Single Vinyl Gate Installation

[@stuschmidt7355]

Where do you purchase the support brace, and what kind of screws do you use

[@msisodiya]

How did you install door with angle ? Need help

[@Supanova70]

do hinges always go to the lower end?

[@EM-tn2ps]

Well done I’m curious tho is the only reason you didn’t hinge on the house side due to the slope or would you have done the same on level ground. How do you prevent the post from bending from the gates weight?Is there a 4x4 post inside?

[@tonywilliams4764]

Their is a 16guage stell insert inside the post. I always hang my gate of the lower post. I try to avoid gate post against the house because the foundation pops out. It is doable but I will use tap cons or somthing to anchor it to the foundation if I have to

[@jerrymcatee4725]

How much did you shorten the water spigot pipe to be able to get the gate open?

[@tonywilliams4764]

The post against the house is 5" and clears the water spigot with out any issues.

[@929RRCBR]

@@tonywilliams4764 You can clearly see the gate hit the spigot a few times that's why you didn't open the gate fully.

[@tonywilliams4764]

When have you guys ever seen a 5" spigot? The vinyl post is 5" plus their is an additional 1" gaps so the spigot should be 6" plus right ??? LoL do your homework fellas.

[@929RRCBR]

@@tonywilliams4764 pause it at 9:22 in the video.. tell me that gate isn't hitting it? you couldn't open it..

[@jeannine.330]

Great video. I’m trying to order the fence online. Mine will be mounted like this one, to the house, but the other side to a post only (not to a fence). Would I use an end post for both sides of the gate?

[@tonywilliams4764]

It sounds like you need to blank post. Do you already have a side fence?

[@arthurcano8877]

Where can I buy a tan cross brace like this??

[@danieldelatorre7986]

Where can I order a sloped gate?

[@craftman5632]

Never do a slope gate it looks stupid,

[@hermiacraft310]

why wasnt the latch on the same side as the cross brace on the inside of the yard? thx.

[@tonywilliams4764]

Because the customer wanted the gate to swing out and it's a personal preference of mine to hind it in the back yard as I find it tacky

[@hermiacraft310]

@@tonywilliams4764 thx and isn't it also a safety thing, like a door's last locking from inside your home when you close up for the night..?

[@tonywilliams4764]

[@eddieb35]

It's important to know that your brace is on backwards.

[@tonywilliams4764]

This is the correct way to put the brace on. If you were to do it the opposite direction it wound just bow in the middle and be pointless to have.

[@jeremys959]

Not for vinyl fences

[@tonywilliams4764]

​@@jeremys959 Hang two gates do one my way and do one your way. Then pull down on the latch side of the gate. I bet your cross brace bends in the middle and goes done but mine doesn't

[@craftman5632]

I hate to see what the slope of the driveway is on that grade towards the garage to the street.

[@itsnotme328]

👍 is that in Washington state

[@tonywilliams4764]

Idaho

[@craftman5632]

Makes sense, hack job, you should have leveled the gate that looks stupid.

Where can I find that cross brace? I’ve been looking for months to fix my gate but I can’t find it or the name of it anywhere

[@tonywilliams4764]

I love these braces. We get them custom rolled and powder coated for us.

[@gulashonu]

What happened with that latch post? Cut? Pound down? Nice edit lol.

[@tonywilliams4764]

I'm not following you. The post is secured to the house?

[@gulashonu]

@@tonywilliams4764 it was taller early on in the vid. Good video btw. Vinyls are somewhat new to us as far as installing and can be quite finicky!

[@bowtie406]

Excellent video!! I'm in the process of doing this now. It will take me 4 hours to do what you did in a 10 Min Video.

[@ladylyonteeth3952]

I was told, if a gate is on a slope… the latch has to be on the other side, so the swinging action goes down hill. 😮 It not always the case apparently. Did the customer not say anything about trying to regrade the land so at the very least, the gate could be plumb? It’s understandable the fence would be racked, but the gate too? It’s all quite interesting.🤔 I haven’t ever installed a gate so this is all new to me.

[@cagamer4161]

Why is your camera guy get closer to see what are you talking about?

[@ericswallick7770]

Worst gate install ever. Level the ground. Mount the gate to the post closest to house, and Away from the pipe extending off house.

[@tonywilliams4764]

LoL, hey customer level off your ground so the water can flow tord your house. Haha wow

[@craftman5632]

I think he meant to say level the grade of the ground gradually away from the house not at 45°downgrade it just looks stupid.

[@929RRCBR]

Dude you should have made another video and deleted this one. Angle was wrong, post against the house was too tall, you then cut down the post and graded the dirt below to follow the gate (which would have been fine if you explained it).. Gate hit the spigot. On top of that you denied everything when called out below. It's all in your video.

[@tonywilliams4764]

Look at the siding on the house and the post height. It didn't move. Re-watch the video. That's what the crossbrace is for. The spigot thing you have got to be joking right? Who would actually believe that???

[@929RRCBR]

@@tonywilliams4764 Yea you're right. Now it just tells me the gate is that sloppy it had 4+ inches of sag in it.

You could have ( NOT ) made it more difficult if you tried to !!!! There is a much easier way of doing this !!!!

[@tonywilliams4764]

LoL, I think its pretty easy.
