EasyGate No-Sag Gate Bracket Kit

Definitely a light duty gate. The brackets make it easy to form the gate quickly. Couple issues-drill bit broke 1st hole, the welds do not let you get up snug in the bracket and the screws are fine thread and cheesy. Take it for what it is and get some nice deck screws and everything will snug up tight. I need to remake my gate to my yard. I had to do some extra work because of the configuration. Dimensions are 46" by 72" and I don't think I would go too much bigger. This did the trick quickly.

Kit was very simple and easy. 2x4 VERTICALS ARE REQUIRED! The horizontals can be 2x3, 2x4, 2x6, etc.  It's just painted light duty gauge metal, so don't torque it down and misshape it.  If the metal starts rusting, sand it a tad and blast it with some black enamel automotive spray paint. Make sure to have a stop when the gate is closed (depending on how you chose to attach the hinge facing.  If a big gust of wind or other force tries to push the the gate past its normal limit, it probably WILL bend the steel, since it's light duty rated. This kit work perfectly fine for my needs and is cheaper than most options. It's great for some uses and not great for others, so you just have to decide that yourself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this kit to make a gate for my barn. It was fairly easy to use, and seems to be working great. There’s no sagging, and the instructions were easy to use. All went as expected while using it to make the gate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The easy gate no sag kit is so nice. This gate is so easy to work with. It took a total of about 30 minutes to put together. The kit includes everything you need. The steel is coated to resist rust which is so nice. I would highly recommend this product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Homax Easy Gate No-Sag Gate Kit comes with everything you need to get your gate ready to use. This kit is perfect for making any gate from 25 to 72 inches wide. Getting started with this kit is easy because it has all needed parts from the metal brackets down to the screws and included drill bit and star driver bit. You don't need a square because once the brackets are attached it will be squared. This sag free gate kit will be a great added bonus on the gate to keep it form sagging and bending. There is step by step instructions for making it as well. It should take about 20 minutes or so to get this setup on the gate. I would highly recommend the Homax Easy Gate No-Sag Gate Kit for your gate to keep it from sagging and last longer!

After one month- starting to rust and hinges bent. See pics. Do not waste your time. You will have to redo the gate in a month or two. I didn’t build a ten foot gate, see photos. Will never buy this kit again. Wouldn’t even use it if it was free.

Built three gates two 5 ft and one 4' all 6' high. they worked well. Complaint 1 the small weld on the inside corner that has been mentioned in other reviews. Used a sander to take the square corner off the the 2x4. The screws, complaint 2, are a counter sink type but the holes are not. The weld and the screws make it hard to get a tight fit. Refinements here would make it a great product but added cost Would be curious to know what kind of load, torque, would be need to cause sag?

I used the Homax Easy Gate to make gates to replace two badly weathered yard gates. I used new cedar for the cross members on the gate kits and salvaged, sanded and restained as many pickets as I could. I set a vinyl panel insert into the frame formed by the Easy Gate and framed around the panel to support it. The Easy gate is ideal for this application as it needs no diagonal members or wires. Assembly was straightforward, and both kits made square gates according to my framing square and level. Assembled the Easy Gates are free swinging and close like a custom made gate on the latch system I used. Very pleased with them. I did fix the hinges to the posts with 3" galvanized wood screws rather than the screws included. Just me. A few small quibbles. One of the Easy Gates arrived with the distal end of the bracket bent inward (when assembled). The right angle was still true, so the cross member was straight. But, had the bend been in the other direction - outward -the whole kit would have had to be returned. Second, there are no instructions on inserting the screws under the diagonal support - other than use one screw where there are 2 holes in the bracket. I found I had to drill the pilot holes for these on a slight diagonal. Other wise, it was impossible to fully insert the screws because of interference with the screwdriver by the diagonal brace. Overall, I am well pleased with these, would definitely use them again, and am happy I could insert a screen without the clutter of a diagonal support.

Rusted in two days and metal bent when i screwed it down.

First time using this gate kit on a recent fence build. The kit shorted me 2 screws. I followed the instructions exactly. That's a big deal when all of the bracing and hardware is coated black. It's not like I have black coated screws laying around. How cheap is that. Should be extra screws for something like this. Worse yet, I went back to the jobsite to assess the next phase of our job and checked the gates and noticed rusting at all of the screws and some of the welds and I just built this on 8/5/2020. That's 2 weeks!! I'm sure the hinges will be next. I am going to have to replace and rebuild these gates. What a waste of time and money. I checked the Homax website to see what they say about rusting with this kit... "Hinges and screws are constructed of powder-coated steel in a black finish to resist rust." Well, they resisted for all of 2 weeks. That's junk in my book.
