Quality
Extra care and attention are taken when manufacturing our wooden products to minimise the
effects of being a natural material and therefore minimizing susceptibility to movement due to
the environment in which they are used once they leave Made To Measure Wooden Gates Ltd.
We maintain high standards of longevity by using mortise, tenon and dowel joints on our frames
and then polyurethane glue to maximize strength and leave an allowance for the board to move
by leaving a rebate; this, along with using premium grade timbers extensively, helps reduce any
movements.
Timber is a natural product and consequently vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature
and weather conditions. There may be shape fluctuation in hot or wet weather; these can but
are not guaranteed to reverse when the weather returns. Also, please be aware that timber
posts can distort in some cases but also can but not guaranteed to return to shape when the
weather returns. Timber can split, warp, shrink, bow & twist but will not alter the structural
strength of the gate/gates or posts. Made To Measure Wooden Gates Ltd cannot prevent natural
warping, shrinking, bowing, twisting, splitting, mound, blue spots and any other movement once
the product has been accepted. Made to Measure Wooden Gates offer no reimbursement for
issues of this kind.
Wooden gates that are treated are to be maintained thereafter by the customer as the treatment
will need recoating during the gate/gates lifetime. Made to Measure Wooden gates Ltd cannot
cover any maltreatment of the gates.
We recommend that you treat your gates within four weeks of receiving them when they have
been climatized to the environment; Made To Measure Wooden Gates Ltd cannot be held liable
for any wood rot or mould due to a direct result of neglect. So we recommend you treat your
gates regularly; this includes gates treated by ourselves. You should maintain a good level of
protection for all of our products. Made To Measure Wooden Gates Ltd are not liable for bowing,
shrinking, twisting, moving, splitting, expansion or contraction caused and will not cover any
ensuing costs as a result of this.
