Before You Begin

  • Call 811 before you dig to check for underground utilities.
  • Read your fence's install guide first so you understand the fence assembly before installing your gate.
  • Pre-assemble the gate frame as a dry run before driving any permanent screws — confirm every piece fits and the frame goes together in the correct order.
  • Install your gate posts before your fence posts — fence panels are more forgiving for a custom fit than a gate.

Returns: Please let us help resolve any issues before initiating a return. If a return is still necessary, it must be initiated with the retailer where the product was purchased.

Finishing Post: BL19112

Gates do not come with their own posts

You will need two Finishing Posts — one to finish the fence run, and one to support the gate.

Hinge Post Support

Your gate will perform best with complete fence panels on both sides. At minimum, the hinge post should be part of a connected fence run — tying it to a panel that continues to another post lets that post help carry the gate's swinging load, instead of the hinge post bearing it alone. If space restrictions make this impossible, contact us for alternative solutions.

gate should be installed between 2 complete panels

Note on Hinges

Hinges only open one direction. Decide which way you want your gate to open before mounting your hinges.

Hinges open one direction — choose orientation first

Check hinge orientation clears the post before mounting

Step 1: Assemble Gate Sides

Parts Required

A x2 B x2

Insert the Stile (B) all the way into one bottom Gate Bracket (A) until it hits the back corner — make sure it's seated against the back of the bracket wall. Press firmly, then repeat for the other side of the gate.

Important: Light force may be required to seat the stile fully.

Step 2: Install Bottom Rail

Step 4: Insert Boards

Parts Required

Note: Seat all boards fully into the bottom rail.

Step 8: Install the Brace

Parts Required

Note: For best performance, install the brace with its top on the same side as the latch finger.

Step 9: Loosen Hinge

Parts Required

H x1 I x1

Optional, for a slower self-close. Insert the Tension Pin (I) into a hole on top of the Hinge (H) and rotate it to the right — this takes some force.

To loosen the tension: with the pin turned all the way right, remove the smaller pin, let the tension pin ease back to the left, then reinsert the smaller pin in a new hole. This loosens the hinge and makes installation easier.

Step 10: Adjust Hinge Spacing

Parts Required

H x1

Using two wrenches, loosen or tighten the nuts on the hinge to adjust the spacing between your gate and hinge post — this also helps with leveling later on.
