PLEASE NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that there were a couple of mistakes made in this video due to the technical nature of the MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME panel. 1. You must use stainless screws when in direct contact with MTX because the low levels of acetic acid in the panel will corrode metal over time. I have since replaced the screws (see follow up video: LINK TBC) Full usage guidelines here: files.mutualcdn.com/medite-sm... 2. The panel will still perform to its guarantee, however in order to achieve the highest quality paint finish, you're best off using one that does not have calcium carbonate in it, as it can react with the panel and cause blisters. The edges and grooves also needed to be sealed to get the best finish. MEDITE SMARTPLY recommend using one of their certified coating systems, available on their website here: mdfosb.com/en/products/medite...
In this video I make some external garden gates using Medite SMARTPLY's Tricoya Extreme MDF, which is a specialist exterior grade MDF. This is the quickest and easiest way of making gates that I can possibly think of, and not only that they should also require very little maintenance and last for many years as the material has a 50 year guarantee and 60 year expected life span!

I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.

@pgtips4240 3 года назад

Keith, nice job however I'm still not sold on the mdf at £250 per sheet. It's a great idea and fast but for me prohibitively expensive. Another great video though.🙂

@pzycoman 3 года назад

"I'll replace this screws at a later date" and other hilarious jokes to tell yourself....

@mikeholmes631 3 года назад

The reason your arc lines didn't match up when you were marking out using the string and nail is because the string was attached too far up the pen.....this resulted in the markers nib drifting in and out as it travelled round the arc (you can see this happening in the video). A strip of scrap wood with holes for both the nail and pen works better.

@kevincoogan3518 3 года назад

I'll look forward to that.

@fixstuffdiy2562 3 года назад

Be interested to see how well this holds up after a few months! If it works well, it’ll definitely provide a quicker alternative to more traditional gate building for those in a rush!

@sjv6598 3 года назад

I had a sample of this MDF and decided to test it. For six months I soaked it in water for a week then dried it out for a week and repeated for the entire six months. When compared to another small sample it hadn’t changed dimensions in the slightest. It was as good as new.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Amazing! I'm running a similar test actually, been outside since October so far

@ProperDIY 3 года назад

Wow - costly to say the least! However, I have just finished building a traditional mortise and tenon door for a side door to my garage (video will be out soon) and it took me over a week. Would have definitely been a lot quicker using MDF with some timber backing as reinforcement. I would be very keen to see an update on this material after a year or 2 in the UK weather Keith!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Cheers, will check out your channel. I built some "real" gates too recently and it was certainly a lot more work. I'll definitely do an update video great idea

Guaranteed 50 years ... Incredible! Great build, I would never have considered MDF for exterior. But with that guarantee ... go for it !! Don't forget to paint patch in that 12mm divet for the latch pivot !!

I think a v-groove bit in the router would make them panels stand out more

@k3yb0ardb0y 3 года назад

Or tilt the track saw over to 45 deg.

@DukeofDave 3 года назад

Exactly my thoughts

@MrBez007 3 года назад

I use to do that but I now use a straight bit or saw blade like Keith did. Think it gives a more modern look.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Could do, but personally not really a fan of the v groove look, looks too artificial to me, but each to their own

@karlpopewoodcraft 3 года назад

Keith I thought the gate looked great and I was already to start purchasing some until the price popped up 😂 Jesus that's expensive I thought it was going to be about 80 or 90 quid a sheet 😂 having said that I totally agree with everything you said at the end of the video all factual points mate. Definitely looks the part and I'm guessing over the next couple of years the price may well come down when more companies start supplying a similar product. Great information mate and well put across as always and that's not me being biased. 😊👌

@terencecharlesworth1499 3 года назад

It's great stuff mate use every couple of weeks I screwed a offcut to an outside wall about four years ago to see for myself and it's still there

@dougsaunders8109 3 года назад

Robin Clevett used it on a couple of skill builder projects. He swears by it.

@peterskidmore8222 3 года назад

EXACTLY what I was thinking Karl, £80-£90 /sheet. I couldn't justify, (to my wife), over £200/sheet. :D

@DukeofDave 3 года назад

You could do it from oak cheaper. I don't mind products like this being more expensive but that price is a bit of a piss take, its only possible to justify it by factoring potential Labour costs in at daft rates. But then your customer ends up with an expensive mdf gate... Brilliant.

@CartersShed 3 года назад

Great job Keith! I had never heard of this stuff before. It's got my cogs turning.

