Cottage Picket Gate Installation

STEP ONE

A

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.

B

Hold the rails into the post and now insert the rails into the other post

C

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 Arbor, you will need to
trim 1/4" off of the end of each of the rails in order to make the gate

smaller to fit the narrower opening.

Bottom Rail

Install 2 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 1/16")
