Lattice Top Tongue & Groove Gate

Lattice top tongue & groove gate

Lattice top tongue & groove gate designed to provide a strong, attractive, and practical access solution for gardens and side entrances. Combining solid tongue and groove boarding with a decorative lattice top, this gate offers privacy at lower level while allowing light through the upper section, creating a balanced and visually appealing finish.

Constructed from softwood boards within a strong mortised framework, the lattice top tongue & groove gate is built for durability and everyday use. The mortised frame provides excellent rigidity, helping the gate retain its shape over time and reducing the risk of twisting or movement. This traditional construction method ensures reliable performance when the gate is opened and closed regularly.

The lower section of the gate features close-fitting tongue and groove boards, creating a solid and private barrier that is ideal for garden boundaries and side access points. The lattice top section adds a decorative element while maintaining airflow and light, making this gate a popular choice for properties where appearance is just as important as function.

The gate is pressure treated to protect against rot and decay, making it suitable for outdoor use in typical British weather conditions. Pressure treatment forces preservative deep into the timber, significantly extending the lifespan of the gate and reducing maintenance requirements. Over time, the timber will naturally weather in colour, but the treatment continues to protect the structure beneath.

Supplied in a standard size of 0.9 metres wide by 1.8 metres high, the lattice top tongue & groove gate is designed to suit common garden and side access openings. Please note that this gate cannot be made to measure and is supplied in this fixed size only. It is important to check opening dimensions carefully before ordering to ensure suitability.

The 1.8 metre height includes the lattice section, providing a full-height gate with an elegant upper finish. This makes it particularly suitable for garden entrances where privacy is required at lower level, but a softer, more decorative appearance is preferred at the top.

The fully framed construction provides a solid base for fitting hinges, latches, and locking hardware. When installed correctly using suitable posts and fixings, the gate offers smooth operation and dependable everyday use. As with all timber gates, correct installation and alignment play a key role in long-term performance.

Please note that the lattice top tongue & groove gate is not held in stock and must be ordered in. This means lead times may apply. Customers are advised to plan ahead and allow additional time when scheduling installation to avoid delays. Availability should always be confirmed at the time of ordering.

Although the gate is supplied pressure treated, some customers may choose to apply an additional stain or paint finish once installed. This can help match surrounding fencing or add further surface protection. Any additional treatment should be suitable for pressure-treated timber.

The lattice top tongue & groove gate can be used with timber or concrete gate posts and works well as part of a new fencing project or as a replacement for an existing gate. Its combination of solid boarding and decorative lattice makes it a versatile option that complements a wide range of fencing styles.

If you’re looking for a timber gate that combines strength, privacy, and decorative appeal, the lattice top tongue & groove gate is a dependable choice. With its mortised framework, pressure-treated protection, fixed standard size, and non-stock status, it provides a reliable and attractive solution for garden access applications.

The lattice top tongue & groove gate is well suited to both modern and traditional garden settings, offering a balance of privacy and visual interest. The solid lower section provides security, while the lattice top softens the overall appearance and helps the gate blend naturally with surrounding fencing and planting.