Hi Keith. That's a fool proof and quick way of measuring the gate size. Good idea the angled edge to help the rain drain off. Well explained the advantages using this make of water resistant MDF. I like the gap under the gates it's great for the hedgehogs. Tony

@doctordoom1337 3 года назад

I'm thoroughly enjoying the "hard intro" to your videos as opposed to the soft intro you were doing for awhile with the music. This is very reminiscent of the early days of your channel when you were building your workshop shed at your old house (long time subscriber).

Cheers Jon, yeah I've been phasing out the face to camera intros recently, just not feeling "right" anymore 👍

@pauledwards9493 3 года назад

I definitely see your point about saving time on labor but wow was not expecting that price. This is why it's great teaming up with companies like medite as I wouldn't have know this product existed

@StrawbyteWorkshop 3 года назад

I came across the exterior grade MDF a while ago and it's fantastic outside - way more durable than many plywoods I've used. Mainly 12mm soffits and barge boards, but more recently it machines great for CNC'd signs. It is pricey but I can get up-to 32 (typically around 24) signs out of a sheet so the material cost is around £8 - £20 per sign. Anyway great project. K.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Great idea about future video, I'll definitely do that. Cheers. I hope the cost comes down too although apparently they already can't keep up supply with the demand!

@AMG63 3 года назад

This is definitely a one for the annual update for sure, would like to see how it copes with any sort of water/moisture/damp on the edges and around the hinges where the screws penetrated the skin, hopefully you can do that for us 👍

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Will definitely do an update a year or two later, thanks for the idea

@MrSmid888 3 года назад

The bug bare with most of these latches is when they’re in place they don’t fit snug, at least 4mm play, and when windy the gate blows and rattles. You could weld something , but too much hassle, I drilled a 2mm hole and put a small screw through the hole on the latch where it sat in the keeper, and cut it flush on the other side. Used some Gorilla glue also. Works an absolute treat.Painted it black.

@1959ticktock 3 года назад

I liked how you try to make a serious case for using MDF in outside situations. Then I had to go back and listen to the price several times to let it sink in (that's 5 sheets of 18mm birch ply). I remember when you used to go round finding discarded wood to use Keith, and even made videos on how to do this. Oh well, I guess I don't have to follow your recommendations.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

I'm not recommending anything mate, nor trying to sell anything to anyone. Simply giving my own thoughts on what situations the material adds value. I still work with salvaged wood as much as I ever did so clearly you've not been paying attention

@thomasoakleyderbyshire9761 3 года назад

I had no idea you could get exterior grade MDF I am going to look into this when I build a new gate for the side of my house. I was just going to use feather board which is what it has now. Great vid and il watch again when I’m building mine

@oliverking9951 3 года назад

I guess time will tell if this MDF is as good as claimed 😀 Did you seal the exposed surfaces when attaching the latch?

@DiHandley 3 года назад

I must admit Keith that I am very envious of your brilliant Milwaukee tools. If I was to start again it would definitely all be Milwaukee gear. I’m also open to bribes if you’re listening Milwaukee! 😂

@tbwoodwork5529 3 года назад

It seems so counter intuitive to use MDF externally. Id be very interested to see how the gates fair with the weather over the next year or two if you'd be able to do a follow up video sometime? Love the content by the way. 😀

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Sure I'll do an update 👍

Came up nice. Surprised you didn't use a router with a long length of scrap as the pivot piece to cut the arc at the beginning. I must admit though, that is a very expensive sheet of mdf! I was contemplating looking it up until you mentioned that! I imagine it is more for industrial/commercial use than the home handyman

@Ocean-blue 3 года назад

Can you do a gate update in around 30 years. I might not be here then but it’s the longest I can wait. I just want to reassure myself that not spending £250 on this stuff was in fact a smart move. Thanks 😜

@Hollegripchannel 3 года назад

Nice gate , Crazy product ! I’ve read about it but never tried it . And great work Keith. Would be interested to see what others can make a “regular “ or more common gate for . . I typically can make a gate (1980x 800) for £60-70 pressure treated , framed ledge and braced , with Tounge and groove . It takes me approx 3 hours to make . Hardware I normally use is £25 . And because I’ve custom made it it take me under 30mins to fit.

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thank you. Wow that's really quick!! Curious, do you dry out pressure treated prior to use, or use it wet? I keep reading conflicting things, starting to think there is no right or wrong way!!

