Standard Warranty

Unless otherwise stated, Burbage Iron Craft offers a 10 year workmanship warranty on metal gates and metal fencing, and 5 years on wooden gates. The workmanship warranty covers you against product defects relating to the manufacture of the products, for example, if a weld in a joint breaks or if a timber joint comes apart. The warranty does not cover rusting of metal products or the ingress of rot in wooden products because it is up to the end user to regularly inspect and maintain their products. The electro-galvanising and powder coated finish on metal gates and fencing does provide added rust resistance however it is not a 100% rust proof guarantee. Pressure treated treatment on wooden gates provides added resistance to wood rot and insect infestation, however is not a 100% guarantee against the inset of rot and insect infestation. There are too many factors outside the control of Burbage Iron Craft that could cause rusting or wood rot, such as location to the coast, adverse weather conditions and vandalism.
