FAQs
Does the gate come with hardware?
No, all fixings including hinges, latches, and screws are sold separately.
How often should I treat the timber?
To maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee, you must apply a wood treatment at least once every year.
Is this gate suitable for high-wind areas?
Due to the solid board design, it can catch wind; ensure the gate is mounted with high-quality, heavy-duty hardware and secured with a strong latch.
Can I paint this gate?
Yes, once the initial dip-treatment has weathered or been cleaned, you can apply an exterior-grade wood paint or stain.
What is the height of the gate?
The gate is 6ft tall, providing excellent privacy and security.
Troubleshooting
Gate is sagging or not closing properly
Check the hinges for loose screws and tighten them. If the gate remains misaligned, ensure the supporting post has not shifted due to ground movement.
Wood showing signs of discoloration
Discoloration is common with timber. Clean the gate gently and apply a fresh coat of wood preservative or stain to restore the golden brown finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry tools, including a spirit level, drill, and screwdriver. Since fixings are not provided, you should select high-quality galvanised steel hinges and latches to prevent rust. Ensure the posts are set firmly in the ground with concrete to handle the weight of the gate. To maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee, apply a high-quality timber preservative or garden wood treatment once a year, ideally in dry spring weather. Avoid installing the bottom of the gate directly in contact with standing water or damp soil to prolong its lifespan.
