    It’s not, treated timber here is the worst of pure dirt. It’s no difference to me what the op uses but that timber will be starting to boast in a few years, hinges won’t stay on and any bits in contact with concrete will be in a nice state. If they are going to the bother of making it, do it right and have it finished with. The two timbers that spring to mind for most suitable is larch or teak, they aren’t that much dearer but you’ll still have a decent gate in ten or twenty years time, and it won’t be slobbered with ronseal fence life or whatever other muck that’s picked up in woodies.

    More tripe. Seriously.

    Faze, great job. It’ll last years (and I mean wayyyy more than 2 or 3)
