STEP 1: PLAN YOUR DESIGN
Decide on your layout and remember to consider where the gate will be installed. Regular posts should
be set 72-1/2” apart, measuring from center to center of each post, while gate posts should be set 1“
wider than the width of the gate itself to allow room for the hinges.
Layout the perimeter of determined fencing area with stakes and masons string to keep posts in line
when installing. Place the wood stakes where you intend to install the posts.
All IronCraft aluminum panels can be installed on an incline. The same method of installation should be
followed, simply push the panel up or down to accommodate a hill or slope.

PLEASE NOTE: Additional accessories are required if installing on hard surface, such as a deck, or if mounting the
end panel to a wall.
TIP: All aluminum panels can be cut to
the size needed. When cutting, use a
standard hand saw or reciprocating saw
and be sure to leave 2” of spacing at the
end of each horizontal rail.
