Items you may need:
• Soapy water
• Non-marring
rubber mallet
• Wooden wedge
NOTE: PicketLock
is a patented technology that provides a glue-
™
and fastener-free connection between the pickets and rails. You
may spray soapy water onto components to help them slide more
easily into their corresponding channels. A non-marring rubber
mallet may also be used to gently tap components more firmly
into place.
PREPARATION:
Check local ordinances and regulations before
building your fence. Before construction, contact your local utility
companies to mark any underground cables and pipelines. In
addition, it is a good idea to discuss plans with any neighbors
along your proposed fence line.
SOMERSET 6'X42" PRIVACY GATE
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ACTUAL SIZE: 68.5 in. H x 41.5 in. W
• Power drill
• 1/4" drill bit
• 7/16" wrench
• Shims
Take the bottom rail and align one of the pickets with the channel in
the bottom rail. Slide the picket into the channel (fig. 1).
Begin to insert the remaining pickets into the channel of the bottom rail
(fig. 2). Because the pickets have a tongue-and-groove design, be sure
to insert each in the same direction. Tightly align the tongue of each
picket into the groove of the next one as they slide into the channel.
Continue to slide the pickets to the opposite side of the bottom rail
until all are inserted into the channel.

At the top of the gate assembly, slide the second rail over the top of
the pickets (fig. 3).
Place gate jambs on both sides of the rails place the hinges on the
gate jamb so they are aligned with the rails. Using the bracket as a
guide, drill the four (4) necessary ¼" holes for the bracket bolts. Repeat
these steps for the hinged brackets as well (fig. 4). Ensure the rails are
fully inserted in the jamb before drilling. The bolts need to go through
the jamb and rail to function
properly.
Slide the hinged bracket and
bracket on the top and bottom
of the gate jambs. Attach hinges
to jambs with the supplied
through bolts. Connect bolts
with the supplied cap nuts.
Ensure the gate is square
before all bolts are tight. When
square, tighten all bolts with a
7/16" wrench.
