The photos both shows a Glemham gate with a straight side panel. This is the most economic option for a tongue and groove pedestrian gate and side panel.

The first photo shows a Glemham gate teamed up with a side panel, all in Douglas Fir. A central Douglas fir post has been used to hang the gate with a slotted concrete post on the other side of the side panel. Douglas Fir is no longer available. 

The middle photos show the same style of gate, from the front and back but in Scandinavian redwood. The opening space here was tight and so using a larger gate was not an option. Although very popular due to cost, this timber requires more on going treatment over the years.

The final photo is an Oak gate and side panel finished in Rubio Monocoat Teak.

Sapele, Iroko and seasoned European Oak are extremely durable hardwood timbers with excellent longevity. Seasoned Oak has good stability and character and is more consistent in colour than Iroko which can have variations in colour but has exceptional stability. Both Iroko and Oak timbers will naturally weather down over a period of time to a silver grey colour or can be oiled. Sapele can be oiled, stained or painted.
