- I'm still working on the garden fence, and in this video I'm building a simple wooden gate for the entry. This wooden gate really is simple and great for any small scale farm or homestead that is trying to work on a budget and look nice too.
Material List:
7 - 1x6x8 treated boards
2 - strap hinges with nuts and bolts
2 - hinge pins
1 box each of 1 1/4" and 2" exterior wood screws

Great way to build a gate Sir - Thankyou
Good Job! It looks really nice.
I was thinking about doing this but with 12ft 1x6. Just bought a new house and need to remove the old gate so we can get our truck and trailer in the yard if we wanted. Also I'll add some bolt through just to give it that extra look. Then stain to nearly match the old existing fencing. I'm all about something simple and looking great a the same time. I was pricing some steel gates would need minimum two 10ft ones and the pricing just gets insane. Not even sure what someone would charge to build me a nice gate.. probably don't want to find out!
They sure do get expensive, especially if you're buying more than one. There's probably better folks out there to teach people than me. Good luck 👍
Cross brace is in wrong direction and over 45 degree.
I guess that depends on who you ask. The direction I braced the gate is called a tension brace. The other direction is a compression brace. A tension brace puts the hanging weight on the top pin. Compression rests the weight on the bottom pin, which is more important if it's a heavy gate (such as a privacy gate). My gate is fairly light and the hardware is oversized, so I'm not worried about it. Thanks for watching.
Nice design and no carpentry skills needed.
But please don't use your drill as a hammer, or encourage others to do the same.
Apart from invalidating your warranty, you could damage the battery, resulting in serious risk of fire or injury.
