All you need to know is how to make a gate out of a fence panel.
Make a gate from a fence panel.
A prefabricated gate can be one of the most expensive parts of your wood fence.
Instead you can use an extra part of your wood fence panel to create your gate which can cost you a minimal amount.
Fortunately you can use an extra fence panel to build your own custom gate for a fraction of the cost.
Once the fence is built there should of been enough time for the concrete to set.
I ve been meaning to rebuild one of my wooden fence gates that is over 12 years old.
Let me point out that the fence i built at my mom s already had horizontal pieces because i started with a fence panel.
The gate posts should have no problems supporting the weight of the gate now.
I have a family me.
But making a well designed gate for that fence can cost you a lot.
To strengthen the gate and add a touch of charm remove two pickets from the scrap end of the fence panel.
If you re building from scratch like the two gates at my house you ll need to make a complete rectangle.
When you re ready to build the gate you ll want to make a frame out of 2 by 4 boards cut to the.
See how i built a 12 foot wooden gate that won t sag.
Of you opt not to use concrete make sure you really compact the dirt around the posts well or the posts will work the hole and become loose.
Use a miter saw or miter box to cut the end of each board at an angle then secure the boards to the back of the gate using wood screws.
Once removed rid the boards of any nails.
So take that into consideration in your design plan.
A fence panel beside your lawn can make your place look more beautiful than ever.
