Product Information

Full details

The Ecoscape Composite Gate Aluminium Insert is an essential structural component for homeowners and contractors installing Ecoscape composite gate systems. Its primary benefit is providing a rigid, wobble-free foundation for gates by bridging the gap between the gate and the Composite Fencing End Post. A notable caveat is that it is specifically engineered for use with Ecoscape proprietary systems, meaning compatibility with other manufacturers' fencing is not guaranteed.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this insert with non-Ecoscape posts?

No, the insert is specifically dimensioned for the internal profile of Ecoscape Composite Fencing End Posts.

What size bolts do I need for the hinges?

The insert features M8 threaded holes, so you should use M8 bolts that match the thickness of your specific gate hinge plates.

Does this insert come with mounting screws?

No, the insert includes the pre-threaded holes, but hinge mounting hardware is typically provided with the gate kit or hinge set.

Will the aluminium rust over time?

The insert is made from premium aluminium, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor, long-term use.

Do I need one insert per gate post?

Yes, for optimal stability, you should install an aluminium insert into both the hinge-side post and the latch-side post if required for additional reinforcement.

Troubleshooting

Gate appears to wobble even after installation

Ensure the aluminium insert is fully seated and centered within the composite post and that all hinge bolts are tightened firmly into the M8 threads.

Hinge bolts do not align with the pre-drilled holes

Verify that you are using the correct orientation for your gate height (4ft, 5ft, or 6ft) and that the insert has not been slid in upside down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Significantly increases gate structural integrity
Pre-drilled M8 holes allow for quick hinge alignment
Highly durable aluminium construction resists rust and decay
Ensures a clean, professional finish between gate and post

Cons

Not intended for use with non-Ecoscape fencing systems
Requires specific alignment with Ecoscape End Posts
Additional hardware for hinges must be sourced separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, slide the aluminium insert into the designated channel of your Ecoscape Composite Fencing End Post before securing the post to your footing. Once the post is set, align your gate hinges with the M8 threaded holes and fasten them using compatible M8 bolts.

Compatibility: This product is strictly designed for Ecoscape Composite Fencing End Posts. It supports gate heights of 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft.

Care: Being made of high-quality aluminium, this insert requires minimal maintenance. If the gate becomes loose, periodically check the bolt tightness to ensure the hinges remain securely fastened to the internal aluminium core. No painting or sealing is required for the metal itself.