@Hollegripchannel 3 года назад

Rag 'n' Bone Brown hi Keith, it’s a refined process. I’ve been a carpenter for 21 years now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uW5P2S9JmJg.html Here’s the gate I normally make. Just a screen recording . If it’s absolutely dripping I typically let it dry a bit. Just so it’s easier to handle. But I use it as it comes . It’s all stored out side and lives outside. So doesn’t make much difference. I’ve seen some gates ive made after 8 years and still ok. With the arch , looks like an elliptical arch , you couldn’t draw that from one reference point 🤷‍♂️? If I remember correctly. Really enjoying the house renovation and again your gate is great . One thing a ring latch is sometimes better if it’s a thin gate , as all screws hit the braces . With the Suffolk latch the screw have to be very small for the bottom 2 or 4 screws , which can work loose . I always use gatemate now , strong and auto latch them selves . Thanks for replying Keith 👍

@zeroy 3 года назад

Very pricey and likely I can't find that in Ireland but I can see the advantages... A question, what is the little router you used here?

@MrBez007 3 года назад

Great job

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thank you

@steenfraosterbro3268 3 года назад

Interesting build. Glad you put the bracing on, both for looks and strength, since the scoring on both sides did create some nice "breaking points". Please get back to us in 50 years and let us know how it's holding up. Here (Denmark) a carpenter cost around £50 an hour, so this product could easily pay for itself.

@mickwilson127 3 года назад

Then you drilled the holes for that latch, did you have to seal the MDF before putting the latch on?

@adriansams6066 3 года назад

When using Tricoya and also the timber Accoya you can't use bog standard screws/bolts so no Galvanised,no Yellow Zinc passivated, Sheradized etc because Accoya and Tricoya contains acetic acid and those screws you used won't last 6 months. They specify Stainless steel 316 but I think you may be able to use brass but not sure. I only use stainless. When using it people need to make sure the paints,stains and glues they use are compatible with Tricoya/Accoya as again acetic acid is a major factor to consider. A couple of weeks ago I went to price a job and someone had made some bi-fold doors 12 months previously and they failed to paint the lock apperture,lock keep etc and the lock body had almost rotted through where the acetic acid had eaten away the metal lock body.. Adhesives wise PU is ok but PVA or Cascamite is a big no no. Tricoya like Accoya is a very good product but way overpriced for what it is. Accoya is cheap Radiata Pine which is treated whereby it seals the cells and prevents water from ingressing. One downside is it's horrible to work , very dusty and brittle too..Shop around and you can buy it for around £150 incl vat..

Nice gate Keith but that price for an 8 * 4 sheet of MDF (even outdoor use) is madness. Add in the need to use acid resistant A4 stainless fasteners and it all gets a bit silly really.

@jayyambrovich3740 3 года назад

Drilling out the slot for the thumb lever was a good idea. However, I would suggest that you seal up the slot in the MDF with paint soon.

God damn it, literally ordered a Suffolk latch from amazon earlier and like you ended up on page 25,000 and all seem the same with crap reviews. Hopefully the one I got is decent like yours but now I can copy how you did it 👍

Went to the big box stores for one a few years ago, and all of them were terrible.

Thinking of something similar. How's it holding up?

Very interesting video Keith. Why did you leave such a large gap at the bottom of the gate?

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Explained in the video - rainfall splashback 👍

Why didnt you use to original steel gate as your template??

@tim_biller 3 года назад

Great timing - I need to plan a new gate for the bottom of my garden. Price is pretty much what I expected, but the arguments you make in favour of it do stand up, without a doubt. My only question is why is there such a large gap between the gate and the ground? Cheers!

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Thanks Tim. I mainly left a gap at the bottom to prevent splashback from the rain. I think the recommendation is about 150mm from the floor, but that seemed excessive so I didn't leave quite that much! It's more about protecting the paint from moisture than the MDF itself as that should be fine getting wet👍 hoping I can get a few years out of the paint before I have to recoat 😀

Not to shabby for a diy job

Suffolk gate latch 👍. Unfortunately the irontite latch is “unavailable, don’t know when or if” on US Amazon. Thanks for the video.

I'm having lots of issues with the external gates I built with swelling etc but the external doors I bought have the same problems. It was a nice design but I guess I'm more of a traditionalist because I prefer the gates with braces

@RagnBoneBrown 3 года назад

Diagonal braces do you mean? I did consider adding one...

@ice4142 3 года назад

@@RagnBoneBrown yes I did mean diagonal braces. As a fairly new wood worker I actually enjoyed making my gates as I got to practise some joinery and other skills. I fitted an external combination lock to mine so I did need a thicker gate too.
