Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are fixing packs included with the gate?

No, fixing packs for the Croft Prestige gates are available as a separate product and must be purchased in addition to the gate.

What sizes are available for the Croft Prestige Wooden Field Gate?

The gate is available in sizes ranging from 3ft to 8ft, catering to various entrance requirements.

What type of timber is used?

The gate is crafted from high-precision engineered timber that is FSC®-certified, sourced from sustainably managed forests.

How do I maintain the wooden finish?

For the planed premium finish, apply a suitable wood preservative or stain annually. For the rough sawn finish, similar treatments are recommended to protect against the elements.

What does 'fully housed angled cross rails' mean?

This refers to a construction technique where the cross rails are fitted securely into precisely cut housings within the gate's frame. Angled rails provide increased structural support and longevity.

Can this gate be used for a driveway entrance?

Yes, the robust construction and classic design make it suitable for driveways, property entrances, fields, and farm tracks.

What is the benefit of stainless steel fixings?

Stainless steel fixings ensure that no rust runs or stains appear on the gate or surrounding areas, maintaining its aesthetic appeal and preventing timber degradation.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not hang straight

Check that gate posts are plumb and securely set. Adjust hinge placement or ensure gate is correctly sized for the opening. Ensure all fixings are tightened.

Wood shows signs of weathering or fading

Apply a suitable wood preservative, stain, or sealant annually, following product instructions, to protect the timber from UV and moisture damage.

Rust marks appearing on the gate

Ensure all fixings used are stainless steel as specified. If rust appears from other sources, clean the area with a mild abrasive and reapply protective treatment.

Gate feels stiff or difficult to open/close

Check for obstructions around the gate and posts. Inspect hinges for damage or misalignment and lubricate if necessary. Ensure the ground has not shifted, causing posts to become uneven.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have appropriate gate posts that are sturdy and securely set into the ground. The Croft Prestige gates are available in various sizes, so select posts suitable for the chosen gate width and expected load. As fixing packs are sold separately, ensure you have the correct hardware for mounting the gate to the posts. Professional installation is recommended for optimal stability and longevity.

Compatibility: This gate is designed for use with standard gate posts. Consider the size of your opening and select the gate width accordingly. For automated systems, consult with an installer to ensure compatibility.

Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the wooden gate, regular care is recommended. Clean the timber periodically with a damp cloth. For the planed premium finish, consider applying a suitable wood preservative or stain annually to protect against UV rays and moisture. For the rough sawn finish, similar treatments are advised. Inspect fixings regularly to ensure they remain secure.
