d) If you remove too many links from your Mesh, your Tension Bar will not be able
to be stretched deep enough into the Tension Band to clear the Carriage Bolt.
e) You will know you have identified the correct number of links to remove when
you are able to stretch the Mesh and Tension Bar so it just clears the Carriage
Bolt.
7) Remove Excess Mesh Links
a) Using Pliers, unbend both knuckled ends of the first Link to be removed.
b) Unbend the knuckled end at the top of the link the Tension Bar will bear against.
This will be the last link you wish to keep.
c) Like a corkscrew, turn and pull the free link out of the Mesh section.
d) Once free, bend the knuckle at the top of the last link you wish to keep back into
place so that the Tension Bar will slide through.
e) Discard the excess links and install the second Tension Bar into the end of the
Mesh section.
8) Install Second Side Offset Tension Bands
a) After removing any excess Mesh links, follow the procedure outlined in Steps 3)
and 4) to install the Tension Bands on the second side of the Gate Panel.
b) Remember not to fully tighten the tension Bands at this time.
9) Tighten Carriage Bolt Nuts
a) Once all the Tension Bands are installed, confirm that the Mesh section is
straight and centered.
b)
Using the 1/2” Wrench or an equivalent Socket driver or Ratchet, fully tighten all
the Carriage Bolt Nuts by turning them clockwise.
c) The Nuts should be tightened until the Tension Band clamps snugly to the Mesh.
10) Repeat Steps 1) to 9) for all Gate Panels
