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.

4 -

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.
