Installation Advice


General DIY Fitting Guides

Wanting to order a new gates, fencing or railings for your property but not sure if you are capable of completing the installation on a DIY basis? Well take a look at the below guide showing how are products are installed and you can make up your mind whether you feel comfortable doing the work on a DIY basis or whether you are going to be better off getting a builder or handyman to complete the works for you. 

Please note the above information we provide is to be used as a general guide and should not be solely relied upon for every installation type or every size and design combination available within our online store. For example certain gate designs will have different hinge systems (some are fixed and some are adjustable) and many of our posts have a universal design which will need the fittings to be attached during installation. Consequently, when undertaking your installation always refer to the instructions that are supplied with the product at the time of delivery as these will contain the most up to date information for the item you are installing.
