive look that enhances the overall character of the fence line.
Picket gates remain a popular choice for front gardens and decorative fencing due to their timeless style and ease of use. They provide a clear boundary without creating a closed or imposing appearance, making them ideal for spaces where visibility and accessibility are important.
If you are looking for a compact timber gate that complements picket fencing and provides reliable everyday access, the 900 x 900 picket gate offers a dependable solution.
