Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check that hinges are correctly aligned and not obstructed. Ensure the gate is not rubbing against the ground or frame. Adjust hinges or trim gate slightly if necessary.
Wood appears faded or weathered
The gate is likely due for a reapplication of its protective finish. Clean the surface and reapply an appropriate exterior paint or stain.
