WamBam Fence VG13005 Instructions / Assembly
WamBam Fence VG13005 is a vinyl gate designed for use in conjunction with WamBam fences. It is constructed with .050in. wall thickness pickets and .090in. wall thickness vertical stiles and rails, making it durable and long-lasting. The gate includes two gate hinges, a gate latch, two gate bottom brackets, and a tube of glue for assembly. The gate brace included with this gate may be considered a climbing surface by some pool inspectors and therefore in conflict with pool code. This gate can be assembled and installed without the brace if and when necessary.

Reality Check
1 - Read Over Fence Instructions First
Your gate and fence will work better together as an integrated
solution if you first take the time to read and understand your
fence instructions.
2 - Do a Dry Run First on the Gate Frame
Only (not pickets or boards)
Please do not glue or screw your gate frame together until you
have first temporarily assembled the gate. In other words,
do a dry run first.
This will ensure three things:
a) That you have everything necessary to complete the gate.
b) That you will have assembled the gate in the correct order.
c) All the pieces fit and function properly.
It’s easier to trouble shoot when things are not glued and screwed together.
After you assemble your gate correctly, please disassemble as necessary and
use glue and screws to permanently assemble the gate.
3 - Ideally, Install Your Gate Posts
Before Your Fence Posts
Your fence panels will be more forgiving for a custom fit than
your gate. Ideally, position and install your gate posts
before you do anything else, or very early on in the
process of setting up your fence run.

4 - Ideally, Do Not Hang Your Gate System Off a Single
Non-Supported Post.
Your gate will perform better and last longer if your hinge post is connected to a panel of fence which is
connected to another post. The weight strain will be transferred unto two posts versus just one. Installing
fence panels on both sides of your gate is the ideal in all situations. If this is not possible because of space
restrictions, please contact us for alternative solutions to overcome.
Do Not Hang Gate on Lone Soldier Post.
Pool Code Notes
For swimming and other child safety gates, most safety standards specify:
a) Your fence height needs to be between 4’ and 6’ high minimum
b) Your gate needs to open outwards away from the pool
c) Latch releasing mechanism to be minimum 54” off the ground.
*The Yard & Pool gate will require a specialized latching system to meet pool code.
Use MagnaLatch Top Pull Hardware (not included).
Magna Latch Top Pull Code is # MLTPS2BGA.
*Always confirm these and other requirements with the appropriate authorities in your area.
Code will change from one location to another across the country.
Gate Brace Warning
The gate brace included with this gate may be considered a climbing surface by some pool inspectors and therefore in conflict with pool code. This gate can be assembled and installed without the brace if and when necessary.
