Installation Guide
4'X42" ARCHED SPACED PICKET GATE
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AND INSTALLATION TIPS
Continue to push the picket through the bottom rail into the throat and
hole of the second rail (fig. 3). The second rail becomes the top rail of
the assembly. Stop when the tab in the bottom rail and the notch on
the picket align. DO NOT SNAP INTO PLACE.
Continue this process until all pickets are inserted into the rails with the
tabs and notches aligned (fig. 4).
Once all the pickets are in place, snap the rails into all the picket
notches using your hands or gently tap with a rubber mallet (fig. 5).

NOTE: PicketLock
™
is a patented 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.
PREPARATION:
Check local ordinances and regulations before
building your fence. Before construction, contact your local utility
companies to mark any underground cables and pipelines. In
addition, it is a good idea to discuss plans with any neighbors
along your proposed fence line.
Take one of the rails and gently open up the throat with your hand or a
wooden wedge (fig. 1). This will become the bottom rail of the assembly.
Insert a picket into the throat of the rail and proceed through the
routered hole as shown. DO NOT SNAP INTO PLACE (fig. 2).

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 four (4) necessary 1/4" holes for the bracket bolts.
Repeat these steps for the hinged brackets as well (fig. 6). 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.
