What material is the gate made of?

Can I install this gate without the included posts?
While not recommended for optimal stability, it might be possible if you have existing, compatible posts and can securely attach the hinges. However, using the provided posts ensures proper alignment and support.
Is the green color a matte or gloss finish?

What is the warranty period for this gate?
Specific warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's documentation for warranty terms.
Troubleshooting
Gate does not close properly
Check if the posts are plumb and aligned. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the gate from swinging freely. Adjust hinge alignment if necessary.
Lock is stiff or difficult to turn
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or a suitable penetrating oil to the lock mechanism. Ensure the key is fully inserted.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
Minor rust spots can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth and mild soap. If significant rust develops, consider applying a touch-up paint suitable for powder-coated metal, though this may affect the warranty.
Hinges squeaking
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray) to the hinge pins.
