  • Gate for composite railing
    Patent number: 9458667
    Abstract: A gate for a deck railing is made with composite rails that match the profile and height of the composite rails of the deck railing where the gate is being used. The gate includes a pair of spaced side rails that securely support mounts that fit within the ends of the top and bottom composite rails. In some configurations, a cross brace is used from the top of the side rail with the hinges to the bottom of the other side rail. The gate is assembled from a gate kit that allows the user to provide lengths of the composite deck railings to be used as the top and bottom rails in the gate at locations that match the deck railing in order to provide a strong, durable deck gate that blends in with the deck railing.

  • Tool for positioning templates with respect to curved rail
    Patent number: 7179027
    Abstract: A tool for positioning a plurality of templates with respect to a curved rail includes a flexible spine that carries a plurality of templates. Each of the templates defines an opening adapted to guide a cutting tool to form a picket hole in the rail. The templates are evenly spaced along the longitudinal direction of the flexible spine so that the picket holes are evenly spaced when cut. A clamp may be associated with each template to hold the tool with respect to the rail.
