IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Required Safety Precautions for Gates
Install Screen Guard Over Gate and Fence
Injuries may occur when people place their hands, arms, legs, etc., through openings in the gate grill when the gate is
operated, trapping them between the grill and the fence post (or fence). All openings of a horizontal slide gate must be
guarded or screened to prevent a 2 ¼” diameter sphere from passing through openings anywhere in the gate. This screen/
guard must also be installed over the portion of adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
Screening will prevent access through openings in areas where the gate may travel.
