Will this work with 8 foot wooden gates if they are within the weight limit?

I used them on metal gates that I think would be lees weight but I see no reason why the would not open wood gates as well.

Not that i know of. If there were it would be too flimsey. Dont know of any gates 8 feet long.

Attached to a good solid fence post on both sides it could support a light weight gate. Definitely not stand alone. It's a little top heavy, PVC is flexible and itsways a bit. I have mine over steps and the hand rails inside the arbor add a lot of support.

I don't see why not since it goes to 6 foot wide and 54 inches is only 4.5 feet. My entry is 4 foot and I had no problem and the gate looks good too.

I tried this in an opening that is 39 inches. It was not stable enough to suit me even at that width. I bought it to keep a large dog from jumping over an existing gate, but ended up putting the old one back.

Yes that is how my gate is designed. It will work fine! Be careful not to loose the springs that come with it. Very good latch that should last outlast the gate.

If I was installing the door I would start with 6/8 hinges. I installed a 36" vinyl gate and used 2 and it saggs sometimes. A vinyl gate is only 5lbs.

Mind you, I will present an educated guess. The mechanisms that hold the gate in place are threaded bolts with a cap on the outer end. These fit into mounts that are fixed to the wall either with screws or adhesive disks. That's LOTS of play in bolts. My guess is that so long as you don't exceed the maximum span or less than the minimum span, then this could be done. If you provide me with your width dimensions, I will provide a more concrete response.

I don't think so. This gate is designed to have the mounting hardware screwed into wood on both sides.

I installed mine on a six-foot wide Steel gate it works great. I think it would work okay on a wooden gate also

Yes, the right length of chain and top quality rollers will give the least resistance for the gate to operate smoothly. My gate is built on a 41' frame and the actual opening width is 27'. Check out the one on Instructables web site.

I don't think so. If you bought 2 gates, and attached themwith the sliding pieces, it might work? It would not be very sturdy if you did that. It only expands on one side, not both. If you are very handy, you might make it work.

I built steel framed gates and welded the wheels to them. They are holding good for that purpose. Gates weigh 200lbs plus each.

I would not recommend it. I have two of these and have used both bigger extensions on one of the gates. Its a little shaky at the joints. There are longer gates.

the gates I'm using those hinges with are 6 foot wide aluminum welded gates. They only weigh about 150 pounds apiece. I don't see why these wouldn't support a 350 pound date. just make sure your anchor post is VERY sturdy!

Definitely. Mine is mounted on a wooden gate. It was easy to mount following the instructions. It also has mounting instructions for chain link and other metal gates.

The gate opening would fit but the legs span 29.5 inches. The adjustable sides would probably keep it secure.
