How to Measure

INFORMATION

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.

How-to-measure-side gate and garden gate width

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 1m 260mm minus 2x posts (at 50mm wide each) = 1m 160mm.

Next, decide how the gate will hang and reduce width accordingly. The is by far the most popular option.

Option 1: Gate hanging on the rear of posts/ pillars. Main advantage of this set up is the reduced gap that is visible between the gate edge and post.

Calculate-width-of-metal-framed-garden-or-side-gate

To calculate gate width: Take the lowest measurement and reduce by 50mm (2″).

Option 2: Gate mounted in alley way or similar.

Calculate-width-of-metal-framed-garden-or-side-gate

This set up example would be used if placing the gate in an alley way or similar. The allowance on the hinge side is greater and does create a visible see through section.

Reduce 100mm (or 4″) from your lowest measurement.

Please note: If purchasing metal posts with your gate, hinge pins will be welded to the post. If not, we supply hinge pin plates for you to fix to existing posts/ pillars.
