Stirling Metal Scroll Garden Gate - 914mm Gap x 914mm High - Black
This Metal Scroll Garden Gate features a height of 914mm to the top of the scrolls and fits a post...This Metal Scroll Garden Gate features a height of 914mm to the top of the scrolls and fits a post-to-post gap of 914mm. It is electro-galvanised for added rust resistance and powder-coated black. The galvanising process is not a 100% rust-proof guarantee; if the coating is scratched or chipped, it will need to be touched up. The gate comes with all required fittings, but screws are not included. Nuts and bolts must be painted after fitting. Like any outdoor metal product, it will require annual maintenance if the coating is damaged or if rust appears. The gate is constructed from solid metal with 25mm x 10mm frames and 12mm infill bars. Note: The gate hinges have been changed to an adjustable I-bolt type. Made to measure service is available for the Stirling range, where gaps between scroll sections will vary to suit the fixed scroll section size. Please contact us for made to measure service. The given width indicates the gap size; the gates are physically smaller than the gap size to accommodate hinges and latch.
This guide is for homeowners looking to enhance their garden's security and aesthetics with a durable, stylish gate. The key benefit is its robust construction and rust-resistant treatment, offering long-term beauty. A caveat to note is that the electro-galvanisation is not entirely rust-proof and requires maintenance if scratched. The Stirling Metal Scroll Garden Gate features a classic scroll design, solid metal construction with substantial frame and infill bar dimensions, and a black powder-coat finish for a timeless look. It is designed to fit a specific post-to-post gap and includes necessary fittings.

FAQs
What is the actual width of the gate?
The given width (914mm) indicates the post-to-post gap the gate is designed for. The gate itself is physically smaller than this gap to accommodate the hinges and latch mechanism.
Are screws included for installation?
No, screws are not included with the gate. You will need to provide your own screws for installation.
What kind of maintenance does the gate require?
Annual maintenance is recommended. Inspect for any scratches or chips in the coating and touch up as needed to prevent rust. Clean with a damp cloth.
Is the gate completely rust-proof?
The gate is electro-galvanised for rust resistance and powder-coated, but this is not a 100% rust-proof guarantee. If the coating is scratched or chipped, rust may appear and should be addressed promptly.
Can I get this gate in a different size?
Yes, a made-to-measure service is available for the Stirling range. Please contact us for details on custom sizing.
What are the dimensions of the frame and infill bars?
The gate is constructed from solid metal with 25mm x 10mm frames and 12mm infill bars.
What type of hinges are supplied?

Troubleshooting
Gate does not hang straight or swings unevenly.
Adjust the I-bolt hinges. Loosen the nuts, reposition the hinge, and re-tighten. Ensure posts are plumb.
Latch does not engage properly.
Check alignment of the latch strike plate on the post and the latch on the gate. Adjust post or gate position slightly if necessary, or reposition the strike plate.
Rust appears on the gate surface.
Clean the rusted area down to bare metal. Apply a rust inhibitor primer, followed by a black metal paint matching the original finish. Address any scratches or chips promptly to prevent future rust.
Gate feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check the hinges for debris or corrosion. Lubricate the hinge points if necessary. Ensure the gate is not binding against the posts or ground.
