Madison Vinyl Picket Gate
GENERAL INFORMATION
1 - Read Over Fence Instructions First
Your gate and fence will work better together as an integrated
fence instructions.
2 - Pre-Assemble the Gate Frame
(without pickets)
This will ensure three things:
a) That you have everything necessary to complete the gate.
b) That you will have assembled the gate in the correct order.
It’s easier to trouble shoot when things are not screwed together.
3 - Ideally, Install Your Gate Posts Before Your Fence Posts
Your fence panels will be more forgiving for a custom t than your gate. Ideally, position and install your
gate posts before you do anything else, or very early on in the process of setting up your fence run.
4 - Ideally, Do Not Hang Your Gate System By Itself (With no
other fence panels)
Your gate will perform better and last longer if the fence assembly that supports the hinge side of the gate
is connected in-line with another fence assembly. See illustration below. The weight strain will be transferred
unto two posts versus just one. Installing fence panels on both sides of your gate is the ideal in all situations.
d) The gate height and width measure similar to drawing on Page 1.

Use Zippity clips to attach the gate to the fence panel posts.

Assemble the Gate Frame
Orientate the posts so the tab is facing up as illustrated.
Insert the post down through the top and bottom horizontal
rails as illustrated.
Note that the underside of the bottom rail only has two holes
as shown.
Align the pre-drilled holes in the horizontal rails with the
pre-drilled holes in the vertical posts and fasten together with
FOUR short screws for the bottom rail and THREE screw for
the top rail.
Starting with one inside corner, place the corner bracket
against the horizontal and vertical posts as shown.
Fasten corner bracket with two short screws into the horizontal
rail.
Fasten with two more screws into the vertical posts.
Repeat for all four inside corners.
