2) Build the Gate.
Lay out the parts as shown in the diagram. Begin to attach components.
Using a small hammer or rubber mallet, lightly tap the components together.
2.1) Gate Corners.
Attach Gate Corners (D) to gate structure (A and B) by sliding corners
into the Posts/Rails. Make sure the holes on the hinge side Gate Corners (D1 and D2),
face up and down, and the holes on the latch side Gate Corners (D3 and D4) face
outward.
4) Install the Latch.
Attach Latch Slide (I) onto gate structure (A) using Latch Mounting Plate (M) and screw.
The “U” shaped section of the Latch Slide (I) should wrap around vertical post.
The Mounting Plate (M) will insert into the Latch Slide (I) keeping it attached to the gate structure.
The top of the Mounting Plate (M) should face towards the latch vertical post.
Use supplied screws to attach Mounting Plate (M) to gate structure (D).
Once complete, slide the Latch Slide (I) down into the locked position.
5.2) Attach the Gate Stop.
Open the gate. You should need to slide the Latch Slide (I) up to do this.
Once gate is open, attach the Gate Stop (L) in marked position using
supplied screws.
Attach bottom Gate Stop (L) in desired position using supplied screws.
NOTE:
Secure components with PVC
glue if a permanent fit is desired.
5.1) Position Gate Stop.
Position Gate Stop (L) to the center of the vertical post but do not secure.
Close gate with latch still in locked position (lowered).
Slide Gate Stop (L) up until it interlocks with Latch Slide (I).
The screw holes in the Gate Stop (L) should be facing the gate (D).
Make sure Latch Slide (I) does not slide up when doing this. This is
the correct position for the top Gate Stop (L). Mark this position with a pencil.

3.2) Install Gate Panel.
To install Gate Panel place panel against Post and Rail and attach by
using screws to secure wire along its edge.
When installing wire or lattice make sure gate is hanging properly. The tension
created by hanging wire or lattice can cause the gate to become misaligned.
