codes may require a greater depth). Fence post shall be spaced according to on-center chart to accommodate installation of

fence sections to brackets with approved fasteners and techniques to insure that fence sections are parallel to grade within ¼”

post on both sides of a gate. For double drive gate installation, provide concrete center drop to foundation depth and drop rod
retainers at center. Lubricate to insure smooth operation and verify proper latch operation.
