1.
Determine Your Gate Opening:
Measure opening between posts where gate will
be located. Subtract 6
length you will cut your rails for gate (Fig. 1).
NOTE:
Maximum width of opening between posts is 48".
2.
Cut Rails To Desired Length:
Align bottom rail, top rail and top rail cap. Cut all
to same lengths with a fine-tooth carbide blade.
When marking the rails to be cut, you should have
equal spacing between the last baluster hole on
each side and your cut mark. This distance will be
the distance between the balusters on each side
and the gate uprights. A minimum of 1" is required
between the last balusters and gate uprights
during installation. If your marks on each end are
less than 1" from the baluster opening, you should
adjust your cut marks to remove one baluster and
ensure equal spacing on each end.
3.
Assemble Rails For Gate:
a. Place top and bottom rail on a smooth, flat and
clean surface. Then, align the top and bottom
rails so that the ridges inside the rails are
oriented on the same side (Fig. 2).
NOTE:
b. Insert all balusters through the square holes
in both top and bottom rails, making sure the
hole in each baluster goes in the same direction
facing the side with the two (2) small ridges (Fig. 3).
c. Make sure the balusters in the rails are about 2"
above the rail and in-line with each other (Fig. 3).
d. Snap in bumps from locking strip into holes of
the baluster for both top and bottom rails. Make
sure arrows on locking strip face rails (Fig. 4).
Arrows will point towards each other during
assembly. Run your fingers along both the rails
to ensure locking strip is fully engaged prior
to moving on to Step 4. Strips must be fully
engaged to lock balusters in place.
e. If the rails were cut shorter in Step 2, then there
will be some extra locking strip at the end of
install. Use scissors or a utility knife to trim off
the excess, while leaving approximately 2" after
the last engaged bump.
f. Pull the top and bottom rails towards ends,
guiding the rails over the locking strips until
snug.
g. Stand rail section up and fully lock balusters into
the rails. Place one foot on the top of the bottom
rail, between the second and third baluster
while at the same time placing a hand under the
bottom of the top rail between the second and
third baluster. Push with foot and pull with hand
until locking is completed. You should hear a
snap as the strip locks into the rail. Repeat this
process for the middle and the end of the panel
(Fig. 5 & 6).
NOTE:

There are two (2) ridges on both sides that
are different sizes.
If no snap is heard or felt, use a rubber
mallet to tap underneath of top rail to ensure
a full connection.
