How to Build a Wooden Double Gate That Won't Sag!!

See how I built my 13.5 ft wooden gate so that it doesn't sag! Have you wondered how to build a gate that will last? Here's the place to start! Whenever we bought this house both gates were in a state of disrepair. I don't like doing things twice, so making sure that I do it right the first time is worth the extra time and effort. See how the blend of notching, gluing, and screwing the frame can add strength, rigidity, and prove the test of time for you! I previously posted my other double gate build, but after many comments about including the latches, hinges, correcting the music volume, and better detail on the half lap joint process, I tried to make a better quality video with more detail. I have had my other gate for 4+ years and it is still going strong. For those of you who state that this gate will eventually sag, you're right... wood rots, metal rusts, and rock crumbles over the course of time. Nothing lasts forever, but if you're looking for a BETTER way to construct a gate that will last longer, is stronger, and cheaper than other materials, this video should surely help! Thank you for joining me for Rutter Renovations!

Heres a little helpful tip when putting the gate up. Lay them down as they would be when attached. Screw a board the majority of the length at the bottom and top. Now with some help stand it up in place and block it up. After the hinges are secured remove the boards. This will help assure they are perfectly lined up
@rutterrealtygc
@rutterrealtygc 10 месяцев назад
Nice. I didn’t mind this. Also, if the ground is uneven, depending on the height of the frame, they might not line up perfectly due to the need for a height adjustment.

A nice easy affordable demo. The finished product looks great. All gates do sag though. My experience is to have something in the middle for the closed gates to rest on when in the closed position. This lengthens its life. Also if you use properly dried timber and paint it afterward it will have more life.

The gates look good. They’re correctly braced. The next weak link is the post which can migrate through the earth with continuous load of the gate. That’s why you see closed gates resting on a block. If the gate is inline with the fence a cable and a turnbuckle from the top of the gate post to the bottom of the next line post should slow that down. I think that’s why those ranches in the movies had really tall gate posts with a sign bearing beam across the tops to keep the posts from leaning in.

@robertdewar1752 4 месяца назад
Exactly correct. Over time, the fibers in the timber bend with the weight of the gate. This may take several years. Another solution is to put a pre-loaded wheel on the gate end. Edit: Or just use a metal or concrete post.

I built a 55 foot picket fence including an 8 foot gate 4 feet high with 1 1/2 inch space between pickets. I built the fence and gate the same way. I then cut one 8 foot section right at the post and down the pickets and rails. I cut only until I had cut through one rail and put on a hinge. Three hinges on each side. I then cut through the rails to make 2 4 foot gates. I then put on the gate latch. I then put a pipe just in front of one gate down into the ground and put a metal rod in the pipe to keep that section closed which kept both sections closed.

A very well done and professional instructional. Lots of both visual and audio detail. Emphasis on safety was excellent. The only thing I do that's different, and this by no means a criticism, just a suggestion, is that I use gussets and carriage bolts on the corners where the diagonal pieces meet. Living here in the hot south west even the best glue doesn't last long because of the shrink and swell of the wood over time and sun light. Ten to 15 years at best. Thanks for your time and effort putting this together.

Pretty good guidance. The only thing I would do different is the cane bolt. In the "locked" position, you're only going through one bracket. That will be very easy to pull open. Get a properly sized cane bolt that always goes through two brackets in both the open and closed position.

i'm sure I'm not seeing this right, but that locking pin you dropped at the very end. You should lower that top 'pin holder' you created and lower it to the point that the pin is up high and clear of the ground but not so high that it comes out of the bottom pin holder, then just twist the pin and the gate swings and the pin is secure. This will be your 'the gate is sagging alert when it starts cutting a line in the ground. :) Great job and I did learn a lot, thank you.

@lurchor1734
@lurchor1734 10 месяцев назад
I'm with you on this one DontTrust. The pin should have a small protrusion on it. Look at your upper bracket and see if the hole doesn't have a small elongation somewhere; that's where the pin slides through if you want it to, and stays up if you don't.

