Where is the steel frame inside the FDS pre-built gate?

The galvanized steel frame is situated 1" in from the edge of Trex gates built by FDS Distributors. The frame is 1-1/4" steel tube, so the center point is 2-5/8" in from the edge of the gate. When attaching hardware, whether parts from the FDS gate packages or third-party products you will apply after the fact, be sure to attach into the frame with self-tapping screws. The composite is not meant to suppor the function of hinges, latches or other gate components. Here is an cutaway illustration of the interior of the gate.
