Open Top Picket Gate Component list

Closed Top Picket Gate Component list

Lay gate components on a smooth, flat, and clean surface. Begin by arranging the rails in the correct orientations. For gates with U-Channels, slide U-Channels onto end boards (Fig. 1).

For Full Privacy Styles

•  Slide the boards into the bottom rail, starting and ending with end boards while locking each of them together (Fig. 2).
•  Slide the top rail over the boards (Fig. 2).

**For Lattice Top, Open Picket Top, And Closed Picket Top

Styles**

•  Slide the boards into the bottom rail, starting and ending with end boards while locking each of them together (Fig. 2).
•  Slide the middle rail over the boards.
•  Insert lattice/pickets into the middle rail (Fig. 3).
• Slide the top rail over the lattice/pickets (Fig. 3).

1.  Apply provided vinyl cement to all inside surfaces of the uprights where the rails will be installed (Fig. 4).
2.  Attach uprights to rails (Fig. 5). Ensure the gate is square.

Measure diagonally from the top of the left corner rail (A) to the bottom of the right corner rail (B) and note the length. Then, measure diagonally from top of right corner rail (C) to bottom of left corner rail (D). Note the length. Make sure both measurements are the same before installing screws into uprights (Fig. 6).

Install two 6″ screws (provided) through each upright insert and into the rail using the molded grooves on the insert as a guide (Fig. 7).

Install upright caps onto the top of each upright with remaining vinyl cement (Fig. 8).

Attaching Barrette Outdoor Living® Hinge To The Upright

•  Attaching the hinges to the inside of the gate will allow the gate to open inward. When attaching them to the outside, the gate will swing outward.

• Mark and pre-drill 3⁄32″ pilot holes on top and bottom upright. Secure using six 11⁄2″ screws
  (provided with the hinge) to front and side of the upright (Fig. 9).

• Repeat for the bottom hinge.

Hold the gate level to the post, pre-drill holes with 3⁄32″ bit, and secure with six 11⁄2″ screws to the post (Fig. 10). Repeat for the bottom hinge.
NOTE: Use 2″ blocks to align the gate with the fence and help hold the gate steady (Fig. 11).

Install Barrette Outdoor Living® Latch

•  Hold latch against the side of the post and mark locations of pilot holes, as shown (Fig. 12).
•  Drill four 3⁄32″ pilot holes into the post.
•  Place four 1″ screws (provided with a latch) through the screw holes on the larger, side-surface of the post plate (Fig. 13).
• Place the four spacers onto the screws (on the opposite side of the post plate), so they will be between the post plate and the post when the post plate is mounted (Fig. 13).
•  Secure latch to side of post with four 1″ Phillips screws (Fig. 14).

Install Striker Bar

•  Close the gate and insert the striker bar into the latch, while holding it firmly against the gate.
•  Mark pilot holes through the screw holes (Fig. 15).
•  Remove striker bar and drill 3⁄32″ pilot holes.
•  Place striker bar on the gate and secure with six 1″ Phillips screws (provided with a latch).
  A padlock can be placed through the holes at the top of the latch for added security.

Finishing Options

Add a Barrette Outdoor Living® gate handle and a Barrette Outdoor Living® gate stop (sold separately) to prolong the life of your gate (Fig. 16).
