21st Birthday for National Trust Gate

Here at Jacksons we are proud of our accredited Jakcure preservation process and confidently offer our 25-year guarantee against all wood-boring pests and all forms of wet and dry rot. 

We enjoy hearing stories of installs from years gone by, so when National Trust Ranger, Phil, tweeted us regarding a Jacksons gate turning 21, we asked him to share this celebration with us.  

Thurstaston Common and Royden Park consist of a large area of heath and woodland on the Wirral Peninsula. The site is jointly owned by Wirral Borough Council and The National Trust and managed by Wirral Rangers.
Thurstaston is a popular spot with walkers for the superb views, at just 90m above sea level, it offers some of the best views the Wirral has to offer, from the summit of Thurstaston Hill the views encompass the Liverpool skyline. 

The site was previously managed solely by the local authority, and all the entrances and internal paddock fences had stile; so the rangers began a program of replacing them with Jacksons products including kissing gates and adding field gates for vehicular access. 

National Trust Quality Gate

Ranger Phil told us; ‘I think we have around 12 field gates and 12 kissing gates (approx.) I would say they are mostly between 19-23 years old. Thurstaston is open to the public all day every day and we get a lot of visitors and kids love swinging on the kissing gates or climbing over the field gates and they have all survived so far!’

"A good idea to have a "Force Majeure" clause in your contract for such work. Just as nobody would expect a patio to withstand an earth quake of significant magnitude, nor a sink hole opening up beneath it, less exciting than such unexpected events,…"

The other issue this summer has been the surrounding…"
