How to Hang a Gate
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2019
- A new puppy and a busy Seattle street meant installing a driveway gate was a necessary project. From setting the posts in concrete to sharing a few tips on hanging a tube gate, I had a blast building this gate with my friend Stu and Rigby Puppy is now safe and sound. I finally found a use for some LED lights I'd purchased a ways back, did some re-landscaping, and the whole driveway looks to have gotten a massive makeover. These Behlen Country farm tube gates are fairly easy to hang, but it's important you brace and set your posts properly to avoid sagging over time.
I'm Anne of All Trades. In Seattle, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. This channel is aimed at sharing my passion for working with my hands, being a good steward of the earth, and preserving antiquated skills and traditions.

Dang! You are one strong young woman! Great build!
Good to see you take the time to mix the concrete the right way instead of just pouring it in the hole.
I was going to come down and remove your gate bolts when you weren't looking, but now you put the nuts on the inside and made it so hard!
Foiled again!
You are doing a magnificent job, young lady!
I would love a second third hand! Also a first third hand! The fence is looking great and a safe Rigby Puppy is a happy Rigby Puppy!
You never cease to amaze me. A young woman who is very upbeat and full of energy. You, girl,are a contagious person. You inspire many,many people. I'm trying to determine who has more positivity you or April. I can say this it's a very close call.
Great video Anne. Your place is coming along nicely.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Great job. The amount of torque that 12' gate puts on that post is enormous. Good bracing and support. I never thought about greasing my gates, guess im doing that this weekend.
I Love the outtakes at the end. Please do more. Great project, it's very important to separate your small farm from that busy road. Now any wandering animal or human won't be able to casually go in the wrong place.
I loved watching this one. Thanks, the out takes at the end cracked me up. You have a beautiful place there Anne thanks to all your efforts and sore muscles. Take care.
Looks great too, glad you had your friend Stu to help you
OMG, Anne! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! I GOTTA come see you, the new gate, and all of the animals!!!
Out takes are harlerious 😂.
Seriously though. Enjoyed watching. Always entertaining and real. Thanks
That gate looks really nice, great job. Love watching all of your videos, you do such a wonderful job with them.
love watching your videos nice job keep up the good work
You are soooo good at making hard work look like fun! 👍 The gate project is a great improvement!
Always beautiful videos and fun without taking the head. Continue like this !!!!
Been looking for some simple instructions on how to build a gate. This is going to help tremendously!! Thank you!!!
Beautiful fence! I love how the rest of it turned out! Love seeing your stories on Instagram!
It looks good Anne. Thanks for the video's i appreciate them
You are so totaly adorable!! However, that is not why I love you so much! It is because you are such a totally hard worker.YOU are Awesome.
thank you Anne . yup sometimes we just confuses our selfs
Nice and easy setup
That really adds a lot to the esthetics, the entire area is transformed great job, and outtakes too
Thanks so much! Yeah it makes a huge difference!!
Awesome job! Nicely done...
I like how you explain things 👌
Looks lovely Anne
Solid improvement!
Keeps the puppy in, that's the most important thing :)
i've set some fence post in my time and then I found red bag quickcrete, no mixing just pour in the hole and add water. Much easier and haven't had any issues with it.
Great vid Anne Love it Take Care and Be safe
Looks awsome
Nice Video ( Always! ) Have a nice wood working days and God Bless.
Another great project
Love everything you do😊✌️🙏🏼👍
Awesome thank you.
Girl you got it going on!
Very nice! Also like the use of the concrete vibrator. It helps compact the larger aggregate against the lower part of the post.
I was wondering what that was. Do they really call it a concrete vibrator? Are they available at home improvement stores?
@@leegreer Yes, that's what it's called and most people rent them unless you do a lot of concrete work. They're commonly used to eliminate air pockets when pouring foundations.
Love the probably after “you already have two hands” 😂 very inclusive
Great gate! Gotta keep Rigby safe.
Awesome work Anne! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Youre awesome!! I'll definitely be watching more of your videos. I just bought a 2 acre country property in Oregon that needs a lot of work and im aspiring to do more myself. My husband bought me my own set of tools so I feel empowered to go for it when he's not available to help. Whoohoo!
