This guide is for homeowners seeking a stylish and durable single metal garden gate.

FAQs
What is the actual physical width of the gate?
The listed width (e.g., 838mm) refers to the gap the gate is designed to fit. The physical width of the gate itself is slightly less than this measurement to accommodate the hinges and latch mechanism.
What is the height of the gate?
The gate height is 812mm.
What material is the gate made from?
The gate is constructed from solid steel.
How is the gate protected against rust?
It is electro galvanised and finished with a black powder coating for enhanced protection against corrosion and weathering.
Can I install this gate myself?
Yes, if you have basic DIY skills and the necessary tools. Ensure you follow the setup instructions carefully, particularly regarding measurements and post stability.
What kind of lock or latch can I use?
The gate is designed to accommodate standard garden gate latches. You will need to purchase a compatible latch separately.
Does delivery include the Scottish Highlands?
Delivery is free to UK mainland with the exception of specific postcodes including those in the Scottish Highlands, where a surcharge may apply. Please check before ordering.
Troubleshooting
Gate is difficult to close or latch.
Check that the gate is hanging straight and not sagging. Ensure posts are plumb and secure. Verify that hinges and latch are correctly aligned and free from obstructions. Lubricate hinges if necessary.
Rust spots appear on the surface.
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a touch-up paint specifically designed for coated metal to prevent further corrosion.
Gate appears too large for the opening.
Verify that you are measuring the post-to-post gap correctly. The gate is designed to be smaller than the gap to allow for hinges and latches. Ensure all measurements align with the product specifications.
Hinges or latch are stiff.
Clean the hardware of any dirt or debris. Apply a suitable lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or white lithium grease) to the hinge pins and latch mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Measure Your Opening: Ensure the post-to-post gap is precisely 838mm. Remember the gate itself will be slightly smaller than this measurement to allow for hardware.
Prepare Mounting Points: Ensure you have sturdy posts or suitable wall structures to attach the hinges and latch.
Attach Hardware: Mount the hinges to one post and the latch mechanism to the opposite post or structure, aligning them with the pre-drilled holes or intended placement on the gate.
Hang the Gate: Carefully hang the gate onto the hinges and test the latch mechanism.
Compatibility:
This gate is designed for openings of 838mm (width) x 812mm (height).
It requires compatible hinges and a latch mechanism for secure operation.
Ensure posts are plumb and securely set.
Care:
Clean the gate periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the powder coating.
Inspect hinges and latch hardware occasionally for smooth operation and lubricate if necessary.
Touch up any minor chips or scratches with an appropriate black metal paint to maintain corrosion resistance.
