Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure you have appropriate gate posts and ironmongery (hinges, latch) suitable for the gate's dimensions and weight. Install gate posts securely, ensuring they are plumb and adequately spaced to accommodate the 90cm width of the gate. Attach hinges to the gate and posts, then hang the gate, ensuring it swings freely without dragging on the ground. Adjust hinges as necessary for proper alignment and operation.
Compatibility: This gate is designed to complement the Premier Garden Supplies Ultimate Tongue & Groove fence panels, creating a unified look. It is also compatible with standard gate hardware.
Care: The timber is pressure-treated (Tanalised) for protection. Clean the gate with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals. For optimal results and to allow the treatment to fully dry, wait 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any paint, stain, or preservative. Note that natural timber will expand and contract with weather. For long-term care, consider re-applying a suitable timber treatment every 2-3 years, depending on exposure and desired appearance.
