Installing a gate insert typically involves preparing the gate, cutting the opening, and securing the insert. Based on the provided reference clip from a video titled "How-to Install: Square/Diamond Black Cast Aluminum Fence & Gate Insert...", the process includes specific steps regarding cutting and separating the insert components.
Here are the key steps mentioned in the reference for a gate insert installation, focusing on preparing the opening and the insert itself:
Preparing the Gate for the Insert
Before installing the insert, you need to create the opening in the gate panel where the insert will sit. The reference describes the following actions:
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill through all four designated holes (presumably marked by a template) to start the opening.
- Remove Template: Once the holes are drilled, remove any template used for marking.
- Cut the Opening: Use a jigsaw along the previously marked pencil line to accurately cut out the required opening in the gate material.
Preparing the Gate Insert
The gate insert itself may come in multiple pieces that need to be separated before installation into the cut opening. The reference states:
- Separate the Insert: Use the provided Allen key to separate the components of the gate insert.
These steps cover the preparation of both the gate panel and the insert components, as detailed in the referenced content. A complete installation would likely involve fitting the separated insert parts into the opening and securing them, but those steps are not described in the provided reference.
