- Post Installation: Install the gate posts, ensuring they are level and securely in the ground. The gate's dimensions (750mm wide) will dictate the necessary spacing between posts.

- Cleaning: Clean the gate with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
