FAQs
Can I paint this gate a different color?
Yes, the pressure-treated wood is designed to be painted or stained. Ensure the gate is dry before applying any exterior-grade wood paint.
Is the hardware included with the gate?
The gate comes as a standalone unit; you will need to purchase hinges and a latch system that complements your specific mounting surface.
How often should I treat the wood?
While pressure-treated, applying a fresh coat of outdoor preservative or stain every 1-2 years will significantly extend the gate's lifespan.
Can this be installed on a metal post?
Yes, provided you use the correct hardware compatible with both timber and the specific metal post material.
Is the gate heavy?
As it is made from solid, pressure-treated wood, it has a substantial weight which contributes to its durability and secure feel.
Does the green finish fade?
Like any outdoor wooden product, the finish may mellow or fade over time due to UV exposure; regular maintenance will help maintain the color.
Troubleshooting
Gate is dragging on the ground
Check your hinges for signs of wear or sinking posts; you may need to adjust the hinge pins or tighten the bolts.
Gate appears to be warping
Ensure the gate is properly sealed with outdoor wood stain or paint to prevent moisture ingress, which causes natural timber to expand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to the weight and nature of the timber, ensure you use heavy-duty hinges and a robust latch system suitable for wooden gates. Always check the level of your posts before installation to ensure the gate hangs square.
Compatibility: This gate is intended for standard pedestrian use. Ensure your existing gate posts or masonry are capable of supporting the weight of a pressure-treated wooden structure.
Care:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or paint shortly after installation if desired.
- Routine Inspection: Check hinges and latches every six months to ensure they remain tight and free of rust.
- Seasonal Cleaning: Wash off dirt and debris with a soft brush or a light hose down annually to prevent algae buildup.
