JB Kind External Doors

A Fresh Start for Your Outdoor Space

A tired outbuilding door or weatherworn garden gate can make the whole corner of a garden feel neglected. Replacing it can be a huge finishing touch when you’re refreshing the space, whether you’ve been tackling the planting or giving an outbuilding some attention.

JB Kind’s boarded designs suit simple, practical garden projects. Their traditional appearance works well alongside brick, timber fencing and leafy borders, while a carefully chosen paint colour helps bring everything together.

Traditional Timber, Practical Choices

The JB Kind FL&B Pine Gate is a ledged and braced design with a robust frame for added stability that’s perfect for use as a garden gate or shed door. Made from solid untreated softwood, they’re ready for the preparation and painting needed before installation.

The JB Kind L&B Pine Gate offers ledged and braced construction without the framing and is also suitable for gate or shed-door applications. Both designs are available in several sizes, so compare the dimensions with your opening before deciding which you’d prefer.

Choose the Right Garden Door for the Job

Start with where the door will be fitted. JB Kind’s softwood external door range is intended for outbuildings and other suitable unheated spaces such as garages, workshops and sheds. 

For a replacement shed door, check the condition of the existing frame as well as its dimensions. For a garden gate, consider the supporting posts, opening direction and clearance above the ground. A joiner can help confirm the size and hardware needed.

Remember to allow for suitable outdoor hardware, decorating materials and fitting when setting your budget too. If you’re unsure which design will suit your needs best, speak to our team. We’re here to help you get your project moving in the right direction.

Make The Colour Your Own

A soft green can sit beautifully against planting, while a warm cream can significantly brighten a tucked-away garden entrance. Be sure to choose your colour within a suitable exterior paint system and follow the finishing instructions supplied with your door.

Preparation matters here. The better it is, the better the final finish will be and the longer it will last. JB Kind specifies exterior waterproof paint as being the best option for their softwood boarded products, and softwood needs sealing prior to painting. Face knots, fixing holes and staple holes should be filled prior to decoration where needed too as this will help prevent resin bleed over time. As these JB Kind garden doors are supplied unfinished, it's important when choosing your garden gates that you take home finishing into consideration, it's not always a quick job but that flexibility to get it exactly how you like it is priceless.
