For best results work on a clean at stable surface when mounting hinges to gates.
Fence gate drop rod installation.
I used deck screws suitable for treated wood to attach the straps.
Make positional adjustments as required so both drop rods fit into the end of the fence rail.
It depends on how hard or easy you want to go about this.
Thank you for your purchase of our estate residential fence and gate panels.
Most times it is a hole drilled in the concrete and a sleeve in there or just let the rod drop into the hole.
Close the gate and put the drop rods down the holes in the end of the fence rail.
I put one strap on the middle rail and one on the lower rail.
If it is bare dirt.
Either put in some 2 pvc and pour in some cement and put in a sleeve for the bolt to drop into that hole.
Hold the 1 2 conduit vertically against the gate and attach the straps.
For equal spacing we recommend the bottom hinge be placed 6 from the bottom gate upright and the top hinge be placed 6 from the top upright.
Place hinges at desired position on each gate.
Cane bolts drop rods cane bolts drop rods are used to lock a sliding or swinging gate into position by dropping a metal rod into a hole in the ground.
This is much easier to install on a large gate than a regular locking handle would be because you can make a larger hole to deal with alignment issues.
