good value, 04 July 2008
By irishdiyguy

"good value gate. Takes a bit of time to put together properly but not difficult to do. Essential to be treated. Good idea to treat before assembly to get tongue and grooves protected fully."

Remember, you get what you pay for, 18 May 2008
By Ghaax

Pros: cheap - in fact a bargain at the reduced price, easily adjustable to different widths/heights
Cons: cheap - as in the standard of wood

"I'm no expert but I can knock up a fence, so tackling a gate was no big deal. However the wood panels are fairly thin and were somewhat bowed. This would make it slightly hard to fit/glue together if you don't have a large flat area to work on and weights/clamps (or another pair of hands).
That said, it doesn't take long to assemble - you will need wood adhesive - and, once finished, looks pretty good for the price.
If you have little DIY experience you may find it better value to buy an assembled gate. If you like sawing and hammering then this should be an easy little project."
