Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Ensure you have the necessary fixings (sold separately) and tools for assembly.
- Assembly: Follow the instructions provided to assemble the gate frame and boards. The process involves attaching the boards to the frame.
- Installation: Attach the assembled gate to the gate posts, ensuring it swings freely and aligns correctly.
Compatibility
The Forest Garden 6ft Board Gate is designed to be compatible with a 6ft close board fence panel. Make sure that your existing posts are suitable for supporting the gate's weight and dimensions.
Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the gate with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the gate for any signs of wear and tear. Re-treat the timber periodically to maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. The frequency of re-treatment depends on the local weather conditions.
