Good stuff buddy. I'll be using this information to make a double gate.

Good job 👏 my amigo,,muy bonito trabajo,,

Kool I couldn't do it better, now I have knowledge very easy to understand. Bravos 👏 due

You are one of the few that mention outward swinging gates.. Thank you... I usually have to build a little trim frame on those.. What do you do for no gap?

Amazing video. Thank you so much boss!!!

Good Video, thanks for sharing ! Looks simple enough to work ... wondering now if you have a Gatemate for fences with metal posts ... ?

This was a great video, and I'll tell you why a little later.

very helpful, ty

Very helpful, thank you!

Fantastic for the money!

So when you measure 1 1/4” for the hinge bolt do you drill the center of your hole on 1 1/4 or is the hole inside or outside of the 1 1/4. ?

Very helpful.

Hi Norman, this is awesome and gives tips for tomorrow installing similar gate (fortress gate) from Bunnings tomorrow. Thanks.

Well done!

Thank you so much!

Thank you my good Sir…….

I was trying to make a gate with galvanized post and wood picket boards but Home Depot and Lowe’s don’t have everything I need so I’m just going to to have to do all wood again

Would mixing a cedar gate with a pressure treated fence look good? Or should you stick to one sort of wood for the fence and gate?

One sort

I have mixed them and they look fine. It depends on your taste. There is no functional or technical reason not to mix them. They just have different texture and color. If that doesn't bother you, go right ahead. :-)

perfect thank you

this is great just what i was looking for but have 2 gates any vidio on that 1 is 72" can be smaller if need be the small gate would make up whats left for the main in and out gate

Could you add pickets to both sides so one side isn’t ugly frame without obstruction to the swing or door?

There is no reason why you cannot add fence boards to the inside. You will have to trim the two boards on outer edges of the gate to fit depending on how much clearance you have between the frame and post. You don't want the boards to interfere with the gate closing or opening. Also trim around the latch arm unless you want to purchase longer bolts to hold it to the frame. I would install the pickets on the outside of the gate, close the gate, install the inside pickets except for the ones on the outer edges and use a couple of scrap pieces to see how close to the edge you can install the boards on the inside and trim accordingly. Good Luck

will this sort of metal frame rust over time? Would it be better to just use wood instead without the steel frame?

Wood rots and steel rusts. Either one is gonna need to be maintained... Steel won't sag...

Thank you .

can i use this for my trailer ramp?

My gate mate came with eye bolts. What are they for and how to use them?

I wish I watched the video first I would have purchased this product for sure. Very good step by step video.

Yep thanks bud I have a friend that has dogs in their gate broken thank you

Hi Norman, Can you do the same process for a gate with brick block posts. Appreciate advise, thanks.

@normanwhitney8713

If you drill out the brick with a 5/8” concrete drill bit and recess the j-bolt into the brick and maybe use epoxy to hold the recessed j-bolts secure that can work.

Are the bolts long enough to go through a 6x6 post?

@normanwhitney8713

3 жыл бұрын

So they are only long enough for a 4x4 post. Sometimes I see people who just recess the bolt in the back of a 6x6 and it actually gives it a cleaner look because the bolt is mostly hidden on the backside. However you can purchase longer ones from most hardware stores.

@@normanwhitney8713 perfect thanks. I actually like the idea of drilling out a larger hole on the back side and recess the bolt to hid it.

How would you install it on metal posts?

@abbeyhardware

3 жыл бұрын

This is designed for wood applications, but could possibly accomodate if the metal was a heavy enough guage, but if overtightened could bend the metal.

What about steel posts?

f the framing is on the inside of the fence, then how do we open this gate from the outside? I am asking because I don't see any latch on the outside. Please let me know asap! Thank you.

Hello, we recommend the EZ Gate Latch, or simply attach a string to the latch and feed it through a small hole in the post

What color are those board

good

How does the gate open from the outside? You didn’t show the complete hardware needed for an entrance gate

So the metal never gets bolted together??

Correct, the 2 2x4s hold the metal frame to the desired width.

I think the reason the gate sags is the post starts to get old they rott and move

@mrreams711

They sag well before rot forms. Corners are not held at 90 degrees therefore they sag, turning into a parallelogram.

How much for a 54 inch set?

Yes. If you want your gate to open inward. Follow this video step by step. It you want it to open outward like I did and messed up my posts following these directions - do NOT follow these directions lol. I feel like this guy owes me a post. Smh

What I mean is when u want it to open outward because it’s a bolt u and not a hinge gate the cedar will hit ur post and not open all the way. I was 1.25 inches on the other side (like he said). Can’t get any closer than that. Regardless it’s sturdy just not for outward opening gates unless u want some odd looking space so the cedar can clear when u open outward. Or if u want ur cedar on the inside LoL! Look silly as hell from the street.

Not, I don’t like it,

Try to do it with Woodglut plans :)
