How long does a metal driveway gate last?

A hot-dip galvanised and powder coated gate is protected against corrosion outside and inside the sections, so it can stand outdoors all year round. Simple care keeps it going for many years: wash the gate with water once a season, lubricate the hinges or rollers, check the lock and touch up any chips straight away with RAL paint. Adjustable hinges let you realign the leaf if the posts settle over time. Follow the gate-maintenance guide.
