This garden gate is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and stylish entrance to their garden or patio. Its key benefit is the exceptional longevity and low maintenance offered by Corten steel, which develops a natural, protective rust layer. A minor caveat is that the gate arrives in its natural metal state and requires time to develop its signature rust color, or can be accelerated with a DIY solution.

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a type of metal alloy that forms a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements. This outer layer acts as a protective coating, preventing further corrosion and eliminating the need for painting or extensive maintenance.
No, the product will arrive in its natural metal color. The characteristic rusty patina will develop over time as the steel is exposed to atmospheric conditions. You can accelerate this process.
You can speed up rusting by spraying the gate with a solution of water mixed with soap and salt. This helps to create the conditions for rust to form more quickly.
The overall dimensions are 85 cm wide, 3 cm deep, and 75 cm high (W x D x H).
Yes, the adjustable width of the gate ranges from 90 cm to 92 cm to accommodate minor variations in opening size.
No, Corten steel is designed to develop its own protective rust layer, so painting or sealing is not required and generally not recommended.
No, the gate frame and posts are not included in the delivery and must be purchased separately.
Check for obstructions or misalignment of the gate within its frame. Ensure posts are plumb and secure. Adjust gate hinges if possible.
During the initial rusting period, consider placing a temporary barrier or gutter below the gate to catch runoff. Rinse surrounding surfaces frequently.
Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are present. If issues persist, consult a professional installer or contact customer support.
Corten steel develops its rust layer over time; minor variations are normal. Ensure consistent exposure to elements, or use the recommended soap/salt water solution to encourage even rusting.
Assembly: This garden gate requires assembly. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow the included instructions carefully. The gate frame and posts are not included and must be sourced separately.
Compatibility: The gate is designed to fit openings with an adjustable width of 90-92 cm. Ensure your gate posts are compatible with this size and are securely installed.
Care: Corten steel is chosen for its low maintenance. The protective rust layer forms naturally. To maintain its appearance and prevent rust runoff onto surfaces during the initial rusting phase, avoid prolonged contact with the developing rust. You can spray the gate with a mixture of soap water and salt water to potentially accelerate the rusting process. Clean the gate with a damp cloth as needed; avoid abrasive cleaners.
