Why Choose Iroko for Hardwood Gates?

When it comes to selecting the best hardwood for gates, iroko is in a class of its own.

  • Exceptional Durability – Naturally resistant to moisture, decay, and insects
  • Ideal for Outdoor Use – Commonly used in demanding environments such as boat building
  • Low Maintenance (Compared to Other Hardwoods) – Requires oiling to maintain its golden tone
  • Distinctive Appearance – Rich golden-brown colour that weathers beautifully over time

At Crocketts Gates, all our iroko wood gates are treated with a base coat of teak oil with UV filters. This enhances the natural grain and protects your gate while delivering a truly unique finish.
