GATE OPENING
NOTE:
The width of the GATE FRAME (Outside Dimension) is always 4” LESS than the
(inside dimension) of the GATE OPENING
STEP 1
Set GATE POSTS in cement at desired width.
NOTE: Maximum of 72” Gate Opening, (inside dimension)
unless installing a Double Drive Gate.
NOTE:
The GATE POSTS and POST HINGES are NOT INCLUDED.
You must buy the appropriate hinges and posts for your installation
STEP 2
Cut HORIZONTAL SPREADER BARS (B) to
correct width (see chart above), based on
your GATE OPENING width.
STEP 3
Assemble GATE FRAME using SPREADER BARS (B)
that you just cut, and VERTICAL UPRIGHTS (A). Ensure gate
is square and the proper width.
Use SELF-TAPPING
NOTE:
SCREWS (F) to secure in each corner.
(Hinge side of gate will have the
truss hook hole in the upper left corner, Latch side of gate will have the
truss hook hole in the lower right corner.)
STEP 4
Check again that gate frame is square
and the correct width (Gate Outside Dimension
is 4” less than the Inside Dimension of the
GATE OPENING). Install TRUSS WIRE (G, H & I):
Start at hinge side (top left) and hook the TRUSS WIRE
(H). Pull down to latch side (bottom right) and attach
CORNER HOOK (G), tighten TRUSS WIRE CLAMP (I).
Trim off excess truss wire.
If you have:
24” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 8” long
36” GATE OPENING, thencut spreader bar to 20” long
42” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 26” long
48” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 32” long
54” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 38” long
60” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 44” long
64” GATE OPENING, then cut spreader bar to 48” long
72” GATE OPENING, no cutting is necessary
Note: For gate openings in between those shown above -
add 1” to spreader bar length for every additional inch.
EXAMPLE: 25” GATE OPENING - 9” long bar
37” GATE OPENING - 21” long bar
