Fence
Wholesale fence, properly installed, is warranted to provide years of
durable, nearly maintenance free service. Every installation is unique and
requires decisions to be made, on the job, by the installer. Specific
performance requirements, soil conditions, climate conditions, and other
situations must be considered for each installation and are the sole
responsibility of the installer. Fence Wholesale is not responsible for
installation practices and procedures and this manual is not intended to
cover every circumstance that may be encountered. This manual only
contains methods of installations that have been proven successful in the
past and is not to be construed as the only possible way of installation.
If you
have specific questions about our products or their installation, please
call 1-866-525-9288 for technical assistance. |

require a setback from property line to fence line, otherwise, it is
recommended to be 2” inside the property line. It is important to
find out all the requirements before installing your fence. |

STEP 1
After digging holes for hinge and latch (single gate) posts, set posts in ground
– determine gate opening direction and line up hinge and latch holes
accordingly. Then back fill with concrete (See Diagram 1)
Note: See Diagrams 9 & 10 for proper spacing of hinge and latch posts.
STEP 2
Immediately level posts in both directions, and level height of posts using a
string (a sledgehammer and wood block may be used to lower posts if
necessary.)
STEP 3
Fasten hinges to posts by inserting upper cup (longer cup) into hole, push hinge
up as far as possible, thus allowing bottom of hinge to fit into hole – then
pull hinge down to engage bottom cup. (see diagram 2)
(For single gates,
the latch is inserted in the same manner )
STEP 4
Place gate on hinges as shown in Diagram 3.
Support gate on blocks or jacks, the check hinge post for level, level gate
while on blocks using adjusting nuts.
STEP 5
Set latch post to proper eight – see Diagram 4. (Even though latch post is set
in concrete, some up or down movement may still be achieved)
Note: the gate is only as good as the post it is installed on. A strong gate
post will help to eliminate gate sag and allow more fluid opening and closing.
STEP 6
Be sure that the ends on all incoming rails on hinge and latch posts are sealed
with tape to prevent concrete from running into rails.
Fill hinge posts with concrete to a point just above the upper hinge.
*Reinforce the concrete inside post with #4 re-bar when gate length exceed 4’0”.
*Use a concrete mixture of good “firm” consistency, not too ”soupy”.
*Do not use mortar mix

STEP 7
Fill latch post with concrete to a point just above latch (re-bar may be used
for added strength) (See Diagram 6)
If the installation is a double gate, repeat step 6 for other post.
Allow concrete to set before removing date supports (48 – 72 hrs)
Note: some seepage of concrete may occur around hinges, latches, or rails. This
may be cleaned off by using a damp sponge or cloth.

STEP 8
After concrete has set, remove blocks from gate. Use the ½” adjusting nuts to
take up any sag in gate for to level gate if needed. Be sure to allow enough
clearance between gate and post to allow full opening of gate or gates. (See
diagram 7) Refer to Diagrams 9 and 10 for proper clearance settings.
Place snap-lock caps on hinge
and latch posts.
DOUBLE GATE LATCH WITH CANE BOLT
For double gates, the latch and canebolt will be shipped preassembled. It is
recommended that a ¾” X 6” long pipe be set in concrete or ground as a
receptacle for the cane bolt. (See Diagram 8)
