Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic woodworking tools, including a drill, level, and heavy-duty wood screws (not provided). Ensure that your timber gate is between 1200mm and 1800mm in width to maximize the efficiency of the 24-inch hinges.
Installation Tips:
- Use a level to ensure the gate is plumb before marking screw holes.
- Pilot drill all holes to prevent splitting the timber.
- For gates taller than 2130mm (7ft), always add a third hinge in the center to prevent warping.
Care: Periodically check the tightness of the screws, as timber can shrink or expand with seasonal weather changes. The galvanised finish generally requires no maintenance, though wiping away dirt and debris can help maintain a clean appearance.
