Ornamental Fencing Installation
to erect your fence
1. Make a drawing of your property. Give dimensions of each side and indicate gate locations (see figure 1).
2. Set posts (ends, lines, gates, corners) in concrete, 1.5” higher than the height of the
fence. Post height may change if landscape is not level.
3. When setting posts for 4’h and 5’h fence panels, space exactly 98.5” centre to
centre when possible. When setting posts for 3’h fence panels, space exactly 72”
centre to centre when possible.
4. Attach the panels to the posts with required brackets. Level panels by adjusting
brackets between posts.
5. Cut posts if required to proper height. Install post caps.
TO INSTALL YOUR GATE
Gate posts are to be set with 42” spacing between posts. Attach post collars
to desired gate post by inserting the hinge bolts as shown. Point the bottom hinge bolt upward and the top hinge bolt
downward to prevent the gate from being lifted off. Attach gate collars on gate as shown. Adjust finger up or down to
achieve proper latching.
SELF CLOSING SPRING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Decide where the spring closure will be installed for your application using the following guidelines: (A or B)
-when the gate opens towards you;
A) if the hinges are on the right side, the spring apparatus will be installed on the bottom right with the hinge bolt pointing up.
B) if the hinges are on the left side, the spring apparatus will be installed on the top left inverted (hinge bolt pointing down).
Loosely install (2 times) the 2 piece gate frame collars on the gate frame with the nuts and bolts provided at a 90 degree
angle to the frame of the gate.
Place one of the 2 piece 2”x2” square post collar at the desired height on the post.
Insert one hinge pin through the holes securing with the nuts provided. Note-lower hinge pin should point up and upper
hinge pin should point down so gate can not be lifted off hinge pins.
Rest the end of the spring (that is not in the flat bar adjuster) against the 1”x1” gate frame and insert the threaded hinge
through the 2”x2” post collar, tighten nuts until just secure.
Install the 2”x2” finger catch on the post and the 1”x1” finger on the gate frame at the desired height.
Pull or push the flat bar on the spring apparatus to apply desired tension on the spring. Secure the nuts on either side of
the tension adjust bar when desired tension is acquired. (note-proper tension is acquired when the 2”x2” catch accepts the
1”x1” finger without slamming.)
NOTE: For pool fence installations, please check your local pool bylaws regarding proper fence requirements in your area.
