A single extrusion gate upright has a hole for a rail and one or more inner walls which can be coated with glue prior to the insertion of the rail. In a preferred embodiment, there are two inner walls, one of which is only a partial inner wall, which allows the user to coat the outside surface of the inner walls with glue, then insert the rail at an angle, to avoid screeding the glue toward the back of the gate upright, then rotate the rail onto the full inner wall, and slide the rail a short distance to lock it behind the partial inner wall. In another preferred embodiment, there is only one full inner wall, and the rail is inserted at an angle, then rotated against the inner wall. Glue beads at intersections between the rail and gate upright form an interlocking bracket for further support.
A fence gate kit, consisting of two gate uprights and at least two rails, wherein each of the two gate uprights is a single extrusion gate upright, wherein the single extrusion gate upright has at least one opening into which a rail end of one of the at least two rails is inserted, wherein the single extrusion gate upright has one full inner wall, wherein the full inner wall extends from a first upright side to a second upright side, and extends from an upright top to an upright bottom, wherein the one full inner wall creates an inner box beam, wherein the one full inner wall is molecularly bonded to an external portion of the upright.
A fence gate kit, comprising:
A gate upright, wherein the upright is a single extrusion gate upright, wherein the gate upright comprises an opening into which a rail can be inserted, wherein the gate upright has one full inner wall, wherein the full inner extends from a first upright side to a second upright side, and extends from an upright top to an upright bottom, wherein the one full inner wall creates an inner box beam, wherein the one full inner wall is molecularly bonded to the external portion of the upright.
