Manchester Vinyl Picket Gate Instructions

Manchester Vinyl Picket Gate

GENER AL INFORMATION

1 - Read Over Fence Instructions First

     Your gate and fence will work better together as an integrated 

     fence instructions.  

   

2 - Pre-Assemble the Gate Frame

       (without pickets)

 

  

      This will ensure three things:

     a)  That you have everything necessary to complete the gate.
     b)  That you will have assembled the gate in the correct order.
     

     It’s easier to trouble shoot when things are not screwed together.

3 - 

Ideally, Install Your Gate Posts Before Your Fence Posts

Your fence panels will be more forgiving for a custom fit than your gate. Ideally, position and install your

gate posts before you do anything else, or very early on in the process of setting up your fence run.

4 - Ideally, Do Not Hang Your Gate System Off A Single,

Non-Supported Post

     Your gate will perform better and last longer if your hinge post is connected to a panel of fence which is

     connected to another post.  The weight strain will be transferred unto two posts versus just one.  Installing

 

     fence panels on both sides of your gate is the ideal in all situations. 

d)  The gate height and width measure similar to drawing on Page 1.

Use Zippity clips to attach the gate to the fence panel posts.
