How do you warranty timber gates?
All timber gates are made from what was once a living thing. Mother nature made it and all man could do is chop it down, cut it up, store it, treat it and make something out of it.
So all we can do as man, is guarantee the bit we do. Assemble it into something and take some responsibility for where we put it, and how it is looked after.
Surely then; Mother nature would have to guarantee the natural material, as she is the only one that truly can.
This is why we have to remind customers that we can not accepted responsibility for the inherent issues associated with the use of timber products, especially out doors or where external forces have an influence upon it.

Timber gate systems or Metal electric gate systems have benefits as well as disadvantages that sometimes go and other times arrive or stay. Making the best choice may need to have a compromise between what looks best and what lasts longer.
