Use this Crossbeam version's post and opening dimensions. The gate has two leaves with a nominal combined width of 7 ft. The leaves remain 6 ft high; a 7 ft fence run does not change that leaf height. One crossbeam sits above the pair. Its top is 2 inches below the post top. That beam belongs to the fixed overhead layout, rather than either moving leaf.

The post centers are 87⅛ inches apart, and the clear opening between the posts is approximately 84 inches. Each steel post stands 86 inches above ground with 28 inches below, using its full 114-inch length. Keep the 1-inch gap below the gate and the listed hinge positions in your layout. The concrete footing width is 12 inches min. Check these figures together before choosing the post locations. Follow this gate's dimensions rather than the ordinary version without a crossbeam.

Component Needs lists two full posts for the pair, rather than two per leaf. Keep that listed quantity at two. The quote rule checks any shared post against the actual fence-and-gate connection for the project. That project check does not change this gate's post stock, above-ground height or embedment.

Eight is the total number of FireGuard panels across the two leaves. That count does not mean eight panels for each leaf or eight retail packs. A FireGuard sales pack contains three panels, so this double gate's material share is 8/3 packs. Use the installed panel count to read the layout. Use the pack share when planning stock for the order. Combine the actual needs for the gate and fixed fence sections before deciding how many whole packs to buy.

The panel packs do not replace the other products. This double gate also needs two welded frames and two steel posts. The combination lock and outdoor handle set with drop rod are separate entries. The LINE stock and crossbeam hardware are separate, too. Keep the panel count, frame count and beam count distinct: eight panels and two leaves still use one overhead beam. The quantities in Component Needs cover the complete double gate, not a separate list for each half.

For this gate alone, two three-panel packs supply only six panels. Three packs supply nine panels, one more than the eight installed panels. The figures show material use, not a final shopping list. This example explains the retail pack count; it does not mean rounding each gate row on its own. For a combined fence-and-gate order, check all panel needs and usable stock before buying whole packs.

The corrugated panels fill the two gate frames. They do not supply the overhead crossbeam. Cut that beam from separate LINE stock. A LINE sales pack contains two stock slats; this gate uses one stock slat for one beam, so the material share is 0.5 pack. That share does not create a smaller retail pack. Plan whole-pack purchases and usable stock for the complete project rather than ordering each fraction on its own.

The crossbeam also needs its half-set hardware share: two Base Connectors, two L Connectors and eight fixing screws. This is the beam's hardware, not a complete gate kit. The beam uses no EVA strip. Check which parts each product supplies before combining hardware shares across a fence run. The order must account for the actual connector and screw needs and any usable stock. Do not simply add the half-set figures and round the sum; the project needs the listed parts.

Match each material to its named part. The Base Connectors use powder-coated aluminum, while the L Connectors use 201 stainless steel. The lock and outdoor handles with drop rod use 304 stainless steel. Their sales entries remain separate from the beam kit. Read the screw grades in Parts and Materials rather than assigning one grade to all fasteners.
