| Gate Arc - Measuring
- Refer to Fig. 6. When the post paint dries, you are ready
to continue. On Line FT, find the vertical Centerline that
was previously drawn. Using a level to maintain this center,
go up 16" (40.64cm) from Line FT and mark with a light
pencil dot. Put a push pin through point P1 on Stencil Sheet
A and push the pin into the dot you just marked. On the inside
of each post, mark a dot 10 ½" (26.67cm) up from
line FT. Using the level, draw 2" (5.08cm) horizontal
lines at these marks as shown. Put a sharp pencil point through
point P2 on Stencil Sheet A. Keeping the stencil sheet flat
against the wall, swing from the center out to each side,
lightly drawing an arc shape as you go. Stop drawing when
you reach the 2" (5.08cm)lines. The center of the arc
will touch Line FT. |

| Gate Pickets - Measuring - Refer to
Fig. 8. Make a pencil mark along Line FB ¼" (.64cm)
from the white inner edge of the left post. From this ¼"
(.64cm) point, using a yardstick along Line FB, measure and
mark at 5" (12.70cm) intervals. You will have a total
of seven marks. The last mark will be 30" (76.20cm) from
the first. If it is not, measure again and mark accurately.
Using your level, lightly draw vertical lines through these
marks. The lines will begin at Line FB, extend upwards, and
stop at the bottom of the painted arc. Run a length of Easy
Mask tape along the underside of Line FB. |

Gate Pickets - Painting
- The gate pickets may be painted using the stencils
or by taping off the area to be painted. We suggest that
