Instructions / Assembly

STEP 6:
The AGII vinyl gate frame is designed to accommodate
a 1.5” to 2.0” wide vinyl rail. Once the size of the vinyl
rail has been determined, select the appropriate vinyl
rail stabilizer bracket and install next to each U
channel receivers using 2 stainless steel screws for
each bracket.
(stainless screws require a 5/16 nut driver)
STEP 7:
You are now ready to cut the vinyl rails and install on
your frame kit. Cut the vinyl rails 1/4” longer than the
spreader bars. Please insure this cut is square avoiding
unnecessary gaps between the vertical hinge and latch
steel gate frames and vinyl rails.
VERY IMPORTANT
“Helpful Hint”
Do not install latch side vertical frame until
all vinyl rails and/or boards have been positioned onto the
hinge steel frame and spreader bars. Now install the vertical
latch frame.
STEP 8:
You will install one stainless screw with decorative cap
at each rail/vertical frame intersection. There are
additional screws and caps provided for middle
vinyl / steel rail attachment on wider gate frames (This
is optional).
“Helpful Hint”
We have found using a common
motorcycle tie down strap around the middle of the gate
frame will stabilizes the frame and vinyl while installing the
stainless steel screws with decorative caps in each rail inter-
section.
STEP 9:
Installing diagonal truss cable: The turnbuckle will be at
the hinge top corner of the gate frame with the S hook at
the latch bottom side of the gate frame. Open turnbuckle to
maximum length. Pull diagonal vinyl coated cable to bot-
tom latch corner and measure 6” additional cable length
and Trim off extra cable. Strip vinyl coating from cable and
create a loop using the cable clamp provided and attach to
the S hook.
“Helpful Hint”
Do not over tighten truss cable until gate has been com-
pletely installed. This truss cable is used for a fi nal adjustment to insure
an aligned gate frame with the top of the fence
.
STEP 2:
After securely installing your hinge and latch posts,
measure the exact space between posts.
“Helpful Hint”
Measure the distance between the
tops AND bottoms of your posts to insure that the
posts are parallel and level
.
STEP 3:
Once the gate opening measurement has been
determined, deduct 6.25” from this measurement.
This will be the fi nal length that the upper and lower
spreader bars will be once cut.
Example:
Example:
For a 48” opening, the spreader bar will
be cut 41.75”.
“Helpful Hint”
The 6.25” reduction takes into account the
vertical hinge and latch frame and 1” for hinges and
1” latch.
STEP 4:
Using a common fi le, deburr the cut end of the
spreader bar to insure an easy fi t over the receiver
“U” channels.
“Helpful Hint”
It is recommended that the cut end
of the spreader bar be painted to prevent rust.
STEP 5:
Locate vertical hinge frame and install spreader
bars over “U” channel receivers
(2 on privacy gates 2, 3 or 4 on rail gates)
“Helpful Hint”
Please note that there is a top and
bottom for both vertical hinge and latch frames;
they are marked with a label.
