I wish the instructions in the box matched this video. My kit came with a box labeled “wood screws” so I used them for the frame. But apparently the wood screws for the frame were in a separate unlabeled bag. And the paper directions said 59 inches for the side boards, not 60. Frustrating.
To everyone asking if you can make this gate 5ft wide. Yes, you can, but you would probably want some better hinges. These hinges look like trash. The size of the gate is only determined by the wood that you cut for it.
Note to future viewers: Do NOT use the measurements in this video. Use the measurements on the paper instructions. And you don't need two 2x4x8s, only one.
Can we use 2 kit for double doors?
Any way to do an outward swinging door? Or do I need special hinges
Can the gate be finished with horrizontal boards on both sides of the door so the fence can have the finished look on both sides?

Can I use 2 of these kits to create a 10’ opening with no center support?
yes you can but would still need to support it with a drop bolt
Where can I purchase your product. My wife wants a horizontal gate for the sides of our home
You can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes.
could a lock be added to the gate?
hi Richard, Yes a lock can be used on the gate latch that comes in the Gate Kit pack. This latch does actually dead bolt lock from the inside as well.
Hello. Since the frame finish is rubber can I make my gate 5 foot wide?? Thanks in advance.
I had the same question. On their website it says up to 60 inches wide and above that you gotta add supports.
@@walterdudman123 I will work. I built my fence and it looks a amazing. You can order the rubber strips to make it look like the rest of the fence.
@@bigh8121 From where did you order the rubber strips? Also did you out or in swing your gate?
What is the extra 2x4x8 for? The video only uses one but I bought two.
do your math and explain why you would think you can frame a 6ft gate with only one 2x4x8

wanted to see how the thumb lever is installed
Hi, there is Thumb Latch instructions inside the package but if you look at any video with this thumb latch style they are all very similar.

if you have a 6ft fence how will one 2x4x8 be enough? You better go back to pre-k
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
I did it myself with the Woodbex plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