6:08 i would move that top piece towards the bottom of the gate so the rod has more support and stability. then add a hook or something off to the side that the rod handle swivels into after lifting it out of the sleeve. that way you dont have to remove the rod every time you want to open and close the gate

I have that exact lower slide bar stabilizer. It is designed to use it and not remove it at all. There are bulges in it so all that you have to do is lift and twist, to catch the the bracket. Then twist and let it drop for re-locking.

Yes, you can make the initial cuts with a miter, but you will have to use a chisel and hammer to clean up what’s left. The more cuts you make with the miter, the easier cleaning it up will be.

@psidvicious
@psidvicious 4 месяца назад
The half lap is a great choice for this and you have the diagonal going in the right direction. But unfortunately it’s still on an angle greater than 45° (from vertical). So over time, you are still going to get some sag. To prevent it or keep it to the minimum possible, decrease the diagonal to about 40° and it will work much better. If you don’t want to put in an additional upright, that will increase weight, consider notching the diagonal into the top rail so you’re not just relying on mechanical fasteners for attachment.

Question: my gate (our house) is at the end of a cul-de-sac and therefore is at the end of a wind tunnel. Any ideas how to protect the gate against very strong winds during the winter? The last gate would blow open no matter how I barred it from the inside, plus it eventually weakened one of the mounting posts.
@rutterrealtygc
@rutterrealtygc 10 месяцев назад
We had a hurricane and I forgot to brace my fence. It twisted two of my gates shattering the frame. I’d recommend bracing them open, screwing the gates together during wind storms, or the best option would probably be putting in heavy duty posts, poles, or metal rods that can be removable. The little metal rods that come with these kits are good for everyday use, but not for wind storms. You need something longer and a greater diameter. I would probably put a thick metal cylinder in the ground and the have a removable rod.🤷‍♂️

@rutterrealtygc 11 месяцев назад
Great question! I haven't built one wider than 14' with 2x4s. You could try 2x6s I guess. :/ If I were building something that wide, I would probably start looking into a medal framing (like a farm gate that you can get from tractor supply) and attached boards to it. The cheaper route will probably be to try the wooden version though. Let me know what you decide and how it goes! :)

You should read the directions on that bottom latch. When installed properly, that rod goes thru both brackets, and stays that way.

Is that not more that 45 saw a video were they had nice blocks that can make a gate frame with them just just like building blocks and anything less that a flat 45 going to that inside top corner it sag with alittle wight on it the ture held all the weight no issues

Those half laps are real nice, but totally unnecessary. The angle brace takes all the load. If you secure the those joints well the gate will never sag. Anytime my angle exceeds 45 as measured from the vertical I install a 6" carriage bolt, washer and nut through both the top and bottom joint. I've used half laps when building gates using cedar, for decorative purposes. I built this nice set of cedar drive gates, and made cedar lattice for the top. (The rest of the job had cheap pine lattice as supplied by the contractor) It was a fun thing to do; I built them at home. I glued and clamped everything. I had intended to go back and reinforce the joints with fasteners. I forgot. The gates lasted from the mid to late 90's until Katrina. They were submerged.

You have to get custom hinges unless they open down hill that will elevate the gate when opening.

45 degrees is ideal… but this is a rectangle, so it wouldn’t go from one corner to the other.

This will 100% sag with a shallow angle like that. Keep the angle to 45 degrees or less, so the downward pressure gets redirected to the vertical 2x4 next to the hinge.
@rutterrealtygc
@rutterrealtygc 8 месяцев назад
There’s no way to do a 45 degree angle at that width AND meet both vertical portions of the frame.
@riggityronreviews
@riggityronreviews 8 месяцев назад
You don't have to extend the support all the way to the end. I'm no structural engineer, but the distance past the 45 degree support would not sag. @@rutterrealtygc On side note, the video was well done, I just don't agree with the framing support.
@riggityronreviews
@riggityronreviews 8 месяцев назад
Actually, I missed how wide that gate is. My goodness. I'm pretty sure there is no way to use wood to build a gate that wide that will not sag. Just seems like an unreal expectation and metal should be used for such a wide gate, IMO. @@rutterrealtygc

@@riggityronreviews You are correct about exceeding 45°. The way to fix it, using wood like this is: Run the diagonal at about 40°. Make a notch cut into the top rail so that you’re not just relying on mechanical fasteners.
