Compare composite fence gates by color and board direction when coordinating an entrance. This composite fence gate has eleven horizontal Charcoal boards and a nominal 3.5 ft width by 6 ft leaf height. An overhead LINE crossbeam distinguishes this configuration from the standard no-crossbeam version.
The taller connection is specified for a 7 ft fence run. Two 114-inch steel posts, the aluminum frame and the separate crossbeam materials each have their own role in the component list. Review composite fencing materials and layouts for the surrounding project. When comparing gates, check direction as well as color: the horizontal and vertical Charcoal leaves use different board quantities even though their nominal gate dimensions match.

Limited warranty periods (residential / commercial use):
- Structural defects in Charcoal boards and covered metal gate parts: up to 25 / 10 years.
- Covered Charcoal board color changes: up to 25 / 10 years.
- Coastal metal coating defects: up to 5 / 3 years.
- Non-coastal metal coating defects: up to 15 / 10 years.
- Covered metal finish fading, all locations: up to 8 / 5 years.
For metal coating coverage, use the nearest shoreline of an ocean, sea or saltwater bay. Salt or brackish tidal estuaries also count. Measure in a straight line from the installed part. A distance of 10 miles or less is coastal; farther away is non-coastal.
Qualifying defects under normal use must meet the written terms, including color and coating claim conditions. Metal coverage applies only to covered parts and eligible factory finishes. The combination lock is outside the periods listed above. Contact Modern Yard for the applicable separate warranty terms.
Normal airborne coastal salt and salt spray alone do not exclude qualifying coating claims. The metal warranty excludes direct saltwater immersion or splash damage.
Remaining coverage transfers with property ownership. Products must stay at the original site. Keep records of the products and original purchase date. Transfer or replacement does not restart coverage.
For approved claims, Modern Yard refunds or replaces defective boards or parts. The original net purchase price determines the amount. The amount drops over time under the warranty schedule.
Metal coating compensation is 100% in the term’s first half, 50% in the second. Other claims follow separate schedules.
We do not pay for labor, installation, removal, reinstallation, freight or shipping. This changes if required by law or if Modern Yard expressly agrees in writing.
Email service@mymodernyard.com with purchase records, photos, product details and the issue. Expect a decision or next steps within 7–14 business days. Contact Modern Yard for full warranty terms.

Frequently asked questions
Can the standard Charcoal gate be treated as this Crossbeam model?
They are separate configurations. This model uses the overhead member and its own taller post layout; the ordinary no-crossbeam installation keeps its own parameters.
Why is the board requirement higher than on the vertical version?
The layouts use different board directions and cut pieces. This horizontal model has eleven installed boards; the vertical full-privacy leaf has six.
Do I purchase an extra composite board for the crossbeam?
No. The crossbeam uses LINE stock. The eleven Charcoal boards are the leaf infill, and the source lists the LINE material separately.
