6' X 42" BOARD-ON-BOARD PRIVACY GATE – ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 2
Slide the rails onto the assembled pickets.
STEP 3
Place gate jambs on both sides of the rails. Ensure the rails are
fully inserted into the jambs.
Considering your swing direction, slide the hinged brackets and
non-hinged brackets onto the gate jambs in the center of the top
and bottom rails. Using the holes in the brackets as a guide, drill
¼" holes through the jamb and rail for the bolts. The bolts need to
go through the jamb and rail to function properly.
STEP 4
Insert the bolts into the predrilled holes and loosely attach the
nuts (these will be tightened later). Once all brackets are loosely
fastened, measure gate from corner-to-corner to ensure gate is
square. Adjust as necessary. When square, tighten all bolts with
a 7/16" wrench. Do not over-tighten as it may crush the gate jambs.

STEP 5
Align the rails on the gate with the rails on the existing fence. There
must be at least a 2" gap from ground to bottom rail for the gate to
function properly. Test swing direction before attaching brackets to
post.
Secure the gate in place with blocks under the gate or clamp the
jamb on the gate to the post. Adjust hinges to make sure the gate
is level and square. To adjust hinges, move hex nuts in or out as
needed and tighten with a wrench.
Attach hinged brackets to the hinge post with the provided screws.
Remove the blocks and clamps. Readjust hinges as needed so gate
is square and level with equal spacing between the gate and posts.
