XCEL - Black Steel Anti-Rust Fence Gate - Sharp End Pickets - 4ft W x 5ft H - Easy Installation Kit, for Residential, Outdoor, Yard, Patio, Entry Way, 3-Rail Metal Gate

This product will require assembly (did not take long) and is not light as a feather (like aluminum or plastic) because materials are made of steel. The self-drilling screws do require a little muscle since you're drilling into metal but just take your time and don't over tighten. Set my drill at 15 for the torque breaking point. With that said, this product is as advertised and I'm happy with the purchase. Looks great, feels sturdy and long lasting. I will note the small top caps for the actually gate door were missing but not a big deal as far as I'm concerned (may contact the manufacturer) but still worthy of a 5 star rating. Good luck with your purchase!

Very impressed with the sturdiness of this gate and the ease of assembly. The finished product is much nicer looking then welded gates I have elsewhere on my property. When I had some questions for the Company they were very easy to reach and wonderful to deal with. I highly recommend this product and will definitely purchase from them again.

We purchased this hopeful it would work as a gate for the "gangway" between our house and our immediate neighbor. We live in an old St. Louis neighborhood and the houses are right next to one another with just about a 5' path between. I'd received some bids from fencing contractors, two of whom said they specialized in installing such gates in the city and didn't get any quotes for less than $2,000 to install something as simple as this gate. After a ton of searching online, I figured I'd give this a try. It arrived pretty quickly. Much of the paint was scratched on the larger posts upon arrival, but that didn't bother me too much (but it hasn't started rusting yet either ; talk to me a year from now about this). It was very easy to assemble the initial gate structure. If you don't already have one, a cordless impact driver and a deep-well 3/8" socket/driver will be your friend here. Setting the posts into concrete was more challenging and took me several hours. The included wedge anchors for setting the post flanges in concrete are really cheap looking and seem undersized. I purchased other, more substantial ones. Also, the post flanges are just short little things the posts set over the top of. It would add a ton of stability, at least for my application, if they were designed differently (like longer). Also, sourcing brackets to attach the post edges to the masonry walls on either side of the gate was something of a challenge, but I think I've got that figured too. Overall, this seems like a good product at a fantastic price. I think it's going to work out as well as I could have hoped upon ordering.

I gave it 5 stars all around, the assembly was easy For its normal size but I customized the gate to fit a 53” wide x 36” opening, it came great, the only thing I wasn’t happy about was the fit of the gate post over the floor mounting plates. The post were sloppy and I had to wedge shims between the post and the plates vertical shaft, I also set numerous self tapping screws to secure the post plum. The gate looks great

I used this to replace an aging wooden fence. One of the packages was damaged in transit, but the contents appeared to be in good condition at first sight. Unfortunately it wasn't until I had completed the installation, that I noticed two of the base trim pieces, and one of the hinges were broken. A quick phone call to the manufacturer resolved the issue, and replacement parts were delivered in a couple of days.

Our experience and opinions: NOT easy to assemble. The assembly instructions for the gate are incomplete. The few instructions that are provided are incomprehensible. Screws don't fit so the gate comes ready for failure. We had to purchase extra equipment (auger, drills, larger screws, etc. that might actually fit) just so we could try to salvage this deceptive product. We regret falling for the few positive reviews. Our advice: If you have made the mistake of buying this, return it immediately. For heavens sake do not follow the installation instructions - they will set you up for failure. Ours is headed for the county dump. We can't return it because after drilling holes into the metal AS INSTRUCTED it is ruined and can't be salvaged.

The price is just what you get... the gate is not very sturdy and over time the latch may be come less effective as well as the snapback feature (I've had it installed about a month) does not work on it anymore. In addition the easy assembly works well if you have a drill and bits to assemble all the little pieces. I wish the small parts would have come assembled. (latch, hinges,)

It looks very nice and works as it should. Quick assembly, but would recommend having 2 people when setting up and drilling holes. Yes, you will need to drill quite a bit of holes but it makes sense since you will want the holes to match how you want your gate.
