EASYGATE ASSEMBLY GUIDE
Each EasyGate is essenally made up of four sets of components -
1. Main outer frame secons with concealed xing channel.
2. Corner stakes to strengthen the gate.
3. The inll slats. Every slat will require two xing points to each side of the channel.
4. Clip on covers for the concealed xing channels to hide all fasteners.
Note—You may also have joining or bracing secons dependent on design and gate size.
Step one is to assemble sides 1,2 and 3 of the main frame with the outer face laying down onto a at and level protecve surface and the
inside (xing side) facing up by inserng two of the corner stakes to give the frame a rough "U" shape (do not x any points at this stage).
Next carefully start to slide your inll slats into posion taking note of any paern or design unl they are all in rough posion (do not
worry too much about measuring gaps at this point as that will come later).
To complete the main frame and loose setup insert the corner stakes into main frame secon number 4 and assemble with sides 1 & 3.
Now use a tape measure to measure diagonally from corner to corner. The aim of this is to get both diagonal measurements equal which
means the gate main frame is square. By carefully moving your main frame you should be able to achieve square and your corners should
all be nicely aligned. It is now that you can fasten the main frame to each corner stake at four points on each corner - two securing each
secon of frame to the corner stake. We suggest using a 6-4 countersunk head rivet but some prefer self drilling screws. Your main frame
should now be more stable but sll not s.
In most cases your desired paern may not give you a perfect gap measurement and consideraon needs to be given here to fastening
your rst inll slat. Spend a lile me measuring and doing the maths to ensure your rst slat is in the correct posion as this will be the
point from which every other slat posion is measured. NB: On wide gates where braces are required ensure that the top and boom slat
are both secured inside the top and boom main frame channel. Once you have this slat in posion fasten through the channel into the
slat at two posions on each end of the slat. Suggest - Truss head rivet 4-2 but self drilling screws are ne.
Now you can simply adjust each slat in turn using a packer the same dimension as your desired gap to separate your slats. Fasten each
slat at two points at each end. Every three or four slats use both a tape measure to ensure you are maintaining the correct paern.
Last thing you need to do is snap over your cover to conceal your xings. Please note that the covers are slightly longer on one side and
the long side goes to the outside of the channel.
If your gate requires slat braces these can now be posioned as required and one rivet into each slat starng with the top and the boom
slat for correct posion. Because the top and boom salt are secured in the top and boom channel once fully riveted the brace will e
everything together and provide more stability.

TIPS N TRICKS
* If your paern is vercal instead of horizontal
assemble sides 1,2 and 4 in step one.
* Check your frame corners are free of any swarth or
burrs and the corners slide in smoothly. Alight tap is
acceptable but heavy hammering is not required.

EASYGATE BRACE INSTALLATION
On wide gates with horizontal slats it is necessary to install a brace/s to prevent slat sag and also
to reinforce the whole gate.
When using braces it is important to have the top and boom slats secured into the top and
boom main frames.
Slat braces should be posioned at equal distances to provide best eect.
Secure the brace using one rivet into each slat starng with the top and the boom slat for
correct posion. Because the top and boom salt are secured in the top and boom channel once
fully riveted the brace will e everything together and provide more stability.
