Slip each picket (part 4) through the top rail and into the bottom rail.
Start with the shortest picket(s) in the center, and end with the two
longest pickets on each side.
Place one of the remaining halves of the hinge against the inside wall
of the arbor post just above the base molding. Using the same method
in step 2, attach the hinge to the post. If your arbor does not have base
moldings, mount the hinge approximately 8” up from the bottom of
the post. Note: We recommend using wood inside the arbor post to
create a stronger attachment for the gate. Repeat for the other hinge.
Make sure the distance between the two hinges is equal to that in step
2 (16 1/2”).
Lift the completed gate and line up the hinges. Carefully guide the
long bolts on the gate hinges through the “eye holes” on the gate
hinges.
