Full details
The VidaXL Fence Gate in black is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to secure their garden, patio, or terrace with a durable and contemporary barrier. Designed for those who value both security and aesthetic appeal, this heavy-duty steel gate features an elegant spiked-top design and robust construction. While it offers excellent stability and long-term corrosion resistance, users should note that professional installation or at least two people are recommended due to the weight and alignment requirements of the mounting posts.

FAQs
What is the total height of the gate?
The total height of the gate is 170 cm, with the gate panel itself measuring 120 cm.
Can I install this on a wood fence?
While possible, the gate is heavy. It is recommended to mount it on steel posts or reinforced structural pillars to support the weight properly.
Are the keys standard?
The gate comes with 3 proprietary keys matching the included bolt hinge lock.
Does the gate open both ways?
The hinge setup generally allows it to swing in the direction it is mounted; ensure you mount the hinges on the desired side to determine the opening direction.
Is the finish weather-resistant?
Yes, the steel is powder-coated to provide a layer of protection against rust and corrosion from outdoor elements.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need a shovel for the post holes, a spirit level for alignment, concrete mix for the posts, and basic wrenches for the hinge hardware.
Troubleshooting
The lock is difficult to engage or stuck
Check if the gate is level. If the gate has shifted, adjust the hinge bolts to realign the lock catch.
The gate feels loose or wobbly
Check the mounting post base. If the posts are not set in deep enough concrete, they may shift over time. Reinforce the ground base if necessary.
Surface oxidation or rust spots appearing
Clean the affected area with a wire brush, apply a rust-inhibitor, and touch up with black exterior-grade metal paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, you will need basic hand tools and a level. It is highly recommended to set the mounting posts in concrete to ensure the gate does not sag over time.
- Measure the opening to ensure the 100 cm width fits your fence line.
- Dig post holes and ensure the posts are perfectly vertical using a level.
- Allow the concrete to fully cure before mounting the gate panels.
- Attach the hinges and test the bolt lock alignment.
For care, wipe the gate down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust or garden debris. If you notice any chips in the powder coating, treat them immediately with a metal-safe primer or paint to prevent rust from forming underneath.
