Softwood Side Gates – Affordable, Stylish & Sustainable
Looking for a way to enhance your home’s privacy, security and kerb appeal? Softwood side gates are a great way to balance style, affordability and eco-friendliness. Whether you need a garden gate or a driveway gate, softwood provides the versatility and durability for a side gate that can meet your needs.
Why Choose A Softwood Side Gate?
Softwood is sourced from trees such as pine, cedar and spruce. It’s a popular material for side gates thanks to its lightweight structure, ease of installation and affordability.
This wood is an environmentally friendly choice, as softwood is a fast-growing type of tree. Its renewability and lower carbon footprint make softwood a responsible option for environmentally conscious homeowners. Softwood is less dense than hardwood, it can be incredibly durable when properly treated. Protective coatings such as stains and sealants shield the wood against moisture, pests and UV rays.
How Do You Maintain A Softwood Side Gate?
Softwood gates, when properly maintained, can last many years.
As aforementioned, protectant sealants and stainings can protect your softwood side gate from moisture and UV rays. Ensuring that this protective coating is reapplied every two to three years will maintain its durability and appearance.
To keep your gate clean, you’ll need to wash it with mild soap and water. This will remove dirt, debris and mildew.
How Does A Softwood Side Gate Compare To Other Types of Wood?
When choosing between a softwood side gate and a hardwood gate, such as an oak side gate, it’s important to consider your budget, style preferences and maintenance requirements.
Softwood is an affordable, versatile and lightweight option. It’s easy to work with and can be easily customised. You will need to maintain your softwood side gate, yet it is an excellent choice for a cost-effective and eco-friendly option.
