Smart and Smooth – The Town Tongue and Groove Gate

Looking for a tongue and groove gate that combines strength, style, and minimal maintenance? The Town Gate ticks all the boxes. Made using the traditional tongue and groove joinery, this gate offers a clean, seamless finish that’s ideal for any garden, side path, or outdoor entrance way.

The design isn’t just about looks. The tongue and groove structure creates a tight interlocking fit between boards, meaning no unsightly gaps and a gate that can stand up to the outdoor environment. Each board is fixed securely to a solid timber frame using corrosive resistant fixings, and strengthened further with diagonal bracing to reduce any sagging over time.

Made from softwood timber and pressure treated with a copper-based solution (except the 6′ x 6′ version – which is untreated), this gate is designed to resist rot and weathering – cutting down on the need for frequent upkeep. A quick retreat after a couple of years and it’ll be good to go for many more.

It works brilliantly as a standalone gate at the side of a house, or as part of a larger fence panel setup. Either way, it’ll hold its own both structurally and visually.

Our selection of tongue and groove gates are universal excluding the 4′ wide gates which have a left handed and right handed alternative. The difference between the handed versions is the angle the bracing is setup. The thinner versions of this gate have a universal V shaped brace, allowing the gate to be hung from either side while maintaining the support, no matter the side the hinges are installed.

Key Points About the Tongue and Groove Gate:

• Solid tongue and groove gate for strength and privacy.
• Strong timber frame and diagonal bracing for durability.
• Pressure treated timber (excluding 6′ x 6′ size) for long-term use.
• Rust resistant fixings.
• Matches with tongue and groove fence panels or standalone.

It is strongly recommended to fit two Brenton Bolts on the gate. One on the top and one on the bottom of the gate to reduce warping when closed.

Please note: Timber is a natural product. Finishes and sizes may vary from illustration and description. While every care is taken to provide you the best material, with it being natural it can move, split, warp, twist, swell and shrink.

*Please note, the 6′ x 6′ Town Gate is not treated. The other variations of this gate are pressure treated.