So glad you're here Heather! Thanks for watching, and be sure to give a shout if you ever get stuck.
Well done.....👍
Great Job Anne :) love watching your videos ! !Keep up the good work :)
Wow, you've been super busy. 👌
Looking stellar, amazing what a little reorganising and general clean up can do.
Fantastic job. 👍
Thanks Bill! Wait till you see the rest of this project! I’m super excited to show it off!!
@@AnneofAllTrades looking forward to it. 👍
Love the outtakes and the cat!!!
That’s a smooth gate.
Nice job looks a lot better. Along the long fence if you fix it up would be a nice spot to do some espalier fruit trees
closing in on 100k subscribers, Anne! You've grown a lot. That is one beeeeefy fence.
I think paw prints are a signature touch.
Awesome! I need a fence for my front yard in Gig Harbor!! I am not a recluse but would love to keep strangers out!! ;)
Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻looks awesome 😀😀😀😀😀
Fun stuff. Looks like you have English weather over there
Just a suggestion from someone who has built many fences using hog panels (utility panels..... whatever you call them in your neck of the woods) consider using a bolt cutter to cut the panels to size instead of a peanut grinder, quicker and quieter. Nice work, your place looks amazing!
Getting electric bolt cutters absolutely changed the way I fence!
1:45 - nice balet figures with accu screwdriver. :)
Love your videos!!!
Make sure you put gravel at the bottom of post .. before you pour concrete... it will allow for water drainage 👍😊
Looks great Annabelle, as usual:)
Nice gate anne.
Thank you!
Great work on the gate Anne! The weather has been nice and sunny i'm about 30 to 40 miles north :) Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Thanks JP yeah we’ve been enjoying a lot of sun too! I filmed this a couple of months ago
Your very welcome Anne! Sunny days are the best :) Have a wonderful weekend!😎
Great Job Anne, I bet your partner love's you !!!! xx Brian UK .
He is a good man and I love him too ;)
Anne, you could put a caster on the end of the gate to roll as you open n close the gate and will take the weight off the hinges
That would be great but unfortunately the drop from the grade of the hill doesn’t allow it. Strong hinges will hold it ;)
If you're worried about people possibly removing the gate by getting to the nuts on the back side you could probably just weld the hinge piece to the gate once adjusted and in it's final position. Just a thought.....
That looks like a very strong gate! awsome video! Your videos are a pleasure to watch, especially the bloopers at the end hahaha
Lookin good👍👍
New sub. , found you through Ashley H. Saw the video of the two of you turning willow bowls. Your smile ,happy personality & hard working attitude brought me here. You did an amazing job with this project,well done! Really enjoy your videos, thank you ✨
Thanks so much!
you have a new subscriber buen trabajo that's very nice
You my dear, are a BADASS!! I have went down a worm hole with your videos..No sleep for me tonight 😂 Your farm is beautiful!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Hope you enjoy the videos!!
Had a great time watching!! Your awesome !! love your channel. M. K. S.
And 'you're' not awesome.
And you are a douche. Glad we could get that established.
Love the videos. Always informative. What kind of sweat shirt is that and how do I get one it seems very warm. Your farm is coming along in nice
Nice 1
oh my gosh when you said you lived in Seattle I got excited lol, I live outside of seattle in Oly.
Oh mannnn! Sorry to break hearts here, but I actually moved to TN 😬
@@AnneofAllTrades no worries TN is a great place to move!
Very nice job. If I could make one suggestion before bolting a post to your home predrill the holes and fill with caulking or mastic. Much less likely to get water intrusion/ dry rot.
They are treated posts, so I think that’s less of an issue here but that is a great idea.
Hey now, no jokes about Seattle weather. It's funny how people from other states think it rains all the time and then, if they visit ... Oh the countryside is so green." Yeah, thanks to the rain, how is your fried yard in the Midwest? Nice work on the gate. I grew up there but left in 79. Not impressed by what's happened since but it's nice to see a little urban hobby farm.
Looks great! The AG supply store gate doesn't look that bad. Looks true "farmy" since most farmers wouldn't commit time or effort to a custom fabrication anyway.
My .02¢ - when you fabricate your new metal gate, consider also making (or just buying) some timber gusset plates for the hinged-end posts and crossbraces. Even with Timberloks the joints can open because of how much weight is cantilevered out as the wood dries.
