pad. Using a carpenters angle measure down 2” from the leading edge (nearest the gate)
and 1 ¼” from the right side edge. Mark this location.
2. For the second stud location measure down 2” from the leading edge and 23 ½” from the
center of the fist stud location Mark this
location.
3. For the third stud location use the carpenters
angle to measure done 10 ½” from the first
location squaring the hole location to the first
two locations
4. For the last stud location use the carpenters
angle to measure done 10 ½” from the second
location squaring the hole location to the first
two locations.
When locations are complete a 23 ½” x 10 ½”
rectangular location pattern spaced 2 inches
from the leading edge.
5. Install 3/8-16 x 6” threaded studs in the marked
