Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This gate is designed for standard pedestrian access points. Ensure your gate posts are sturdy and properly installed to support the weight and leverage of a fully framed gate. The gate is compatible with most standard gate hardware, such as hinges and latches, which are sold separately. Installation typically involves attaching suitable hinges to one side of the gate and the corresponding post, then aligning the gate and attaching the latch mechanism.
Compatibility: The gate is designed to fit into openings suitable for its dimensions (1800mm Height x 1350mm Width). It is compatible with standard gate posts and ironmongery. For optimal longevity, ensure it is hung correctly to avoid undue stress on the frame.
Care: The timber is pressure treated (Tanalised) for protection against rot, decay, and insects. This treatment imparts a rustic look with potential green flecks that will fade over time. It is recommended to allow 6-8 weeks after installation for the treatment to completely dry before painting or staining. For regular maintenance, clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check and tighten any hardware as needed.
