Our swing gates are sold by their opening size, so a 48" opening between post. The gates will hang flush with the face of the hinge post and latch onto the face of the opposite post.

Gates may be mounted underneath a header or lintel, as well as face mounted on the outside or inside of an opening.

Yes, heavier posts are needed to both support the weight of the gate and withstand the constant impact when the gate latches.

I use a heat bonding process that applies about 225 degrees F. to mount your images to my special wood.

The Garage Door Screen is mounted (in front of the doorstop, one-inch wood strips) on the header and the doorjambs which the garage door is mounted to.

Aluminum fences provide the elegance and beauty of classic wrought iron. Wrought iron fences, however, are susceptible to rust problems and are relatively high maintenance. Aluminum, with our powder-coated colors, are maintenance-free and rust proof. This makes them particularly well suited for swimming pools and salt water areas! Vinyl fences are also maintenance-free, but they look like, well, plastic and lack the sophistication and elegance of aluminum.

The size and weight of a gate determine when you need to use these larger gate posts. All gates over 24 square feet need 4" posts, especially when an operator is placed on the gate. Consult the individual price sheets to see if you need a 4" post for smaller gate or when a 6" post will be needed. We do not punch 4" or 6" posts. Instead, we include wall mounts to attach the rails of the fence to these posts.

Our standard gate is 850mm wide in 6mm glass. The gate opening is 870mm wide. A standard door opening in a house is 800mm.

For a single gate only. You will need to allow 1" extra to attach the latch keeper onto the column. (So a 48" gate needs a 49" opening.) Let our Customer Service Representative know when you are ordering a gate for this type of installation, and they will supply you with a small piece of aluminum channel to attach the keeper to the middle of the column. For large industrial gates, you will have to cut off one side of the hinge to mount it on the column.

The American Fence Association (AFA) recommends that you consult with an experienced local fence contractor (preferably an AFA member) to ensure the type of wood you choose is compatible with the soil in your area. BACK TO TOP

Yes. The unique design of SEECO's phase-over-phase GOABS? withstands changes to wood pole structures more readily than other brands of phase-over-phase switches, especially those utilizing blade latching type devices. The "tulip" design of our female jaw contacts is very forgiving and allows for a significant amount of switch insulator displacement without loss of contact pressure between male and female contacts.

Single slide gates close on one side of the opening and stack to the other side. Bi-parting gates close in the middle of the opening and stack on both sides.

Wood costs more initially, but in the long-term will save the owner money in lower air-conditioning and heating bills, and fewer if any replacement costs. More importantly, wood windows and doors will certainly increase the value of the

This is a matter of personal preference depending on what the builder has the most experience with and what tools he has on hand. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The wood wing is probably easier to build than the aluminum one unless you have some sheet metal experience. However the wood wing is a lot more time consuming to build. A typical wood rib has over 50 pieces that have to be cut out, shaped and glued together, the aluminum rib is just 2 pieces to form.

A There could be a number of reasons you have problems with your wood gate. Ground movement can shift your gate making it hard to open. Warping can also be a factor or not having you gate braced properly. There are 2 ways your gate should be braced. The A brace is used if it was made without knowing which side the gate will be hanging from. the standard brace will have the higher part of the brace pointing up to the latch side of the gate.

The satellite dish will need to be mounted at a location with a clear view of the South-to-Southwest sky. Consult your technician if you have any questions or concerns about satellite dish placement. All two-room dual receivers need to be connected to an active telephone line in order to waive the fee for the second room. Single room receivers are not required to have a phone line connected.

Solid gates can be a problem because the wind will add more resistance to the gate during opening or closing. This extra force can be enough to activate the built-in reversing safety feature. The operator misinterprets the extra weight as an obstruction. Although this sensitivity is adjustable, it can not compensate for all high winds and over-riding the safety feature all together defeats the purpose of having a safety feature.

The first step is to determine how much lumber you’ll dry in a year. Then figure your average drying time for each of the species you’ll be drying, and you can calculate the size kiln you need from there. For example: you need to dry 500,000 board feet of oak per year. Fresh off the saw, oak takes about 28-30 days to dry, so you’ll be able to do 12 loads in a year. Each load will need to be 42,000 board feet to give you the 500,000 board feet you need for the year.

YES, provided the post is between 3.5 inch and 4.0 inches. Examples are mail box posts, birdhouse posts and anything else which uses the aforementioned sized wood posts.
