Installation Instructions

Setting Posts
Assembling the Gate
Fig 2. Setting Posts
1. Dig or auger post holes. The 4" x 4" Vinyl Posts require a
10" DIAMETER HOLE, and must be at least 30"
BELOW GRADE. In frost regions, the post holes should
be deep enough to extend below the frost line.
2. The gate can be set up for Right or Left swing. The post
that will be used as your Hinge Side MUST HAVE A 4" x
4" TREATED WOOD POST INSERT for greater
strength. (See Fig 2.)
3. Insert the post into the hole, be sure it is square
and in-line with your string layout.
4. Pour concrete around the post approximately
6" at a time. Tamp to eliminate air pockets, and
continually check for level.
5. Before the concrete sets, sight down the fence
line to be sure all posts align, and are at the same
height. High posts can be driven deeper by placing
a wooden block across the top and tapping down
with a hammer. Allow concrete to set 24-48 hours.

Installing Gate
1. Align the T
op and Bottom Rails of the
Assembled Gate with the rails of the
existing fence. There must be adequate
clearance from the bottom rail to the
ground as well. (See Fig 3.)
2. Use clamps to hold Hinged Brackets (D)
against the Hinge Post. Pre-drill and
install screws in both Hinged Brackets.
3. Adjust the hinges as necessary so the
gate is equally spaced between both
posts. (See Fig 4.)
Installing Striker & Latch
1. Attach Striker (B) to the Gate in desired
location. Using the Striker as a guide
mount the Latch (C) to the Latch Post.
The Latch is set up for Right-Hand swing.
To reverse this, remove the spring and 2
bolts, flip the base and reinstall.
