Apply a fresh coat of exterior wood stain or sealant. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Follow product instructions for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation typically involves attaching hinges to the gate and a supporting post or structure, then aligning and securing the gate. Ensure posts are stable and plumb before attaching hardware. Consider the gate's swing direction and ensure adequate clearance. Hardware such as hinges and latches are usually purchased separately.
Compatibility: This gate is designed to integrate with standard fencing panels and posts. It can be adapted to various opening widths within its standard size range or customized dimensions. Ensure your existing fence line or gate posts are robust enough to support the gate's weight.
Care: To maintain the gate's appearance and longevity, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For extended protection against weathering and UV damage, reapply a suitable exterior wood stain or sealant annually, or as needed based on your climate. Check fixings periodically and tighten if necessary.
