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 - Pre-Assemble the Gate Frame (without pickets) Please do not 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 screwed together. After you assemble your gate correctly, please disassemble as necessary and use 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.
Install Your Gate Posts Before Installing Your
Fence Posts.
For more information, contact us at 1 877-778-5733.
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.
Do Not Hang Gate on Lone Soldier Post.
