Best DIY Permanent Gate Solution
Overall an excellent product that could take between two to five hours depending on your skills and experience with DIY repair and installation. I followed the instructions which were clear and well illustrated and took me close to three hours, not counting prep time and a related repair to an adjacent section of fence. All told, the project racked up ten hours of actual work not counting the driving to and fro to get extra supplies. If the prospect of doing all the prep and spending the better part of a day installing, then consider having a handyman install this. The great thing about the product itself is its sturdy build and leeway for variability in specifications like gate width (frame can accommodate 3 to 6 feet of width and between 4 to 6 feet high. Although it's likely to work best with no posts that are square to the ground, I was able to fit my gate to the opening on which one side had a post leaning outward into the opening, but the angle was not too severe so I did not have to re-seat the post. The hardest thing that you'll need to do is drill and secure the hinge anchors. I recommend drilling pilot holes of ever increasing diameters rather than trying to bore straight in with a spade bit. My posts are covered with vinyl sheathing so it was hard to get hole large enough for the anchors to go through the vinyl without making the bore too loose for the anchor. Once that was accomplished, the rest of the project flowed together and the gate swings nicely and latches securely. I'm very happy at the prospect of never having to replace the gate again, just do repairs when needed to the attached lumber.

Built the gate by myself, very pleased.
Built my gate today and very pleased. So pleased that I bought two more kits to replace my double gates on the other side of my house. Only four stars because poor instructions and had to purchase screws to replace the included screws. That did not stop me from buying two more kits. Some advice: Setting the hinges is critical, they must align. Be sure to drill horizontally and not at a slant. I used a 9/16 drill bit instead of the recommended 1/2 inch, which made the effort much easier and quicker, still rock solid. Cut the correct length of 2x4 lumber, then hammer it into the steel fittings on the unmounted uprights. Be sure it is square and then set screws in the bottom or top. No need to mount the gate yet, just set the lumber while on the ground, and get it square! Next, insert the telescoping rods and then secure those with screws. Buy 2 1/2 inch exterior wood screws (be sure compatible with pressure treated lumber) and use those. Do not use the included 2 inch screws, although these can be used with the smaller telescoping rods. The lumber and not the rods are what make the gate sturdy. Place all remaining screws in the lumber. Now hang the gate and continue. The rest of the project went as expected. I last hung the vertical 1/2 inch lumber slats using a single 2 inch exterior screw (also purchased separately) on the top and a 4D nail on the bottom.
