FAQs

Does the kit include the gate posts?

No, the kit includes the gate frame, composite boards, and hardware, but posts must be purchased separately.

Can I trim the width of the gate?

Yes, the composite boards can be cut to size using standard wood-working tools, though you should verify the frame integrity after adjustment.

How do I clean the gate?

Use a soft brush and warm soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers.

Is the material weather-resistant?

Yes, the composite material is designed to resist rot, warping, and fading compared to natural timber.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a drill/driver, a level, a tape measure, and a saw if you intend to customize the gate dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Gate frame appears out of square during assembly

Loosen the frame fasteners, re-align using a framing square on a flat surface, and re-tighten while ensuring the diagonal measurements are equal.

Gate hinges are squeaking or binding

Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pins and ensure the mounting screws are tightened to the gate post.

Composite boards have minor surface scratches

Use a specialized composite touch-up pen or fine-grain sanding block to gently blend the scratch into the surrounding texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete kit reduces sourcing time for individual parts
  • Highly resistant to rot and environmental decay
  • Modern, sleek grey aesthetic
  • Lightweight yet structurally rigid construction
  • Minimal ongoing maintenance required

Cons

  • Requires significant assembly before mounting
  • Heavier than traditional wood depending on size
  • Requires specific tools for precise board cutting
  • Requires professional-level alignment for smooth operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this gate, ensure your gate posts are securely set in concrete and capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. Assemble the aluminium frame first, ensuring all corners are square before attaching the composite boards. Use the provided hardware kit for all connection points to prevent corrosion. For ongoing care, simply wash the surface with mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dust or debris; avoid using high-pressure washers, which may damage the surface finish. If you need to trim the boards to fit a specific width, use a fine-toothed blade to prevent chipping the composite edges.
