What are the timber gates made of?

The specie of wood used in the timber gates sold by Westbury Gates is Norwegian Spruce otherwise known as White Spruce. It is a slow growth plantation timber sourced from Finland. We suggest you Google the timber specie because it is widely used as a building and timber gate material in Europe and has a reputation for being light, very strong and resistant to warping or distorting. From the early days of aviation until well into the 1940’s Norwegian Spruce was widely used for making airframes for aeroplanes because of its considerable strength while also being relatively light. When used for making timber gates, Norwegian Spruce has proved itself as a durable timber which is much less heavy than timber gates made from Australian Hardwood. That is important when it comes to hanging a timber gate. It means that when hung properly our timber gates will stay in position and avoid sagging. It also means that longer timber gates can be hung allowing for much wider driveway entrances.
