Review of the Adjust-a-Gate:

Steel Frame in the Adjust-a-Gate Kit

First is the Adjust-a-Gate. As you can see, this simple anti-sag gate kit contains a rectangular metal frame and a diagonal support strap.

The frame adjusts horizontally to fit a gate that measures 3 to 6 feet wide. Therefore, you can get a custom fit for your opening without having to purchase a special package.

In addition, you can use Adjust-a-Gate with a variety of materials. For example, it works with wood, vinyl or composite planks.

What You Get with the DIY Gate Package:

The kit comes with an adjustable steel frame, lockable 2-way gate latch, post hinges, gate hinges and truss cable system. You just supply the wood, vinyl or composite boards.

You get comprehensive step-by-step instructions, which enable average homeowners to construct a professional-looking gate on their own. Therefore, you can save time and money while ending up with a great-looking gate (that doesn’t sag!)

By the way, this gate hardware kit is designed for lifetime use. In other words, it’s not just a short-term fix that will require repair in a few years. You can straighten and strengthen your gate in a single fix.

Note: You can buy 2 kits and a UL301 Drop Rod kit to build a double gate up to 12 feet wide. The versatile frame system allows you to conveniently measure on-site and build a large drive-thru gate on a budget.

The following video demonstrates how to install the Adjust-a-gate Steel Frame on your gate, plus potential problems you might run into and how to solve them.

Homax EasyGate Repair Kit Review:

Homax Easy Gate Kit for DIY Gate Repair

Similar to the No-Sag Adjust-a-Gate Kit, the Homax EasyGate has versatility in its application. For instance, it workson gates, doors, prefab fence panels as well as custom gates.

In addition, this set-up don’t limit you to a height restriction. Plus, you can use them on various horizontal rail lumber sizes (ie. 2×4’s, 2×6’s and more).

Furthermore, you can mount them on internal or external posts, and you don’t need a Z brace like with the Adjust-a-Gate Kit.

In comparison, the Homax kit can adapt to more gate builds and repair project than the Adjust-a-Gate simply due to its separate parts. That said, this particular kit is designed for use with openings 25″ to 72″ wide.

What Comes in Homax Do-it-Yourself Gate Package:

Homax Easy Gate Black Metal Brackets

The package includes 2 hinged brackets, 2 non-hinged brackets, 36 mounting screws and step-by-step instructions. Just like the Adjust-a-Gate above, you just supply the lumber.

Well, you’ll need tools for the project, which are minimal. You just need a drill, screw driver and a saw. In fact, the simplistic design of this kit allows homeowners to assemble a square, no-sag gate in as little as 20 minutes. (Heck, I’m happy with under and hour!)

Although they look like standard brackets, the Homax hardware has a welded one-piece design for maximum strength. In addition, the parts resist rust, including the screws. In other words, you can expect your gate fix to last a long, long time, even with frequent use.
