Installation
Set Seaside gate posts with internal stiffeners in concrete, ensuring they are plumb and spaced to accommodate the gate’s actual leaf width plus hinge and latch clearances. Assemble the gate by fastening the rails and inserts to the uprights, installing the angled louvered infill, and securing the hinges to the gate upright. Mount the gate to the hinge post, maintaining a consistent bottom gap of approximately 2". Install the latch according to its instructions, verifying smooth operation and proper alignment. Always consult local code requirements before installation, especially for projects near regulated areas.
Buying Guide
- Choose the correct width – The 4' gate is ideal for walkways; the 5' gate offers extra clearance or can be paired for a double gate.
- Use gate-specific posts – Seaside gate posts and internal stiffeners provide the structural support needed for hinged movement.
- Match Seaside panels – For a consistent louvered aesthetic, pair the gate with Seaside 6' x 6' fence panels.
- Select the right latch – Choose a latch compatible with vinyl uprights and appropriate for your access or security needs.
