Wooden Gate Maintenance

When to Repair vs. Replace

♻

Repair if...

Minor Cosmetic Issues

Small cracks, fading, or peeling finishes can often be resolved with a bit of sanding, staining, or paint. Regular maintenance, like reapplying protective coatings, can help revive your gate without needing a replacement.

Hardware Problems

If your gate is sagging or the hinges are rusted, it might only need a hardware update. Replacing or reinforcing hinges, latches, or other hardware can resolve many issues and restore the gate's function and stability.

Localised Damage

Damage such as a broken slat or small area of rot can often be patched or repaired, especially if the rest of the gate is in solid condition. Treating spots of rot or replacing a section of wood can extend the gate’s life.

Sentimental Value

For gates with unique or sentimental value, repair may be preferable to preserve the original craftsmanship. Restoring parts of the gate can maintain its character while improving functionality.

⚒

Replace if...

Severe Structural Damage

If the gate is severely warped, split, or rotting throughout, replacement is usually the better option. Widespread structural issues can compromise the gate's integrity, making it unsafe or unsightly.

Repeated Repairs Needed

If you’re constantly repairing the gate, it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it. Frequent repairs often indicate underlying weaknesses that will continue to worsen over time.

Outdated Design

Sometimes a gate just doesn't suit your needs or aesthetic anymore. Replacing it can bring a new look and functionality to your entrance, especially if you want to update to a different style, wood type, or finish.

Severe Weather Damage

In cases where a gate has been significantly damaged by weather (e.g. moisture, wind, or UV exposure), a replacement may be non-negotiable since repairs would only provide a temporary fix.
