How to Build a Gate on a Wood Fence | Gate Bracing Pt.1 

That 45 deg brace info is absolutely essential. Thanks.!!

I recently got into fencing and want to start my own company one day , your videos are so helpful and improving my work!

Best explanation of the bracing being 45 degrees and less being the goal,

Thank you for your explanation. I see so many people on wide gates going over the 45 degrees and claiming they are no sag gates. And then some that are far less than 45 degrees and was wondering why. I am planning on building a double gate in a 10 foot span in the next couple of weeks with horizontal pickets and you most likely saved me from making the same mistake. I appreciate your channel!

It’s rare..but I think I finally found someone who loves fencing as much if not more than me😎🤘

That 45 degree angle makes more sense to me, than when I was in school. 🤣🤣 however I was planning on redoing my double 6’ gate, because it was weak and already sagging. Thanks for the breakdown and knowledge and now I have you to look forward to in my future projects.

Great video, explained perfectly.

Great explanation! I will pass info onto my father who has been doing things by guess for 50years!

Now I know why our 5ft. gate started sagging in short order, 1st time fence DIYers and we did pretty good until the gate...Thank You for this Awesome Training.

I have learned so much from this man. Thank you sir for all the info and such a detailed video.

Super helpful. Thanks for the video.

Great explanation. Thank you.

Outstanding content ❤

I am planning on a 15' section of fence, with a 4' gate, on one side of my house (replacing a chain link with wood). I intend to follow your videos for the construction. I will bolt two 4X4s for the hinge side of gate. I have read that a gate should always open away from public view and into private, however, if I use the double post for the hinge side, the gate will have to open outward not inward. Do you worry about this when you build gates on residential property? Great, informative videos. Thanks!

Thanks, bro👍

So the low side of the angled brace nearest the hinges is required to be as close as possible to the hinges, or can it be a few inches away towards the center of the gate?

Bestbin the business, look at the infinity hinge for future uses

I understand the example of going over 45 degrees. Are there any pros and/or cons to going 30 35 40 degrees instead of 45 exactly?

How did you choose the size of the hinges?

The cut from the open side (latch side) what measurement off the post?

You should be a teacher bro!

Should I make a double door for a 52 inch deck mower or a 5ft gate

What if my dimensions from bottom rail to top rail us 27.5” and the width of my gate is 48”. If I heard you right I would measure over no more than 27.5”?

That's a strap hinge

someone get this man a new pair of gloves

Thank you! Great video, but the construction background noise is very distracting.

Man this guy no way has 30 some years experience I’ve got 36 years experience an never had a call back on a job I challenge u on any type fence speed straight solid and customer satisfaction I’ll challenge u for whatever job pays

There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.

Yea , weld a steel frame. That’s the ONLY way to build a gate! And better yet use steel posts. Wood warps and twists and is nothing more than a call back and loss of profit!
