Adjust-A-Gate Full Frame Gate Fence Kit, Fits 36-60" Openings & Up to 5-6', Black - Heavy-Duty Outdoor Reinforcement & Accessories for Gates and Fences

I've built many many gates from scratch over the years, but I decided I needed something a little more heavy duty for the 6 ft gate I wanted to build to give me more room for my z-turn mower. This product is simply outstanding. The instructions are straight forward and the gate lets you easily deal with the challenges you can run in to when adding a new gate to an existing fence line. Well worth the money!!

I buy products on Amazon just about every day but this is my first review. I feel compelled to write about this product. I finished installing these gates today and I am in love. I bought three of them: 2 for a double and a single. The price is high but it's worth every penny in my opinion. 1. The gate is lightweight, hollow aluminum without losing strength. It looks like gym equipment material. I have helped install a custom fabricated metal gate and they are heavy which makes the whole thing just that more cumbersome to work with but also increases sag. The adjust a gate system is easy to work with and I installed the whole thing solo. 2. Flexible - this is the real power of this gate. I had to have my gates to a precise width and height. I had a top rail cap on my fence and I wanted the gate to match the fence; therefore I had to be precise. If I had something fabricated instead of this product and my measurements were off by a hair:; it would all be a waste. This gate served this purpose beautifully. 3. Comes with everything you need. I read online that the hardware (screws , wire support, latch) were bad. I was shocked when I felt the screws, latch etc. and determined this to be of great quality for a kit. I do wish they had a few extra metal screws because I used a lot for my latch system and ran out. 4. Packaged well - my 3 were all in white boxes packages in a brown cardboard box. All items were there. 5. Hinges are installed on the inside of your posts. Take a second to understand what that means because I didn't /wouldn't. This is beneficial because gravity keeps the gates on the hinge bolts and you can lift the entire gate if you need to for replacement or to get a large vehicle in or whatever. This type of hinges also are very strong and swing very well and quietly compared to other types. The hinges are recommended to be installed on the back 1" of the posts and open in. I didn't do that on my double gate because I used 6x6 posts and wanted the pickets to line up from fence to gate. My double gate will therefore not open all the way which is not a big deal for me as I absolutely wanted the front of the pickets to line up.Things to note: 1. Instructions could go in a little greater detail in a few areas. 2. Make sure you have a 1/2" spade bit for the hinges. You will need to go pretty far into the post with the spade bit for the hinges. For a 4x4 post, you go just short of going through the whole post. 3. If you want a professional looking gate that is lightweight, strong, and most of all flexible so that you can adjust not only for sag but for building it; I recommend this gate. 5 stars

Great and easy to install

I purchased two Adjust-A-Gates to create a double-door entry to allow storage of my trailer within my fenced in yard. They were purchased and installed in May 2012. I wanted to wait a few fonths to see how they held up before reviewing.To ensure the gates were not extended to their limits I spaced my gate posts about 9'-6" apart. I am glad I did. At that spacing I had to cut the 2"x4" braces to about 54" long. At that length, the gate was near it's limits. I do not see how you could effectively get a 60" gate without having gaps in the intermediate member and gate end members. Therefore I give the gate a rating of 4 stars.That issue aside, installation was relatively simple for one person. The boxes were slightly damaged upon arrival but all contents were there and the coatings in perfect shape. I found that laying all the components out at the job site to be extremely useful. The instructions are adequate as once you see the gate laid out installation would become obvious to most. The hinge pin installation was the most difficult part. Unless you have forearms of steel, ensure you have a length of pipe that will slide over the pin giving you a mechanical advantage when turning it into the post. I did not...a crescent wrench barely did the job the last few turns.TIP: Place a liberal amount of grease on the pins before setting gate on hinge pinsThe rest of the installation was a breeze. Install hinged gate end, attach top and bottom 2"x4" members, slide in intermediate steel members, attach opposite gate end to 2"x4"'s, center intermediate steel and screw into place, install center 2"x4", add anti-sage cable and tighten, check level, and install pickets. In all, it took me just over an hour to get both gates installed.Two months and half later in the hot south carolina sun and random afternoon thunderstorms, the gates have held up remarkably well. However, they will still sag no matter how tight you get the cable/turnbuckle. Therefore it is critical that you DO NOT IGNORE THE SPACING requirements in the instructions. The instructions recommend 1" clear, in my case, between gates. I think I had around 3/4" perfectly level along the height ot the gate. the top corners of the gates now just barely touch. It is not a problem for me and appears to have reached maximum sag. I did hang these gates on 6"x6" posts which I recommend everybody do. Gap/sag problems can be compounded by unfavorable warping of the more slender and susceptible 4"x4" posts resulting in 1" gap not being enough. Just some food for thought.In short, I think this is a great product worth of consideration when building a fence. Having built a custom gate for my fence in another location I can personally say this product makes the job faster and easier. I am confident my gate will hold up for years to come and recommend this product to all.

This is a very good frame for a gate. Easy to assemble and install with clear instructions. About two years ago, I built a wooden gate with cross-bracing. It was perfect for about 2 days before it began to sag. I added a cable brace and now it not only sags, it's also warped. I may never build another gate, but if I do, it will be an Adjust-A-Gate Steel Frame Gate Building Kit.

This is a fantastic product and the adjustable size helps to make it look right and sturdy. You still have to be smarter than the gate. I am still battling with the small details but it has totally improved the situation. Would buy this product again and recommend it to friends and enemies.

Worked perfectly for what I was looking for. Size was accurate and went together very easily.
