Before You Begin

  • Call 811 before you drive pipe 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.

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
