Windsor Vinyl Gate Kit
Windsor Vinyl Gate

Before You Begin

  • Call 811 before you dig to check for underground utilities — this gate needs two finishing posts (BL19109) set into the ground.
  • Read your Windsor Fence (BL19107) install guide first so you understand the panel assembly before installing your gate.
  • Dry-fit the whole gate frame before driving any permanent screws. It's far easier to troubleshoot fit and assembly order before anything is fastened.
  • Install your gate posts before your fence posts — fence panels are more forgiving for a custom fit than a gate.
  • Never hang a gate off a single unsupported post. See Hinge Post Support below.

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: BL19109

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.

Hang the gate between two 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 3: Mark the Rail Brackets

Parts Required

C x2

Choose the height for your two Rail Brackets (C) and mark their placement on both Vertical Stiles (E). If you are pairing this gate with the Windsor Fence (BL19107), set the brackets so your middle rails line up for a uniform look.

Important Note Regarding Pool Code: 43½" from the top of bottom frame meets typical pool code — always check your local regulations, as requirements vary.

Step 7: Assemble the Top Rail

Parts Required

A x2 B x1

Insert the top Rail (B) fully into one top Gate Bracket (A), then slide the opposite top Gate Bracket (A) onto the other end. Assemble the top rail into both gate brackets

Step 8: Fit the Top Rail

Slide the assembled top rail and its Gate Brackets (A) down over the Vertical Stiles (E), pressing evenly on both sides until the brackets are fully seated. Slide the top rail down over the stiles

Open the gate to reach the inside of the hinge

Drive the inside hinge screws into the post

Note: If your internal pipe anchor sits close to the inside corner of the post, angle your screws to miss it. If the anchor can't be avoided, pre-drill the pipe anchor and install the gate with black 1¼" hex head screws (not included). Do not attempt to drive the pan head screws into the pipe anchor.

Step 16: Level the Gate

Level the gate to the fence post, then check that it swings and latches correctly. Mark where the latch catch needs to go. Level the gate against the fence post
