1 - Read Over Fence Instructions First
Your gate and fence will work better together as an
integrated
solution if you rst take the time to read and understand your
fence instructions.
2 -
Do a Dry Run First on the Gate Frame
Only (not pickets or boards)
Please do not glue or screw your gate frame together until you
have rst temporarily assembled the gate. In other words,
do a dry run rst.
This will ensure three things:
a) That you have everything necessary to complete the gate.
b) That you will have assembled the gate in the correct order.
c) All the pieces t and function properly.
It’s easier to trouble shoot when things are not glued and screwed together.
After you assemble your gate correctly, please disassemble as necessary and
use glue and screws to permanently assemble the gate.
3 - Ideally, Install Your Gate Posts
Before Your Fence Posts
Your fence panels will be more forgiving for a custom t than
your gate. Ideally, position and install your gate posts
before you do anything else, or very early on in the
process of setting up your fence run.

Ideally, Do Not Hang Your Gate System Off a Single
Non-Supported Post.
Your gate will perform better and last longer if your hinge post is connected to a panel of fence which is
connected to another post. The weight strain will be transferred unto two posts versus just one. Installing
fence panels on both sides of your gate is the ideal in all situations. If this is not possible because of space
restrictions, please contact us for alternative solutions to overcome.
