You’re absolutely correct. The brackets are 10x more expensive and definitely not as cost effective. I also agree that the brackets hill hold far past the cedar. Most people never use the brackets because they’re way more expensive. Human nature dictates that you’re scared of what you don’t know. I saw the same thing in my comment section when I posted electrical videos using Wago lever nuts. It was a battle between US and European electricians. The US electricians swore that they’d burn down houses….. however, there was no data or evidence to support those claims. Largely anecdotal. The US electricians just don’t have the 2-3 decades of experience with lever nuts that the European sparky’s do so they immediately discredited the lever nut as dangerous. In reality, the EU sparkys are correct that it’s just as safe as wire nuts; however, lever nuts are also more expensive, so you likely won’t see that rhetoric translate to the US anytime soon. Long story long, I agree :)

A Diagonal brace would work better and look beeter.

You'll still have a saggy gate in about a year or so. Learn how to use lap joints and wood glue as well as a proper angle brace. Your gate will never sag if you build it properly. Not to mention that, when building a gate like you did, the top board goes all the way across and the side boards go all the way down, while the bottom board is supposed to be between the two side boards. The way you have it, water is going to sit on the top of the bottom board ends and rot the ends of the bottom board as well as the bottom ends of the two side boards. Also, those are the absolute wrong hinges to use. They are too small and will not provide the proper support needed to keep the gate straight. The ones you have on there before were the proper hinges, but the washers were missing, to the lag screw head pulled through. But hey, you liked rebuilding a poorly built gate once, you can perform that again next year.

In reality, you should cut your lawn long in the in the hot months and short in the cold months, because when it’s hot any loss of water is going to be detrimental to the lawn and when it’s cold, leaving it short will prevent too much damage when it freezes and someone inevitably walks all over it, the damage will be minimal, cause there’s not much grass to kill there. Needless to say, the old bosses lawns always looked like shit. Now, when I started working for my new boss, he had me do a bunch of chores around his house so that his wife would stop bugging him to do it. I built him a gate.
