Mounting a timber gate directly to a brick pillar or masonry wall can be a challenge. Fixing hinges directly into stone often results in weak connection points, crumbling mortar, and misaligned gates. The Timber Wall Plate offers a reliable trade solution. By securely anchoring this structural timber plate to the wall first using heavy masonry bolts, you create an unyielding, perfectly level wooden surface.
Once in place, your gate hinges, hook-on-plates, or latch keeps can be screwed directly into the timber plate with maximum thread engagement. This distributes the physical weight of the gate evenly across the entire surface of the wall rather than stressing individual brick courses.
Maximum Weight Distribution: Prevents localized stress fractures in brickwork by spreading the gate’s rotational load across the full length of the timber plate.
Pre-Treated Longevity: Kiln-dried and pressure-treated to ensure the preservative sinks deep into the heartwood, protecting it from moisture trapped between the timber and the masonry.
Clean, Professional Aesthetic: Features clean, planed faces and slightly rounded corners, ensuring it looks like an intentional architectural feature rather than a rough piece of construction lumber.
Versatile Fencing Terminal: The perfect solution for starting or cleanly finishing a run of closeboard or panel fencing flush against a house wall or garage.

Pro Tip: When mounting your timber wall plate to a brick wall, never fix your anchors into the mortar lines—always drill directly into the center of the bricks for maximum structural integrity. Use a spirit level to ensure the plate is perfectly plumb. To maximize the life of the timber, apply a thin bead of exterior silicone sealant down the back vertical edges of the plate before bolting it down; this prevents rainwater from pooling in the hidden gap between the wood and the brickwork.
