7 ottage Picket Gate Installation STEP ONE Top Rail ottom Rail Lay out one of the posts on its side, with holes facing up, and insert the two rails. The bottom rail (holes routed one side only) goes into the hole that is closest to the end of the post. Now insert the top rail into the other hole. Hold the rails into the post and now insert the rails into the other post Lay the assembly down on a flat surface and use a square to check the inside corners. Make sure that each rail is bottomed out inside the posts. Note: If you have purchased the Yorkshire rbor, you will need to trim /" off of the end of each of the rails in order to make the gate smaller to fit the narrower opening. D Install screws into each of the four places where the rail goes into the post. Install screws on diagonal (as shown). Note: Screws are self tapping but if you have any difficulty getting them started, pre-drill a small pilot hole first (no larger then /6") Make sure rails are bottomed out inside the posts.

8 STEP TWO Hinges and Latch Installation Now determine which way your gate is going to open in your arbor. This will help you determine which side of the gate to install the hinge on. fter you have determined which edge of the gate post the hinges are going to be installed on, turn the gate so that the screws you installed in D on the previous page are facing down. This way these screws will not be in the way when putting on the hinge. Separate the hinges (part ) into two halves. Place the half with the eye holes onto the gate post, centering it at the end of the top rail as illustrated. Pre-drill each pilot hole, then attach the hinge with the black screws provided in the hinge kit. s in the previous step, place one half of the hinge onto the gate post. The second hinge should be installed 6 / down from the top hinge (see illustration ). This hinge will be installed above where the bottom rail goes into the gate post. ttach with screws provided in hinge kit. enter the gate latch (part 6) at the end of the top rail opposite where the hinge was attached. Install as close to the outside of the post as possible. Fasten the latch to the post using the screws from the latch kit. Install screws to attach where the rail goes into the post (as in page - D) note: you will not need to install white screw into gate on top rail where the hinge is attached.

9 ottage Picket Gate Installation STEP THREE Slip each picket (part ) through the top rail and into the bottom rail. Start with the shortest picket(s) in the center, and end with the two longest pickets on each side. Place one of the remaining halves of the hinge against the inside wall of the arbor post just above the base molding. Using the same method in step, attach the hinge to the post. If your arbor does not have base moldings, mount the hinge approximately 8 up from the bottom of the post. Note: We recommend using wood inside the arbor post to create a stronger attachment for the gate. Repeat for the other hinge. Make sure the distance between the two hinges is equal to that in step (6 / ). Lift the completed gate and line up the hinges. arefully guide the long bolts on the gate hinges through the eye holes on the gate hinges. 9 Dove St., Port Huron MI US 8060 Toll Free Phone: Toll Free Fax:

10 STEP FOUR djusting Gate Insert the bolt sleeve between the eye holes before sliding the long bolts completely through. Thread the / nuts over the end of each bolt and tighten with a wrench. Note: to center your gate in the arbor opening, adjust the hinge nuts as needed. Set a level across the top rail to make sure the gate is hanging level. You may need to adjust the hinge nuts again to achieve this. Once the gate is level, position the latch catch onto the arbor post and mark out the hole locations. Pre-drill the holes (use /8 drill bit - purchased separately) and fasten the latch catch to the arbor post using the black screws provided with the latch kit. D If latch does not catch into the latch catch properly, you can adjust the hinges by loosening the nuts on either side of the hinge bolt. lose the gate so that the latch is in the latch catch then adjust the nuts as necessary to have the gate hang in position properly. If any other adjustments are needed, repeat as necessary. Gate should swing and close into latch smoothly. Level 9 Dove St., Port Huron MI US 8060 Toll Free Phone: Toll Free Fax:

12 ottage Picket Wings Installation STEP ONE Lay out one of the posts (part ). Measure 8 from one end of the post and put a mark. enter the rail mount bracket (part 8) on the post, with the open end at the 8 mark. Using two screws, fasten the bracket to the post as illustrated. Repeat this for the second post. Note: ll screws are selftapping and require no pre-drilling. Take one of the posts and measure 9 from the same end of the post as in step. Put a mark on the post at this distance. Slip one of the base moldings (part 7) onto the opposite end of the post as illustrated. Slide it up the post until the top edge of the molding is at the 9 mark. enter another rail mount bracket on the base molding, keeping the open end of it tight against the raised lip of the base molding trim. Fasten the bracket in place using two screws. Repeat steps through for the other post. Note: The distance between the two brackets should measure approximately 8 / when finished. 9 Dove St., Port Huron MI US 8060 Toll Free Phone: Toll Free Fax:

13 STEP TWO Insert the bottom rail (part ) into the bracket on the base molding. Make sure the holes in the rail are facing towards the second bracket on the post. Using one screw, secure the rail in place through the side wall of the bracket as illustrated. Repeat this for the opposite side wall. Insert the top rail (part ) into the second bracket, making sure the larger sized holes in the rail are facing towards the bottom rail. Secure the rail as described in the previous step. Note: The holes in the rail are approx. /8 larger on one side to allow for proper alignment of the pickets when mounting. Repeat steps and for the remaining post and rails. reak open one bundle of pickets (part ). Start with the picket at the furthest end of the rails, and insert each one in decending order, ending with two 9 / pickets at the post. Make sure the tabs on the end of the pickets snap into the bottom rail. Open the second bundle of pickets and repeat for the opposite wing panel. ottom Rail is only routed on the one side Top rail is routed on both sides: The larger opening faces the bottom rail. 9 Dove St., Port Huron MI US 8060 Toll Free Phone: Toll Free Fax:

14 STEP THREE Determine which side of your arbor the wings will be attached to. Fasten a rail mount bracket to the outside of the arbor base molding in the same manner as described in step one (c). Note: If your arbor does not have a base mold, install bracket directly on arbor (). You will need to use / filler () as bottom rail is shorter to allow for base mold. Using two screws, fasten a second bracket to the outside of the arbor post as illustrated. The distance between the brackets on the arbor post must equal the distance measured between the brackets on the wing post. Repeat steps and for the arbor side panel. Using the distances shown, mark out each hole location on both sides of the arbor. Dig out two 6 deep holes. / Filler (used when no base trim is present on the arbor post).

15 STEP FOUR Lower the wing post into the hole, while slipping each rail end into the corresponding bracket on the arbor post. check the top rail for level, and adjust the depth of the hole if needed. Secure the rail ends to the brackets as described in step (a), and fill in the hole (for added stability, use pre-mix concrete). Repeat this step for the opposite wing panel. Note: The bottom of the wing post base molding should be at ground level when finished. pply a generous amount of vinyl glue around the post. Note: The vinyl glue should be applied below the top of the picket cap level as shown. Slip one trim cap (part 6) over the end of each post. Slide each cap down until the top edge is level with the top of the first picket. pply a bead of vinyl cement to the underside of each post cap (part ). To ensure proper attachement to the post, apply the cement to all internal contact points of the cap. Place the caps onto the end of each post and push down firmly until the end of the post bottoms out on the inside of the cap. llow a few minutes for the cement to cure.
