3.2 INSTALLING THE LOAD BEARING BOX
a) For Existing Gates with Fixed Hinges:
• Remove the gate.
• Remove the bottom hinge.
If the gate cannot be removed, place blocks under its bottom
edge to support it.
Depending on the nature of the ground, it may be necessary to
cast a bed of quick-setting concrete at the bottom of the hole to
avoid subsidence in future.
