FAQs

What is Corten steel?

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a type of metal alloy that forms a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to the weather. This outer layer acts as a protective coating, preventing corrosion of the underlying metal.

Does the gate come pre-rusted?

No, the product arrives in a normal metal color. The rust patina develops over time with exposure to atmospheric conditions. You can accelerate this process by applying a salt water and soap mixture.

What are the dimensions of the gate?

The total size is 110 cm wide by 180 cm high (W x H). The gate panel itself is 85 cm wide by 175 cm high (W x H), with an adjustable width of 104-106 cm.

Do I need to paint or treat the gate?

No, Corten steel is designed to be corrosion-resistant and requires no painting or special treatment. The natural rust layer provides protection.

How is the gate secured?

The gate features a lockable system for security. Additionally, the gate post has four mounting holes for secure fixing to the ground.

What is the recommended way to install the gate?

The gate post should be securely fixed to the ground using the provided mounting holes for maximum stability. Assembly is required before installation.

Can I adjust the width of the gate opening?

Yes, the gate has an adjustable width range of 104 cm to 106 cm, allowing for minor adjustments to fit your opening.

Troubleshooting

Gate is not rusting as expected.

Corten steel requires exposure to atmospheric conditions to develop rust. You can accelerate the process by spraying the gate with a mixture of salt water and soap. Ensure it is exposed to the elements.

Gate appears flimsy after installation.

Ensure all four mounting holes on the gate post base are securely fixed into the ground. Use appropriate anchors or fixings for your ground type. Check that the gate panel is correctly attached to the posts.

Rust is transferring to clothing or surfaces.

This is common during the initial rusting phase. Avoid leaning against the gate or touching it excessively until a stable patina has formed. Consider temporary protective measures if necessary during this period.

Gate is difficult to close or open.

Check for any obstructions or ground movement. Ensure the gate is properly aligned and the hinges are not binding. Minor adjustments to the gate's position or the ground anchor may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion due to Corten steel.
  • Low maintenance as it does not require painting.
  • Unique, evolving aesthetic with a natural rusty patina.
  • Provides security with a lockable system.
  • Stable installation options for various ground types.

Cons

  • Requires time to develop its characteristic rusty finish.
  • May stain clothing or nearby materials during the rusting process.
  • Assembly is required.
  • Initial appearance is of standard metal, not the desired rust color.
  • Adjustable width is minimal (2 cm range).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This garden gate requires assembly. Ensure you have the necessary tools before starting. The gate post features four mounting holes at its base, designed to be fixed securely into the ground for stability. Ensure the chosen location is level and suitable for anchoring.

Compatibility: The gate is designed to fit openings with an adjustable width of 104-106 cm. It's compatible with most standard fence lines where this width can be accommodated. The post tubes measure 6 x 4 cm (W x D).

Care: Corten steel is designed to be low-maintenance. No painting or sealing is required. Over time, it will develop a protective, rustic layer. To maintain its appearance and prevent potential staining during the initial rusting phase, avoid prolonged contact with the developing rust. If you wish to speed up the rusting process, you can apply a salt water and soap mixture. Periodically check that the mounting is secure.
