For optimal performance and aesthetics, we recommend a walk

gate width of 40". For vertical picket installation, this is accom-

plished utilizing the width of 5 Overland pickets. For horizontal

picket installation, this is accomplished by trimming 8 Overland

pickets to 36".

STEP 1

Measure the opening where your gate is to be installed. Gate width

will need to be reduced by 1-1/4" to allow for a 5/8" gap on both

sides of the gate between the posts.

STEP 2

Assemble the full Overland panel on a clean, ﬂat surface with the

pickets installed in the orientation you desire (vertical or horizontal).

You will not use the 2 U-channels included with the fence panel.

STEP 3

Measure and mark the fence panel to the desired size. The fence

panel will need to be trimmed 3-1/2" less than the desired gate width

to allow for the dimensions of the gate jambs. For ease of assembly

with vertical pickets, it is recommended to utilize full fence pickets. If

a picket does need to be trimmed to length, the rough edge should

be placed inside the gate jamb.

STEP 4

Remove the rails from the pickets. Trim top and bottom fence rails

and pickets (if necessary) to the desired width using a circular saw

with a ﬁne-tooth blade or a hand saw. The fence rails have tabs on

each end for installation into the fence posts. The tabbed ends must

be trimmed off the panel to create a ﬂat face for the installation of the

gate jambs. See Fig. 2.

Note: For assembly using the Overland Panel, see next section.

For optimal performance and aesthetics, we recommend a walk

gate width of 40-1/2". This is accomplished utilizing the width of

4 pickets from the Dover fence panel.

STEP 1

Measure the opening where your gate is to be installed. Gate

width will need to be reduced by 1-1/4" to allow for a 5/8" gap on

both sides of the gate between the posts.

STEP 2

Dover panels are offered as a fence kit or as a preassembled panel.

If you have a Dover fence kit, assemble the full Dover panel on a

clean, ﬂat surface. If you have a preassembled panel, lay it on a

clean, ﬂat surface.

STEP 3

Measure and mark the Dover fence panel to the desired size. The

fence panel will need to be trimmed 3-1/2" less than the desired

gate width to allow for the dimensions of the gate jambs. For ease

of assembly, it is recommended to utilize full fence pickets. If a

picket does need to be trimmed to length, the rough edge should

be placed inside the gate jamb.

STEP 4

Remove the rails from the pickets. Trim top and bottom fence rails

and pickets (if necessary) to the desired width using a circular saw

with a ﬁne-tooth blade or a hand saw. The fence rails have tabs

on each end for installation into the fence posts. The tabbed ends

must be trimmed off the panel to create a ﬂat face for the installa-

tion of the gate jambs. See Fig. 2.
