1.
Cut rails to needed length:
Measure opening between posts where gate will
be located. Subtract 6" 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 first routed hole is the same on
both ends, which will allow for the gate balusters
to be installed in proportion.
2.
Assemble rails for gate:
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).
3.
Permanently attach brackets to rails:
a. Slide brackets onto ends of bottom rail (Fig. 5).
b. For top rail, pre-drill one hole underneath
bracket with a
flat head screw (provided in bracket kit) (Fig. 6).
Do this for each top rail bracket.
c. For bottom rail, pre-drill two holes underneath
bracket ¼" back from front edge with a
drill bit (2 per bracket). Secure with two (2) 1"
screws (provided in gate kit) for each bottom rail
bracket (Fig. 7).
