Putting Up A Large New Gate

Question? why cedar and not redwood pickets? Thanks, Anyone!

It's been a while since this was first posted. Has it held up since?

I thought you used AI to have Forrest Gump narrate your video.

Why did you do the extra horizontal board through the middle?

braces are worthless , totally no support.

Very pretty and good joinery work.
Ludicrous flimsy hinges will not last 5 minutes.

The speaking is absolutely annoying. Look it up and read and you see how ridiculous you sound. Speak normal

Very nice job and video editing. What model and year is red car? Gary

It looks so nice 👍

Looks amazing 👏 I'm looking for a close up on the middle is that concrete drilling into the ground? What is that piece called ? How deep is that? What hardware is that called please

Not a very good video, didn't show us the hinges or the front of the gates, WTF??

That's a really good job. Looks great. Would be so good to have a parts list and instructions to help someone who's never done a fence before. Everything is so darn expensive to pay. In SoCal they want $450 labor just to install two ceiling fans. Without running any switches. Crazy

would this plan work for a 20' gap?

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
Please show us a new picture

Can you instal a remote control opener to this type of gate?

Hey great video! Love the process and thorough explanation. I have a similar gate built a few years ago and it's leaning a bit these days due to the weight. I've added a gate wheel for support, I'm curious if yours is still holding up fine since you created this video ?... Also are you located in WA state? The houses look very similar to mine. Cheers!

Where the link to the hinges?

Looked like it had sagged by the time you fixed the pickets on

Should have continued the lower brace up to the top corner mate.

Nice looking sturdy gate. Well done.

Only problem is you opening the gates. No room to swing doors!

NOW THAT is a really NICEEEE gate. Very strong and beautiful. How long are the braces you installed on your gate?

Great video and exactly what i needed for a job tomorrow. Those shims and brackets helped.

That’s gonna sag period

gate hinge should be a third of the gate width those look far to small to me

Seems like a brace from bottom (at hinge side) to top (at gate center) would be more resistant to sag? The two short braces support half the gate very well, but the remaining four feet will tend to sag?

That’s my dream fence….

Well done, thanks for sharing

ILOVE IT

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

Beautiful, I’m still getting my health bad but this is what I want to build .

Very nice!

Nice heavy gates but consider adding some spring loaded gate wheels at the center as they would help to stop any sagging over the years.

What size spacer did you use for the spacing? How thick were the boards for the spacing?

Great job 👍

Looks amazing, thnx for the inspiration?

Hello
What section of poles did you use? Thanks

I had the same question as another viewer but your answer was related to the rods in the middle. I'm asking about the hinges from the 6X6 to the 4X4's. It looks like you have 5 on each side - 2 diffrent styles. Do you recall what they were - I have 2 - 6 foot gates that I'm preparing to build using most of your design with some modifications. I'd like the strongest hinges I can find, or the ones you used (if they have held well) Thanks - great video.

Hi Joe, very nice job. Assuming the PT 4 x4s are spruce? Any issue with twisting are a couple years?

Amazing job! Nice work and thanks for sharing!

Looks amazing!! Great job

Very nice my man

🎶Cedar tree, how big it's grown..

Great video. However a few particulars would have been nice. What were some of the sizes like Gate post length, depth of holes and cost. I know the cost is relatively subjective and out of date but, It would still help during preliminary tear off calculations, even in today's market.

Any idea what hardware he used?

hea-vay doo-tee gates for sure. nice job, good video

8' swings are pretty big, lots of weight and compound leverage working with gravity's help against the post and frame, not that bad really. Two 45s are stronger than a 60 and a 30 though, but the slight notching is very clever and does work. Big, strong wood driveway gates are a craft all by themselves, lots of details to take care of. It took me years to evolve to my current, best designs, every component is important and does a specific job as part of the whole gate.

Exelente joe

Hey Joe - great work. Getting ready to do my own fence/gate. I have always found that the hinges are the weak point in my large gates. How do you find hinges large enough to bear the load of the gate? Thanks!
