Fabrication Details

Frame: We fabricate these gates in house with CR40 (40 weight) for the horizontal and vertical pipe and CR20 (20 weight) pipe for diagonal braces. Horizontals are 2-1/2", verticals are 2", and finally top gate ends & diagonal braces are 1-5/8". The gate's total length is 1.5 times the opening. A truss is added to any gates with a 24' opening or more by default for stability. If a gate has barbwire, an inward extension is created on the side of the top horizontal pipe with 1-5/8" pipe and extends the length of the opening with 3-strands of barbwire going across.

Wire: Overall gate height is 6.5" shorter than fence height therefore we use 1' shorter fabric (chain link wire) to cover the gate. If gate is automated or you plan on having it automated, we cover the entire gate with wire. If the gate is not automated/ manual opened or closed, we only cover the opening. Barbwire adds 1 extra foot to the overall height of the gate.

Fittings: As well as the fabric, 1' shorter tension bars are used to pull the fabric tight on each end and held in place with 2" tension bands. 9-1/2" wire ties are used to tie the fabric to the other vertical pipes. 2" aluminum caps are used to cap the vertical ends. If the gate has barbwire, 1-5/8" end/brace bands are used to hold the barbwire and 1-5/8" aluminum caps are used to cap the vertical pipes. All bands are tightened with a 5/16" x 1-1/4" carriage bolt & nut.

Additional Materials Needed

You'll need at minimum 2 pre-cut posts; number of full-length posts (21' or 24') would depend on height of gate and how much length you want to put in the ground (we recommend at least 4-1/2' or more). The spacing for setting these posts is half the opening, from outside to outside.

Recommended posts based off gate square footage (height ft. x opening ft.):

You'll also need 4 Rollers that mount onto the recommended posts to roll the cantilever on

Nylon rollers are the better of the 2 styles of rollers; cheaper and offer a much smoother operation than the steel!
