Troubleshooting
Gate does not close properly.
Check if the posts are plumb and the spacing is correct (97-100 cm). Ensure the gate is properly aligned with the posts and hinges are not obstructed.
Gate is difficult to open or close.
Inspect hinges for debris or rust. Clean and lubricate hinges. Verify that the gate is not sagging and is level.
Visible signs of rust appearing.
Galvanised steel is highly resistant, but minor surface rust can occur. Clean the area and apply a suitable metal primer and paint for protection. Inspect regularly.
Installation requires more adjustment than expected.
Ensure precise measurement of post spacing before installation. If minor adjustments are needed, consider shims or slight modifications to post alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Placement: Identify the desired location for the gate, ensuring the distance between existing fence posts is between 97-100 cm to accommodate the adjustable width.
- Install Posts (if necessary): If new posts are required, ensure they are securely embedded in the ground at the correct distance (100 cm from centre to centre) and depth (35-40 cm).
- Mount the Gate: Attach the gate to the posts using the provided hardware (not specified, assume standard gate hardware is needed). Ensure the gate swings freely.
Compatibility:
This gate is designed to be installed between two fence posts. It is compatible with most standard fencing systems where posts are appropriately spaced. The galvanised steel construction makes it suitable for outdoor use in various climates.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check the hinges and locking mechanism (if applicable) for smooth operation and lubricate if necessary.
- While galvanised steel is corrosion-resistant, regular inspection can help identify any potential issues early.
