Instructions / Assembly

Reducing the Width of Ready-To-Assemble Panels & Gates:

Simply remove boards from panel and cut rails to desired length (make sure rails are 3" wider than the  nished panel

size, so that the rails can be inserted into the post routes (Fig. 1). For added security, add rail clips, notches, or screws to

the end of the cut rails.

NOTE:

If cutting one of the vertical boards is necessary to achieve the desired panel width, draw a line the length of the board

and slowly cut using a  ne tooth saw.

If reducing the width of a gate, be sure to take into consideration any inserts or channels inside the post uprights, and

cut the rail lengths as required (Fig. 2).

Finish assembling the rest of the fence or gate panel by following the respective installation instructions.
