Troubleshooting

Gate is difficult to open or close.

Check that the gate posts are plumb and secure. Ensure hinges are aligned and lubricated. Verify that there is no obstruction around the gate's swing path.

Rust stains appearing on the gate or surrounding areas.

Ensure that only stainless steel fixings (as supplied or recommended) are used. Clean affected areas with a suitable wood cleaner. Check if any non-stainless steel hardware is in contact with the timber.

Gate sags or appears unstable.

Verify that the gate posts are adequately set and stable. Check the integrity of the cross rails and diamond brace. If significant sagging occurs, professional assessment may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Croft Prestige Gate requires appropriate gate posts (sold separately) for installation. Ensure posts are set securely in the ground to support the gate's weight and allow for proper operation. The gate can be configured for left- or right-hand opening during installation. Fixing packs, which contain the necessary hardware to attach the gate to the posts, are available as a separate product and must be purchased to complete the installation.

Compatibility: This gate is designed to be mounted between two posts. The size of the posts and the spacing between them should be appropriate for the gate's width and weight. It is compatible with standard gate hardware, but it is recommended to use fixing packs specifically designed for the Croft Prestige range for optimal results.

Care: While treated for rot resistance, the timber can be maintained to preserve its appearance. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For long-term protection and to maintain the premium finish, consider applying a suitable wood sealant or stain annually, especially after the initial period. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the wood surface.
