PLANNING: Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory
agency for special code requirements in your area. Contact your util-
ity supplier to locate and mark underground lines.
Careful planning and measuring of your fence project is essential, as
moving posts after the concrete sets is extremely difficult
NOTE: PicketLock
™
is a
patent-pending technology
that provides a glue- and
fastener-free connection
between the pickets and
rails. You may spray soapy
water onto components to
help them slide more easily
into their corresponding
channels. A non-marring
rubber mallet may also
be used to gently tap
components more firmly
into place.
Take the bottom rail and align one of the pickets with the channel in
the bottom rail. Slide the picket into the channel (fig. 1).
Begin to insert the remaining pickets into the channel of the bottom rail
(fig. 2). Because the pickets have a tongue-and-groove design, be sure
to insert each in the same direction. Tightly align the tongue of each
picket into the groove of the next one as they slide into the channel.
Continue to slide the pickets to the opposite side of the bottom rail
until all are inserted into the channel.
Actual size: 68-1/2"h x 41-1/2"w
Insert the lattice channels on both ends of the lattice between the top
rail and H-rail (fig. 6).
Place gate jambs on both sides of the rails and place the hinges on
the gate jamb so they are aligned with the rails. Using the bracket as
a guide, drill the three (3) necessary 1/4" holes for the bracket bolts.
Repeat these steps for the hinged brackets as well (fig. 7). Ensure the
rails are fully inserted in the jamb before drilling. The bolts need to go
through the jamb and rail to function properly.
Slide the hinged bracket and bracket on the top and bottom of the gate
jambs. Attach hinges to jambs with the supplied through bolts. Connect
bolts with the supplied cap nuts. Ensure the gate is square before all
bolts are tight. When square, tighten all bolts with a 7/16" wrench.
