Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the gate posts are securely installed and level. The gate can be hung using standard gate hinges, which are typically sold separately. The specific hanging side can be determined during installation.
Compatibility: This gate is designed as a pedestrian access point and fits standard openings. It is compatible with most gate posts and hardware. Dimensions are approximately Height 120 cm x Width 90 cm x Depth 3.5 cm.
Care:
- Initial Drying Period: It is crucial to allow 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any paint, stain, or sealant. This allows the treated timber to dry and settle.
- Maintenance: As with all natural timber products, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Reapply a suitable wood treatment or finish every few years to maintain appearance and further protect the timber, following the product manufacturer's guidelines.
- Seasonal Movement: Be aware that natural timber can expand and contract with changes in weather. Minor dimensional variations are normal and do not affect the gate's functionality.
