What Customers Are Saying

The product is generally well-received, with many users praising its ease of installation, sturdy construction, and versatility in creating custom gates.

Worst product ever!

Would Not Recommend

Gate is advertised as swing in or swing out. What they dont tell you is that if you install it as a swing out there will be a gap of about 2". Also the wire crimp on the turnbuckle was too loose and broke. Screws are cheap and will break easily. Extension tubes are WAY too loose. Very frustrating.

Works great, even on vinyl fencing!

Would Recommend

I have a six foot section of vinyl fence that I converted into a gate, thanks to this product. I cut out the fence section, and followed the directions. Afterward, I screwed the fence section onto the 2x4s of the gate. I also added wooden 4x4's in my post for stability. You must have (2)2x4s in order to install this gate. The picture is viewed from inside the fenced area.

It works

Would Recommend

Made a huge, heavy 6x6 gate and it held! No sag, as advertised. The frame is not rectangular but more of a rhomboid than rectangular and the 2x4 holder was cock-eyed. Not a problem for me as this was the inside of the gate and not visible from the exterior.

Broken hindge

Would Not Recommend

I purchased 2 of these to make a double swinging 10' gate. So each of them are 60". Pretty easy to install with decent directions. I have had the gate for about 6 months now and have open them a total of may 10-12 times. They open and close very easy and have not sagged like my other full wood frames, however one of the hinges broke. I had to remove the gate and weld the hindge back together. Overall a great product except for the weak hindge.

Perfect for fences

Would Recommend

I purchased two of the adjust a gate kits for my shadowbox fence. They worked perfectly and the picture of him standing on the gate is no joke. I weigh 200 pounds and I did it (just make sure the bolts are tightened before you do it).

easiest gates I ever made

Would Recommend

The frame kit works perfect, and easy to build/install. I have made gates in the past with wood frames and these are by far the easiest/best gates I have ever made. Would definitely recommend to anybody needing to replace or install new gates. I used two frame kits to build two 6 foot gates for a total opening of 12 feet.

Was not as stable as I thought it would be

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this system thinking it would help me build a better stronger gate. I particularly did not like the thinness of the extension bars that are adjustable which allows you to set the gate to the width you need. Another thing I did not care for were the hinges that were attached to the frame, they did not appear to be that strong. I have a wood fence with galvanized poles, the anchor for the gate hinges need to be screwed into a 4x4 (I had 2x4's in place already). This meant I would have ...

Makes a strong gate

Would Recommend

I have seen these at other peoples houses but had never had the chance to use this until I needed to replace my wooden gate. The system goes together different than I would have expected so it is important to read the instructions. The instructions are fairly well written and make installation easy if followed. I am happy with the final gate using the frame. It is light and opens and closes very easily. Very much worth the money.

Adjust with New Parts

Would Recommend

STARS: 3.5 I mounted this gate on a 12" Block Column. First, like some of the reviewers of this product, the 1" wood screws and 3" wood screws are bad. The phillip slot was NOT deep enough so they would strip out easily, so buy better quality screws. Extra money spent! Second, the gate hinge bolt and nut did not screw together. After returning again to Lowes, they were of different threading. I just replaced the nuts. More money spent! Third, Since mounting to a block column, the post hinge...

Good easy to build product

Would Recommend

I just put one of these up to replace an old rotting sagging wood gate. It went together quickly with no problems. The only thing I ran into is the latch hardware is only usable from one side, but I worked around that by using a spring, some paracord, and a garage door cable pulley to make a gadget that opens the latch from the other side - just pull the cord. Have plans to use a couple more of these kits to make a double-wide driveway gate next.

Great frame design

Would Recommend

I got several of these kits for my farm. They are in use as fence gates and a door for a duck pen. I was in a hurry to replace a broken door on the duck's pen, so I put the first one up in the dark by moonlight in about an hour. It worked great - level swing, and secure latching. The next day, I took it apart, and reassembled it correctly! Either way, it was strong! The frame design on this gate is structurally sound, no matter which way you place the parts together. It's just better if you put ...

solid gate frame

Would Recommend

Very pleased with Gate so far. It seems to be sturdy and functions properly. The only negative would be the extremely cheap and weak aluminum hardware (specifically the wood screws) They easily strip out and are worthless. I used a harder more appropriate hardware to match the rest of the gates' strength.
