Cut rails to needed length:
1
Measure opening between posts where gate will be
located. Subtract 2" from opening. This is the length
you will cut your rails for gate (Fig. 1).
NOTE:
Maximum width of opening between posts is 48".
Align top rail with bottom rail and cut both rails with
miter box or hacksaw (See saw blade manufacturer's
specs for correct blade) (Fig. 2).
Prior to cutting, be sure the spacing from the end of the
rail to the rst routed hole is the same on both ends,
which will allow for the gate balusters to be installed in
proportion.
NOTE:
Rails will insert into gate pockets 1¾". Be sure to
allow clearance, which means the cut may go over
a baluster hole.
Assemble rails for gate:
2
a. Lay bottom rail on a clean smooth surface and
snap balusters into routed holes (Fig. 3).
b. Repeat the process to connect the top rail
(Fig. 4).
Permanently attach rails to uprights:
3
a. Open glue and spread evenly into all 4 gate
pockets (Fig. 5).
b. Insert uprights on to assembled rail panel
at each end (Fig. 6).
c. Using #10 2½" panhead square drive screws
provided, drive 2 screws through gate pockets
and rails to lock system together (Fig. 7).
