Westport Vinyl Privacy Gate

• 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.

For faster service, have your item number (BL19106) and part name ready. A batch lot number (found on the end of the box) is also helpful if available — it helps us identify and resolve any production issues on our end.

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.

Westport Fence, Gate, and Finishing Post

Drill

Stringline Reel

Stakes (for stringline)

Pencil

Wrenches

Wood Blocks

Small Level (for pipe pounding)

Good

Sledgehammer
10-15lbs.
A basic option for very small projects. Requires two people to keep pipes level during installation.

Better

Manual Post Pounder
12-30lbs.
Best for projects with fewer than 10 pipes. Available at your local hardware store.

Best

Gas Powered Post Pounder
Rentals are ideal for larger projects. Significantly reduces time and effort required.

Note: Choose a post pounder with a barrel diameter of 2" or greater. Pounder barrel cannot be longer than 24in.

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.

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

Gate Bracket (4)

1¼" Self-Drilling Stainless Steel Screw (16)

J

4" Tension Pin (2)

Parts Required

A x2 D x2

Insert the Stile (D) 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.

Parts Required

C x1

Insert the Rail (C) fully into the bottom Gate Bracket (A) until it meets the vertical stile.

Parts Required

B x8

Insert your opposing side and fasten using 8 screws (B) in both brackets. Apply pressure to make sure your rails and stiles are in place.

Parts Required

E x1 F x3

Insert Trimmed Board (E) and one Board (F) into the side vertical stiles, then insert the remaining two middle boards (F) for the simplest install.

Note: Insert boards fully into the bottom rail.

Parts Required

A x2 C x1

Firmly press each Rail Bracket (A) into your remaining Rail (C).

Note: Do not push the rail to the back of the bracket.

Parts Required

B x8

Install your pre-assembled top rail onto the gate frame. Fasten using 8 screws (B).

Note: Apply downward force on your top rail while screwing into place, to ensure your frame is square.

Parts Required

H x1 J x1

Optional, for slower self-closing. Insert your Tension Pin (J) into a hole on the top of your Hinge (H). Once inserted, rotate the pin to the right — this will take a lot of force.

To loosen the tension: with the tension pin turned all the way to the right, remove the smaller pin. Slowly let the tension pin go back to the left and place the smaller pin in a new hole. This will loosen your hinge and make installation easier.

Parts Required

H x1

Using your two wrenches, loosen or tighten the nuts on the hinge to adjust the spacing between your gate and hinge post. This can also help you moderately level your gate later on.

Parts Required

I x1 G x2

Fasten the Latch Finger (I) to the top bracket with 6 screws.

Fasten the Hinges (G) to the front of the gate brackets with 12 total screws.

Place wooden blocks under your gate to ensure it is level with your fence rails. Fasten hinges to the post with 6 total screws.

Open your gate — making sure to set it on the two wooden blocks to keep it level. Fasten hinges to the post with 12 total screws in each hinge.

Level the gate to the fence post by adjusting the nuts on the hinges. Check the gate to make sure it functions correctly. Mark where you need to install your latch catch.

Fasten the Latch Catch (H) with 6 screws.
