• Measure to be sure you can install the gate and the post with
approximately a 2" gap between the ground and the bottom of
the gate panel.
• Hang the pre-assembled panel between the posts (fig. 2).
Secure in place with shims under the gate, or clamp the gate to
the post. Make sure the gate is level and square.
• Remove clamps and shims.
Planning
Setting and Installing Gate
Setting Post
• Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory agency
for special code requirements in your area.
• Contact your utility supplier to locate and mark underground lines.
• Gates are ready-to-finish. We recommend painting, staining
or sealing prior to installation.
• Careful planning and measuring of your fence project is essential,
as moving posts after the concrete sets is extremely difficult.
• Some hardware, such as decorative hinges, may not be
compatible with this product. Please consult the hardware
manufacturer if uncertain.
• Before setting the gate posts, ensure that the opening will be
wide enough to fit the gate and the width of the gate hardware
you use. The actual gate width is 42". Hardware width will vary.
• Dig the holes for the gate posts 18" to 24" in diameter and 36"
to 42" deep (depending on local ordinance or expected frost
depth in winter). See fig. 1.
