Landscaping & External Works New Pocket Commercial Landscaping Directory from Charcon Plaswood launches gates to complement extensive fencing range Plaswood has launched a range of gates to complement its existing range of environmentally friendly fencing products. Made from 100% recycled plastic, Plaswood gates offer a smart, stylish and green alternative to traditional timber gates. Unlike timber, Plaswood is impervious to the influence of water or damp and therefore will not rot, splinter, crack or degrade with age, offering a maintenance free alternative to timber products. Available in jet black and earth brown the single and double gates come with a galvanized frame, along with steel posts allowing the gates to be set directly in to the ground. The gates can be finished with flat, round, chamfered or pointed tops and supplied with a locking system and access from both sides or inside only for increased security.
