Biggest mistake I see other builders make is setting the hinge side on one post . I always build the hinge side off 2 post for extra support , basically taking half of the load . I also cut my gates out instead of building and attaching, but if it doesn’t fail and sag over time and your happy with it , that is all that matters . Thx for the vid.

Actually that's why i was watching this video to see how screwed the plank to the wall.. Great job!

I want to see what shape that rough built gate is in now, 3 years later

Talk about working smarter and not harder. Great job young man!!

Thanks:) I have built too many fences to keep doing it the hard way!

Looks great Taylor. Excellent instructional video as usual.

Good Concise Video. Thanks Mate

I missed the part where you screwed the plank to the wall. I'd really like to see how that is done.

Great job sir. Thanks for the helpful tips.

good job! , thx for posting this video

Thanks for the video!

Awesome!

You are awesome!!!! I just finished closing off my yard. I would suggest getting 2 L brackets for the opposite corner of the gates. Holds it much steadier. Thank you so much dude.

How do you open the gate if you're in the backyard?

How you open the gate if you are inside looks like you need different hardware to open the gate from both sides

The most helpful part is attaching the wood to the wall of the house, but you skipped that part. Bummer.

Does the gate frame have to be square? Lol what about rectangular? With the longer pieces runnning vertically and the shorter side running horizontally?

Verifying that your gate is square by taking diagonal measurements is fine, if your gate is going to be square. Most gates are rectangular.

Measuring across still works with rectangles. I should have clarified I was trying to make the frame parallel top and bottom. Square can be a misleading term, but in my day to day I use the term "square" to say parallel on both axis.

Would recommend anyone to add water to your posts before nailing or screwing anything onto said post. This will ensure the same level throughout the fence.

Usually add water last, because when you add water you gotta let the concrete dry before you can disturb it. You can plumb everything after you build it and it will turn out just fine :) but I don't have all the answers. Your way is just fine too.

What software do you use for 3d modelling? Thanks.

Fusion 360. Same software I use for my CNC machine and 3D printer. It's not great, but it does what I need it to do.

Can we get a follow up on this gate build?

Why the hell is the gate latch on the outside??

Looks great are you going to treat them later ?

Thanks brother! I cheated and bought pre stained. Saved me a little time.

It doesn’t have to be a square to be square, you can make a rectangle and it will still have the same dimension if you cross square it

Thanks

Also how tall is this fence?

Why did you use a standard "untreated" 2x4? What tooth count did you use on your battery powered saw...

Nice gate..however using a string line would have been better.2x4 tend to sag.

I have a heeler names Lily too!

10 points!!

If I pour it wet then I have to wait for it to set before I can build the fence. Dry, I can work on the fence then add water.

You're correct: this is not a hurricane rated fence. But realistically, what is a hurricane fence, besides chain link?

You don’t need a roto till hammer though

What app is that where you are making the gate. Is it a design program?

@@StrangeGarage Thanks for responding. The Kings Fine Woodworking channel shows a video, and I like where he describes setting the concrete for the post to run away from the post and down at an angle. Less rot at the base of the posts for sure. As water is woods enemy. 🪵 lol. Great videos guy. I am a fan. 👍

Not sure but it looks like your posts are not treated. I’ve never seen treated lumber with those slices in it. Just saying I see no treatment.

Very true, that's why you need to plumb your posts.

So...here its against code to attach fence directly to your house.

Code can be a funny thing. In my city you won't find a house where the fence isn't attached straight to the wall. In either case you would just have to do a post at the end if you can't just anchor it to the wall.

Seem awful cocky for someone watching instructional videos... I would expect anyone watching this video to be a beginner, without the faintest idea what you are doing. If you already knew everything you should have no problem at all building a fence without the help of an idiot like me.
