Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to open or close.

Check if the gate posts have settled or shifted. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and not binding. Clear any debris from the gate's path.

Stainless steel fixings show signs of corrosion.

While rare, clean fixings with a stainless steel cleaner. Ensure no harsh chemicals or saltwater have come into prolonged contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have appropriate gate posts (e.g., timber or metal) securely installed in the ground. The posts should be rated for the weight and span of the gate.
  2. Determine the gate's opening direction (left or right-hand).
  3. Attach the gate hinges to the gate and the corresponding post using suitable fixings (sold separately or as part of a fixing pack).
  4. Mount the gate onto the post by aligning the hinges and securing them.
  5. Install a suitable latch or bolt mechanism on the opposite post to secure the gate when closed.

Care:

  • To maintain the premium finish, clean the gate periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Consider applying a wood preserver or stain annually, especially to exposed end grains, to further protect the timber and prolong its appearance. This is recommended even with the anti-rot guarantee.
  • Regularly check that fixings remain secure and that the gate operates smoothly.
