Keep the gate clean, ensure it doesn't stand in pooled water, and re-apply a quality water-repellent sealant at least once a year.
Troubleshooting

Adjust the hinges or tighten the mounting screws; if sagging persists, a diagonal brace may be necessary.

Lightly sand the surface and apply a fresh coat of exterior wood stain or oil to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry tools, including a spirit level, measuring tape, and a drill to ensure the gate is hung plumb for proper swinging. It is recommended to use weather-treated gate hardware to prevent rust. For compatibility, ensure your existing fence posts are spaced correctly to accommodate the 3.9x3.9 ft width of the gate, leaving approximately half an inch for clearance on the latch side. Regarding care, clean the wood surface periodically to remove dirt and debris. It is highly recommended to apply a wood preservative, stain, or exterior-grade sealant annually to prevent moisture absorption and UV-related wood degradation.
