You are one of the few that mention outward swinging gates.. Thank you... I usually have to build a little trim frame on those.. What do you do for no gap?
I was trying to make a gate with galvanized post and wood picket boards but Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t have everything I need so I’m just going to to have to do all wood again
this is great just what i was looking for but have 2 gates any vidio on that 1 is 72" can be smaller if need be the small gate would make up whats left for the main in and out gate
I have mixed them and they look fine. It depends on your taste. There is no functional or technical reason not to mix them. They just have different texture and color. If that doesn't bother you, go right ahead. :-)
There is no reason why you cannot add fence boards to the inside. You will have to trim the two boards on outer edges of the gate to fit depending on how much clearance you have between the frame and post. You don't want the boards to interfere with the gate closing or opening. Also trim around the latch arm unless you want to purchase longer bolts to hold it to the frame. I would install the pickets on the outside of the gate, close the gate, install the inside pickets except for the ones on the outer edges and use a couple of scrap pieces to see how close to the edge you can install the boards on the inside and trim accordingly. Good Luck
If you drill out the brick with a 5/8” concrete drill bit and recess the j-bolt into the brick and maybe use epoxy to hold the recessed j-bolts secure that can work.
f the framing is on the inside of the fence, then how do we open this gate from the outside? I am asking because I don't see any latch on the outside. Please let me know asap! Thank you.
This is designed for wood applications, but could possibly accomodate if the metal was a heavy enough guage, but if overtightened could bend the metal.
So they are only long enough for a 4x4 post. Sometimes I see people who just recess the bolt in the back of a 6x6 and it actually gives it a cleaner look because the bolt is mostly hidden on the backside. However you can purchase longer ones from most hardware stores.

Yes. If you want your gate to open inward. Follow this video step by step. It you want it to open outward like I did and messed up my posts following these directions - do NOT follow these directions lol. I feel like this guy owes me a post. Smh
What I mean is when u want it to open outward because it’s a bolt u and not a hinge gate the cedar will hit ur post and not open all the way. I was 1.25 inches on the other side (like he said). Can’t get any closer than that. Regardless it’s sturdy just not for outward opening gates unless u want some odd looking space so the cedar can clear when u open outward. Or if u want ur cedar on the inside LoL! Look silly as hell from the street.
