This Corten steel garden gate is designed for homeowners looking to add a durable and elegant entrance to their garden or patio fence. Its key benefit is the low maintenance and long lifespan due to the natural anti-corrosive properties of Corten steel, which also develops a unique rusty aesthetic over time. A minor caveat is that the gate requires assembly and does not include frame or posts, and the initial rusting process can stain clothing if not handled carefully.

The garden gate is made of Corten steel, also known as weathering steel.

No, Corten steel is naturally anti-corrosive and develops its own protective layer. Painting is not required and is generally not recommended.

The overall dimensions of the gate are 85 cm (Width) x 3 cm (Depth) x 200 cm (Height).
The gate has an adjustable width of 90-92 cm.
To keep your clothes stain-free, avoid contact with the developing rust layer, especially during the initial stages of rust formation. The rust layer will stabilize over time.
Utilize the adjustable width feature (90-92 cm) to make minor adjustments. If the discrepancy is larger, custom framing may be required.
This is common during the initial rusting period. Install a temporary barrier or avoid placing the gate near surfaces prone to staining until the rust layer has stabilized. For faster rust development and stabilization, consider applying a soap and saltwater spray.
Corten steel forms a protective rust layer. If you observe excessive flaking or deep pitting beyond a stable patina, consult the manufacturer or a metalwork specialist.
Setup: Assembly is required for this garden gate. Users will need to attach the gate to existing or purchased frame posts. Ensure posts are securely installed before attaching the gate. The adjustable width feature (90-92 cm) allows for minor adjustments during installation.
Compatibility: This gate is designed to be installed with compatible gate frame and posts, which are not included in the delivery. Ensure any frame and posts used are robust enough to support the gate and are suitable for outdoor use.
Care: Corten steel is known for its low maintenance. No painting is required. However, during the initial rusting phase, it is advisable to keep clothing and other materials from coming into direct contact with the developing rust to prevent staining. To potentially speed up the rusting process, you can spray the gate with a mixture of soap and saltwater. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can interfere with the natural patina development.
