Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This gate is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure the ground is level where the gate will swing. Hinges should be fitted on the side where the braces point downwards (typically the left-hand side when viewed from the front of the gate as shown in images). You will need to select appropriate external-grade hinges and a latching mechanism. Ensure all fixings are suitable for outdoor use.
Compatibility: The gate is designed to fit standard frame sizes and can be used with a variety of outdoor gate hardware. Ensure your posts or frame are robust enough to support the gate's weight and movement. It is compatible with most standard gate opening systems.
Care: As this gate is made from natural pine, it is recommended to treat the wood with a suitable exterior-grade preservative, stain, or paint before or shortly after installation to protect it from moisture, UV rays, and insect attack. Regular inspection and reapplication of protective finishes (e.g., annually) will significantly extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents.
