* The net gate width will be 5/8" less than the rough opening width between your wood posts. (3/8" swing clearance + 1/4" hinge clearance)

* Gates ship with the hinge holes marked. The net gate widths are designed with the hinges to be surface-mounted to both the gate and the post or jamb, creating 1/4" clearance between the gate and the hinge post. It is essential to allow air flow and light on all six planes of the gate. Although Western Cedar possesses excellent properties and tannins that are inherently resistant to fungus, by surface-mounting the hinges we eliminate any temptation for bacterial fungus to establish itself and develop into dry rot. Commonly illustrated in the bottom rail of, say, a window sash, resting against the windowsill, or a deck board seated on a joist. Both applications create dark, damp environments without light or air flow, which is adored by micro organisms

* Standard Lock-sets: The use of standard 2-3/8"; back-set locks over traditional gate latches (for garden gates) is not recommended. Normal expansion of your gate will occur and the clearance required for a standard 2-3/8" lock-set (1/8"-1/4") puts the gate at risk of becoming wedged against the jamb, requiring the sort of effort with each passage that can damage the gate. We cannot support the integrity of any gate that uses a standard residential lock-set.; We insist upon the use of Gate Latches with horizontal Drop Bars allowing 3/8" clearance between the edge of the gate and the jamb or post

Mounting to Masonry Columns or Walls
------------- You will be provided with jambs (normally 1-1/2"T x 3-3/4"W: +$200) These mount to your columns or wall with your installer's preferred method--most often 3/8" x 4" spread bolts. The gate will hinge and latch off these jambs. Your net gate width, with jambs, will be 3-5/8" less than your rough opening width between columns or walls.
-------------If your columns are to be clad with irregular stone, it is best to mount temporary jambs to the block core and then set the stone up to the jamb. This is replaced with the Prowell jambs that arrive with the gate. The jambs must be the thickness from the block core to the proudest stone, plus 1/2" allowing the gate to swing open to 110-degrees. This depth dimension from core to stone face will be required, and called out in your drawings. Below is an example of an embedded jamb in progress, where the stonemason uses a mock jamb to set his stone. The jamb is removed and replaced with the arrival of the Prowell jamb and gate. See more at the Product Specifications link at the top left of this page.

----------------- If the irregular stone columns already exist, there is the option of setting 4x4 jambs to this surface using threaded rod embedded into the stone with epoxy and fitted onto the corresponding holes in the jambs, and back-filling the light cavities between the jambs and stone with mortar. Or to cut the existing column stone to accept the jambs.
