WOODEN BI-FOLD GATES
How to Measure
Measuring for your new gate is actually a very simple process.
  If existing posts/ pillars are in place, take three horizontal measurements. Top, middle and bottom as shown below.

Make a note of the SMALLEST width.
** If you are replacing the posts, take a measurement of the whole opening width and reduce size by the width of the posts. For example: Opening width of 3m 460mm minus 2x posts (at 100mm wide each) = 3m 260mm.
To work out the size of the gates take the opening width you have between pillars/ posts and deduct the following to allow for hinges. This is assuming the gates are to be opening inwards. Please note: All flat top designs are available in 3, 4 or 5 leaf set-up. Bow top or curved top design is only available as a 4 leaf set-up.
3 x Leafs – minus 60mm from opening size
4 x Leafs – minus 80mm from opening size
5 x Leafs – minus 100mm from opening size
The above measurements allow 15mm clearance between the edge of gate and post/pillars, 20mm between 2 leafs attached with a strap hinge and 10mm for the clearance in the middle of the gates (where the two gates close in the middle).
