6' X 42" PRIVACY GATE
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION TIPS
At the top of the gate assembly, slide the second rail over the top of
the pickets (fig. 3).
Place gate jambs on both sides of the rails place the hinges on the
gate jamb so they are aligned with the rails. Using the bracket as
a guide, drill the three (3) necessary ¼" holes for the bracket bolts.
Repeat these steps for the hinged brackets as well (fig. 4). Ensure the
rails are fully inserted in the jamb before drilling. The bolts need to
go through the jamb and rail to
function properly.
Slide the hinged bracket and
bracket on the top and bottom
of the gate jambs. Attach hinges
to jambs with the supplied
through bolts. Connect bolts
with the supplied cap nuts.
Ensure the gate is square
before all bolts are tight. When
square, tighten all bolts with a
7/16" wrench.

Step 3
Take the bottom rail and align one of the pickets with the channel in
the bottom rail. Slide the picket into the channel (fig. 1).
Begin to insert the remaining pickets into the channel of the bottom rail
(fig. 2). Because the pickets have a tongue-and-groove design, be sure
to insert each in the same direction. Tightly align the tongue of each
picket into the groove of the next one as they slide into the channel.
Continue to slide the pickets to the opposite side of the bottom rail
until all are inserted into the channel.

PLANNING: 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.
Careful planning and measuring of your fence project is essential, as
moving posts after the concrete sets is extremely difcult.
NOTE: PicketLock
is a patent-pending technology that provides
a glue- and fastener-free connection between the pickets and
rails. You may spray soapy water onto components to help them
slide more easily into their corresponding channels. A non-marring
rubber mallet may also be used to gently tap components more
firmly into place.
