How do you set the corner post close to the house?
Fernando, if you have the ability to dig a hole right next to the home without hitting the foundation, it is always best to put the post in the ground in concrete. If you cannot do that, consider cutting the post to height and attach it to the house by securing bolts through the post into the framing of the home (use a 4x4 treated lumber insert inside the Trex post so the Trex post won't cup when you insert the bolts. Ensure the holes for your bolts are sealed. You can get advice on how to do this by looking elsewhere on UA-cam. If you cannot secure the post to the wall or break out your home's foundation, another method is to drill into the foundation to set rebar, then sleeve the post over the top and pour grout into the hollow of the post (about 2' worth). Because of the weight of a gate, we don't recommend you use the post against the house for the hinge side of the gate. If you want to discuss any of this in more detail, please call 877-700-8739.

They don't have any distribution up here in Canada. You can buy them from the USA then import them and they will get shipped to a carrier terminal and you can hire a transportation company to pick them up and deliver them to your house. It is expensive but worth it.
Why did you cut your end pickets at angles and not a square cut? Wondering bc I'm about to install 900' of this for the first time and every other video I've seen they cut them square
John, it is not necessary to cut them on an angle if you are building on relatively flat ground. The purpose of cutting the picket next to the post is solely to give it clearance under the bracket. If you are building on a slope, cutting the picket on an angle will allow the cut edge to be hidden inside the top rail.
