Why choose pine?
If you’re after a solution that’s durable, attractive and won’t break the bank, pine might just be the material you’ve been looking for.
Pine is a versatile softwood known for its strength and unique elasticity, which means it resists warping and shrinking even in the unpredictable UK weather. It’s an excellent alternative to pricier hardwoods such as oak, giving you a smart, cost-effective option for your next garden gate or garage door.
A Natural Touch of Character
Pine is easily recognisable thanks to its delicate yellow hue (despite being a redwood), distinctive knots and charming growth rings. Whether you’re going for a classic timber gate to finish off your garden or want to add a traditional touch to your home with a pair of framed, ledged and braced wooden garage doors, the natural character of pine can bring warmth and authenticity to your period property where metal garage doors don’t quite cut the mustard.
That’s not to say they don’t suit modern homes too of course. The great thing about pine is how easy it is to personalise, if you want a pink garage door… go for it!
With a variety of sizes and styles to choose from, whether its an arched pine gate for the side of your home or quaint farmhouse style garden gate, you can quickly and easily update the security and personality of any entrance.

Timber Garage Doors & Garden Gates FAQs
How does the durability of pine compare to other materials like oak?
Pine is a charming and versatile softwood known for its unique blend of strength and flexibility. This natural flexibility helps pine resist warping and cracking, even when faced with the inevitable stresses of everyday use and harsh weather conditions.
While it’s not as dense as some hardwoods, pine’s lightness and ease of use make it a favourite for trades people and DIY enthusiasts. Its delicate colour, distinctive knots and growth rings add character, making it a delight to work with and a popular choice for a wide range of projects.
In contrast, oak is a dense, robust hardwood celebrated for its timeless durability and strength. Oak’s natural hardness makes it ideal for high-traffic or heavy-duty applications, although this also means it can be quite a bit heavier and more challenging to use, with an often substantially higher price tag.
Ultimately, while oak stands out for its inherent toughness, pine offers a wonderful balance of durability, workability and cost-effectiveness – proving that with the right care, this underdog of the wood world can hold its own against the more traditionally prized hardwoods.
What maintenance do pine garden gates and pine garage doors require?
Much like any other external wooden door, pine garden gates and pine garage doors are relatively low-maintenance, but giving them a bit of regular TLC will keep them looking their best for many years.
Since pine is a softwood, it’s a good idea to clean them annually with a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or debris that might accumulate. After cleaning, applying a high-quality wood preservative, stain or paint to protect it and help shield the wood from moisture, UV rays and the occasional downpour – essential in our unpredictable climate.
It’s also smart to inspect your external gates and doors periodically for any signs of wear, such as loose fittings and hardware or minor cracks. Tighten any screws or hinges as needed and consider reapplying your protective coating every 2-3 years to maintain integrity. With these simple steps, you can ensure the pine remains as sturdy and attractive as the day it was installed.
What are the best treatments to preserve pine?
To best preserve the look and integrity of pine, start by giving it a good clean using a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or debris. Once the wood is dry, applying a high-quality wood preservative is key. Look for treatments that combine protection against moisture with UV inhibitors, as this will help prevent fading and degradation from the sun as well as from water penetrating the core of the wooden gate.
For those who want to enhance the natural look of a wooden gate rather than paint it, a clear or tinted stain works wonderfully – oil-based options tend to penetrate deeply for long-lasting protection, while water-based finishes offer quicker drying times and easier clean-up.
Can I install wooden garage doors myself?
While it’s certainly possible for a handy homeowner to install wooden garage doors themselves, they are somewhat more complex than wooden gates and it’s important to weigh up the benefits against the challenges.
Timber gates and garage doors can be heavier and more complex to fit than some modern alternatives, so if you’re experienced with DIY projects, have the right tools and a second person on hand to help, and are comfortable following detailed installation instructions, you might enjoy the process.
Precision is key – ensuring proper alignment, sealing and safe operation is vital for longevity and safety, as well as to uphold any manufacturer guarantee.
That said, if you’re unsure about your skills or simply prefer a hassle-free experience, hiring a professional installer is a smart move. A professional can guarantee that your wooden garage door is fitted correctly, adheres to all safety standards and operates smoothly for years to come. Whether you choose to DIY or call in the experts, always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines and local building regulations to ensure the best outcome for your project.
