How to Measure 3/4 Split Wooden Entrance Gates

Gate Width

1. Measure the Distance between the posts/pillars

2. To determine what clearance is needed to calculate your gate width, you must decide how you would like your gate hung. Please see below for the options:

Hinges

For our 3/4 Split Entrance Gates, we'd recommend using Tee Hinges. Depending on the size of your gate, you'll need Medium or Large.

We'd also recommend using Drop Bolts and a Throwover loop for security and stability. For gates that are wider or heavier, drop bolts help hold one section securely in place while the other side is used for regular access. This reduces strain on the hinges and prevents sagging or movement due to wind or pressure.

Handling of your gate

When filling out the information for your gate, you'll be asked what hang you'd like for your larger gate (looking from the roadside). This refers to what side you'd like the larger gate on. If you opted for left hand hung, it would look like this visual.

The handling of the gate is also crucial during installation to ensure it's properly mounted. Always attach the hinges to the side where the bracing angles upward from the bottom. This will provide the necessary support for the gate, helping to prevent sagging or warping over time.
