The Installation Manual

The full manufacturer’s manual - every drawing, every component, every step - broken up by the install you are actually doing. Find your combination below, read it on screen, or take just that section with you.

Two decisions, and the manual narrows to a handful of pages.

First, your fixing method - Channel Fit or Bracket Fit. Second, how your posts are fixed - core drilled into concrete, set inground, or on a base plate. Pick both and you only need one section. Gates are separate, and they are worth reading in full.

Channel Fit

Panels slide into channels fixed to the post. No visible brackets, zero gap.

Channel Fit hides the fixings: the channels screw to the posts and the panel slides in. Cleanest look, and no visible brackets.

Bracket Fit

Panels sit between brackets bolted to the post. The forgiving option.

Bracket Fit is the forgiving one. Brackets bolt to the posts and the panel sits between them, so slightly irregular posts or ground are much less of a problem.

Gates

Both latch types, with the compliance-critical measurements.

Gates are the part people most often get wrong, and the part an inspector looks at first. Hinge spacing, latch height and the allowance you leave are all in here.
