HOW TO MEASURE FOR A GARDEN GATE

Measuring a Single Garden Gate

When planning to purchase a Jacksons garden gate, the width that we state on our website and in our catalogues is the actual size of the garden gate itself (as shown in the diagram). So when calculating the gate size required or the space a gate will need, please remember to allow for the width of the gate itself, the widths of both posts or wall plates and a 10mm space between each of the posts and the gate.

Posts

Garden Gates can be hung on Standard Posts (641500 – 2.4m long is suitable for 1.8m high gates), Wall Plates, or if installed in a run of fencing using Slotted Posts, slotted end posts are appropriate to match the rest of the fencing (668500 – 2.4 long is suitable for a 1.8m gate).  

If a Garden Gate is installed at the beginning or end of a slotted post fence run, we would usually recommend a standard post and a slotted end post to take the run of fencing away from the gate.
