119 - Driveway Gate
This video is about how we built our new driveway gate.
There were a few things we wanted our gate to have. The gate is about 8’ wide. We wanted it to be a single and not a double gate. We wanted it to open both inwards and outwards.
We wanted to make sure it would never sag, and we did not want to add a wheel for support.
The posts are cedar, 8”x8”x10’ long. They go 3’ into the ground. They were installed when our concrete patio was poured. The rails are 2”x8” cedar and the pickets are 1”x6” cedar. This is a very heavy gate, so we had to use three massive strap hinges.
We are offering free plans that you can modify for your own build.
Things I used in this build:
Jigsaw amzn.to/3C0k2RJ
Random orbit Sander amzn.to/3eB8k5c
I also frequently use my Ridgid Belt Sander amzn.to/2GF56B7
Router amzn.to/3AXw8tF
Flush trim router bit amzn.to/2XudbBd
Drill & Impact Driver amzn.to/38nvta8
Drill Bit set amzn.to/2IgxpXp
3” deck screws amzn.to/2U5df4V
2-1/2” deck screws amzn.to/2IfQ7yq
1-5/8” deck screws amzn.to/3vuBknR
