Overview

The Timber Cover Strip Pack (2 Metres) is the ultimate finishing touch for any premium gate or fencing installation. When hanging double timber driveway gates or side entry panels, a small physical gap must be left between the meeting styles to allow the wood to swell safely during damp winter months without binding. However, this gap compromises your privacy and allows wind to whistle through.

This pack of premium timber cover strips solves the issue beautifully. By face-fixing a strip to the leading edge of one gate leaf, it creates an elegant overlapping rebate that seals out drafts, blocks prying eyes, and acts as a natural door stop.

Key Features

  • Premium European Redwood/Whitewood: Sourced from sustainably managed forests and precision-planed for a smooth, splinter-free tactile finish.

  • Deep Tanalith-E Treatment: Pressure-treated to ensure the preservative sinks deep into the wood grain, eliminating the need for immediate painting or staining.

  • Warp-Resistant Profile: Kiln-dried prior to treatment to minimize the natural twisting, splitting, or cupping risks associated with thin outdoor timber strips.

  • Multi-Purpose Practicality: Easily cut down to size to use as fencing cover laths, timber arris rail repairs, or decorative external cladding trim.

Installation Tip

Pro Tip: When installing these strips as a vertical closing trim on a pair of double gates, only screw the strip onto the “active” gate leaf (the side you open first). Let the strip overlap the “passive” leaf by roughly 15mm to 20mm. This forms a perfect weather-shield rebate. Always use stainless steel or high-quality exterior wood screws to prevent unsightly black chemical tanin stains from running down the timber face over time.

Commonly known as a slam strip or closing rail, these premium pressure-treated timber laths are designed to create a solid mechanical rebound buffer on your gate posts or door frames. They prevent gates from swinging backward past their intended closure line, shielding your hardware from high-wind leverage.

  • Hinge & Latch Protection: Absorbs the force of slamming gates, drastically extending the lifespan of your hinges and lock receivers.

  • Eliminates Light & Sight Gaps: Acts as a natural vertical rebate to seal out drafts and block the direct line of sight between the gate and the frame.

  • Pressure-Treated Tanalith-E Core: Deeply infused with industry-leading preservative to guarantee long-term defense against rot, fungal attacks, and damp outdoor exposure.

  • Convenient 2-Metre Height: Cleanly accommodates tall pedestrian side entry gates, courtyard doors, outbuildings, and workshops.

]]> Timber Gate Door Stop Pack 2 Metres – Wooden Gate & Door Stop Strip

Overview

Leaving an outdoor garden or side gate free to swing without a physical backstop is one of the leading causes of gate failure. When high winds catch a timber panel, the kinetic force can rip horizontal latches out of their screws, twist lock casings, and fracture the rear hinge knuckles. The Timber Gate & Door Stop Pack (2 Metres) offers a straightforward, professional trade solution.

By fixing these planed wooden slam strips vertically along the inside of your receiving post or wall plate, you create a seamless, integrated frame rebate. The gate leaf brings its weight flush against the entire length of the timber stop rather than focusing all its impact energy onto a single metal latch point.

Key Features

  • Premium Planed All Round (PAR) Timber: Machined cleanly for a smooth finish with slightly eased edges to match high-end garden gates and architectural fencing.

  • Impact Load Distribution: Spreads structural closing shock evenly across the full height of your gate post rather than stressing individual fixings.

  • Anti-Rattle Buffer Zone: Provides a firm surface to pull your gate latch flush against, completely eliminating irritating wind rattling during winter gales.

  • Pack of Two Versatility: Generous dual-strip pack allows you to create a matching double rebate on a pair of frames or secure multiple single gates across your property.

Installation Tip

Pro Tip: For a perfectly tuned fit, always hang your gate first and ensure it is fully latched shut. Position the timber stop strip flat against the post, pushing it firmly up until it rests gently flush against the indoor face of the closed gate leaf. Secure it into the post using high-quality exterior wood screws spaced every $300\text{mm}$ to $400\text{mm}$. For whisper-quiet operation, you can apply a strip of self-adhesive outdoor rubber foam tape down the face of the timber stop to act as a silent bumper.
