Help on attaching gate t-hinge.

[OasisFan79]

Hi all,

I’ve put up a small fence in the garden and the last part is to attach the gate hinges then the gate.

Realised when I offered up the hinge that one of the horizontal rails is in the way.

Am I best to chop a little bit of the horizontal rail out so the hinge will attach?

I’d rather not lower the horizontal rail.

Lower the rail, or raise the gate.

Why you complicating it..
Cut the blue bit off horizontal.
Maybe round it off nicely.
Screw hinge tie post

Forward planning, would have made that so easy.
