Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Installation of the Forest Garden Croft Prestige Field Gate requires a sturdy frame or posts capable of supporting its weight. Ensure posts are set securely in the ground, ideally concreted, to provide adequate support. The gate is designed for use with specific hinge and latch systems; consider purchasing the compatible fixing packs separately for a seamless installation. Always ensure the gate swings freely without obstruction.
Compatibility: This gate is designed to be compatible with a range of Forest Garden's own fixing hardware, particularly the Croft Prestige range. It is suitable for standard gate posts and can be hung on either the left or right side depending on your mounting hardware.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of the timber, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. For enhanced protection against the elements and to preserve the wood's natural beauty, consider applying a suitable wood treatment or preservative annually, especially to exposed end grains. Check fixings periodically to ensure they remain tight.
