This frame is specifically designed to house composite gate panels and may not accommodate the varying thickness or weight of traditional timber planks.
The frame is constructed from 660 grade aluminium, which provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it durable yet manageable during the installation process.
While the powder-coated finish is durable, painting over it is not recommended as it may void the integrity of the finish and lead to premature peeling.
The frame generally functions as the structural housing; please verify your specific purchase package to see if hardware kits are included.
Modifying the frame is not recommended as it will compromise the factory-sealed finish and may affect the structural integrity of the gate housing.
For optimal maintenance, a gentle cleaning with soap and water every 6 months is sufficient to remove salt, dirt, and atmospheric pollutants.
Check that the gate posts are still plumb and adjust the tension of the hinges if they are of the adjustable variety.
Verify that all 10 panels are inserted correctly and that any retaining clips or gaskets provided with the panel system are properly seated.
Touch up minor scratches with a compatible touch-up paint designed for powder-coated aluminium to prevent oxidation.
Setup: Before installation, ensure your gate posts are perfectly plumb and level. The frame should be mounted using hardware compatible with aluminium to prevent galvanic corrosion. Always use a level throughout the mounting process to avoid future binding of the gate.
Compatibility: This frame is specifically engineered for a 10-panel composite configuration. Ensure your chosen panels are the correct thickness for the frame channels.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the frame periodically with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that may strip the powder coating. Inspect hinges annually to ensure they remain lubricated and securely attached to the frame.
