Post Stiffener:
When you are installing a gate, a special stiffener
is required inside the post that supports the gate.
One
Post Stiffener is included with each gate that
you purchase. If your project requires extra
Post
Stiffeners, please review the options shown below to
select the correct
Post Stiffener. The
Post
Stiffener is required to assure that the post
supporting a gate will not lean over time. Also, it
provides the screws that attach the hinge to the
post added holding power to prevent the hinge from
eventually loosening
