Follow these steps to take the correct measurements for your gate!
I need you to take 2 measurements, from the top and bottom of the post or wall. We have discovered that in 50% of cases one side is on a lean, so if we made the gate to the longest width measurement, it wouldn’t fit!

Measurement 1.
Measurement 2.
Hint: If you have problems holding the tape measure on the inside of the post, then you can try placing it on the outside of the post, and deducting that measurement from the opening!

We make the gate as high as the shortest post, because otherwise your gate would be higher than the shortest post.

Place a string line, or a laser, about midway up the post, to get a level line.
Then measure from these points down to the ground level this will show if there is fall or rise in the land

So what information do I need to make your gate?


As always, we talk about the gate as if we’re standing in front of it.
