Garden gate VidaXL model 42008929, painted steel, gray, 100 x 250 cm

The VidaXL garden gate model 42008929 is a painted steel gate in gray with overall dimensions of 100 x 250 cm. Designed for outdoor use, the gate is made from powder-coated steel to provide resistance to corrosion and a durable surface finish. It is intended as a functional entry barrier for gardens, residential yards and driveways, and can be used as a replacement gate in existing fence installations.

Advantages

The powder-coated steel construction offers improved protection against weathering compared with untreated metal and helps maintain the gate's appearance over time. The gate's size and rectangular shape provide a clear and stable passageway while its painted finish reduces maintenance requirements. Materials and finish are selected for typical residential outdoor conditions, balancing durability and visual neutrality in gray.

Suitable for

• Private gardens and backyards where a medium-width gate is required
• Driveway entrances for passenger vehicles where gate width and height are appropriate
• Replacement of an existing gate within a compatible frame and hinge system
• Residential fencing projects that require a neutral gray gate to match various fence materials

When it may not be suitable

This gate is constructed from painted steel and, while powder coating improves corrosion resistance, it may not be suitable for highly corrosive environments such as coastal sites with constant salt spray or industrial locations with aggressive chemicals. It is also a manually operated single leaf gate; it is not supplied as an automated system and will require compatible hinges and fitting hardware for installation if not already present.

Key specifications

• Material: Painted / powder-coated steel
• Colour: Gray
• Overall dimensions: 100 x 250 cm (width x height)
• Intended use: Outdoor garden, yard, driveway gate
• Finish: Protective painted surface for weather resistance

How to use

Position the gate within a compatible frame and secure it using suitable hinges and fasteners rated for outdoor use. Ensure the supporting posts are plumb and firmly anchored before mounting the gate leaf. Adjust hinge alignment so the gate swings freely without scraping the ground or frame. Apply a suitable exterior-grade lock or latch if required for security. Periodically inspect the painted surface and hinge fixings; touch up scratches in the paint to limit exposure of bare metal.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the opening and existing frame to confirm the gate's 100 x 250 cm dimensions will fit
• Check whether additional hardware (hinges, latch, posts) is needed and compatible
• Consider local environmental conditions (coastal or industrial exposure) that may require enhanced corrosion protection
• Confirm whether you need an automated gate system — this product is manual

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, install the gate on robust, well-anchored posts, use corrosion-resistant fasteners, and perform routine maintenance such as cleaning and paint touch-ups. If installed near the coast or in an aggressive environment, consider additional protective measures like galvanizing or more frequent inspections.