That’s a great point! Will do!!
tha cat always has to put his touch in! haha cool gate!!
You're making your home look more and more amazing all the time! Great addition and I'm sure you'll love all the new trees when they mature. Great video as always and it's always fun to see the bloopers at the end. Helps remind us that we're all human. lol What was the attachment on the drill you were using in the concrete? Keep up your superb work!
A little tack weld on the nut will make it really hard to remove it from the bolt.
Carriage bolts and nuts aren’t too pricey to replace when you need to cut it off to take the gate off.
Still not Ft Knox, but you also aren’t securing gold bars either.
Russell Zollinger oh great idea! Thanks!
Would love to see some more blacksmithing videos, it seems every where I look there are construction and gardening vids but short of dedicated blacksmith channels, none are coming out.
I put out a smithing video two weeks ago. I’ve just finished my blacksmithing shop, and more are coming, but patience is a virtue, I’ve kind of got a lot going on around here ;)
@@AnneofAllTrades No I didnt, it never popped up in my feed. I will be headed there now though, thanks
Good info. It would have been really helpful to hear about some of the measurements and other decisions. Also would have been neat to see more detail on mounting the gate with one hinge pin pointing down.
Nah, everyone needs to make measurement decisions based on their own needs. This project had arbitrary measurements based on the materials we had available. Aside from the concrete, everything we used was recycled, so what was helpful for me wouldn’t be helpful for the next person.
nice job Anne:) as usual!\!
I'm still considering getting one of them animal trades T-shirts you sell.
I’d love it if you did!
Heya Anne.. I installed a gate very similar to yours though its only a 10ft. We used 8' rounded logs which are very plumb and we used the drill through bolts instead of the Jbolts. Even with the gate completely level and plumb.. it still wants to swing open. We have tried adjusting the hinges to change the angle of the gate so that it leans back and we have tried adjusting the bolts so the gate leans to far down or up. No matter what level or plumb position the gate is in it still swings on its own in the same direction. Are we missing a basic concept here? The gate does not sag and the post stays very firm.
What is the power tool you are using? I'm assuming this is for removing air bubbles
Great video! What is the long thing on your drill you put into the concrete for the posts?
Concrete vibrator..used to see bosch machine..i don't know if that's dewalt brand..
Nice! I like your gate How is it holding up? And what size posts did you use?
Where did you buy that gate? Hoping/Trying to find places that sell it near me.
In Europe is 30 celsius now .. :)
Молодцы👏👏👏
Great project, whats the hand held tool your using in the concrete...? Do you get post mix in the US, its a pre mixed concrete for fence posts, just pour it in dry and add water?
DEWALT DCE531B 20V MAX used for consolidating the concrete. Bags of pre mix concrete are about 3.75 dollars and cure to 3000psi. It's a convenience.
Any debate of pressure treated wood vs something like old growth redwood?
Cost, availability, and sustainability.
Who makes that blue latch bracket?
Wouldnt staggering or offsetting hinges cause the gate to open or close when you let go? I also saw in colonial Williamsburg VA a second pole on one side with attached weight to pull gate closed.
Yep it does, to some degree ;)
Boy those hands of yours should be classified dangerous weapons. :) Your place is looking good, thank you for sharing.
How high can Rigby jump? That opening at the top of the gate looks very exciting........Yard is looking super awesome Anne,
He can’t even jump onto the couch to snuggle, he has to be lifted on, so I think we are safe with the gate haha
I would so love to be your neighbor....or maybe even just come move in...I would totally be your slave helper...it would be super fun to help with all the cool projects u come up with. I'm just so amazed how clever your work is.
You're pretty awesome
Great video. You are pretty amazing. Give your puppy a hug for me. :-)
Rigby!!
Was the latch/ closure included with the gate? What brand? Can it be locked?
It's not included, you can buy them at farm stores and online. amzn.to/2MVFAHj
So Anne, how’s the gate holding up? Making any sparks or wood chips lately or you got ur hands full with ur garden?
I would love to see a full blooper video of some of your errors and mis-wordings It would be so funny i'm sure UK Steve
I've been working on compiling a master blooper reel for a full video of face palms someday soon :)
