Dear site visitors, from the master class presented by the author, you will learn how to independently make a gate for the fence.

As everyone knows perfectly, a good way to protect your home from uninvited guests is to build a good and solid fence. It will also be important to make a high-quality gate or door. Naturally, the material should be used the same as for the main fence: wood, metal, professional sheet. Wooden fences from a board are always in fashion, no matter the time, it is better to find better and more beautiful material.

For the base of the gate, a beam is best suited, and it should be beaten with a board. It will also be wise to strengthen the structure with metal corners, because over time the tree will dry out, sag, and thanks to the corners the door will remain unchanged for many years.

And so, let's look at what exactly will be needed to create a gate do it yourself?

Materials

1. beam
2. board 25-30 mm
3. screws
4. loops
5. metal corner
6. self-tapping screws with 6 facets

Instruments
1. hacksaw
2. level
3. drill
4. screwdriver
5. ratchet wrench with head
6. hammer
7. angle
8. ruler

Step-by-step instructions for creating a wicket for a fence with your own hands.

The first step is to take the dimensions between the fence posts where you are going to make the entrance, if the distance is large, you need to dig another pillar in order to reduce the distance, thereby making the door smaller.
Then you should prepare all the necessary tools.
It is better to use 3 loops for the gate, thus it is less likely that it will sag over time, that is, 3 points distribute the door weight in equal parts and the load on 1 loop, respectively, is less.
We also prepare a bar or a thick board for the manufacture of the base.
Then you should take the size between the posts.
The distance should not be too large, it is enough for a person to enter with 2 buckets of water, as they used to do in villages when there was no water supply and carried water in buckets.
After removing the size, you need to prepare the boards and lay them on a flat surface.
Next, we proceed to the manufacture of the base of the gate, the saw cuts must be even, so you should use a ruler and a square.
The beam is sawn according to the sizes (in each individual case they will be different, that is, we customize our physiological characteristics as well)
The design is best fastened with metal corners, so the door will last a very long time.
2 beams are fitted and pulled together with self-tapping screws with 6 facets.
And in this way the whole gate is assembled, then it must be tried on in the opening.
Before direct installation, it should be adjusted in height, as well as drive in a nail-limiter.
In the lower part there should be a clearance of the order of 5-10 cm, for which you need to put a board or a beam.
The author acted as follows, namely, he placed the bars and put them on the edges on a brick, thereby fixing in one position.
There should be a small gap between the fence post and the door, for which a small sliver or plank should be placed.
Be careful and do not miss this moment, a gap is required!
Next, you still need to check and set the level.
After which it is already safe to screw the hinges of the gate to the fence post.
It is better to use serious fasteners, because it will be reliable and practical.
Next, the base is finished with a board, it should be 10-20 cm smaller than the board. This installation option allows you to do everything alone without outside help, because the weight of the base without the board is quite light, and putting a board on the finished surface will not be difficult.
DIY fence gate
That's actually the fence is ready.
It remains to screw the lock and handles.
Thus, the author made the gate alone and without outside help. As you can see, there is nothing particularly complicated in this matter; anyone who wants to and who knows how to hold the tool in the hands of a person can handle it. So go ahead Friends!

This concludes the article. Thank you very much for your attention!

Listen to him ALL! ... And then analyze and weigh ....))))).
... But now, without my comment, he might not think about it ... Immediately accept as a "textbook" ...
That is why I try not only to write: "This is not right! The author is a handshake!", But to explain what exactly is not right, and WHY I think so ...

yes But you too can be mistaken, so whom should he listen to?

Do you want to "scream" in the void?

It depends on what purpose to scream ...))). Not so empty there!)))

You see, looking at homemade products, I (and you too), for example, are by no means going to copy something! Therefore, for me, for example, linear dimensions and other refinements are not important .. I "choose grains from the chaff" - I look for interesting solutions, I look for invisible "rakes" that someone has already stepped on ...)))). And then - “creativity”: after analyzing the collected information, I think over my own product and the technology for its manufacture ... (I am sure you are doing something similar). And therefore, until recently, I was also very surprised when someone asks questions about the details of the homemade product - “And how long is this?”, “And with which screws to fix?” ... etc.
..And it turns out there is a category of people who "need someone else's drawing" ... even a "sketch" is not enough for them ...
Again, beginners ... very "young" friends - they also sometimes perceive articles such as a manual! "How to do it!"
... That's it for this audience that I write such “critical” comments. So as not to repeat the mistakes of others! And not at all for the author of the product! (He himself already, I think, felt that "but it was necessary to do so here !! Ehhh, in vain I ..." dontknow

"Friend, hang the gate ?! And in response to silence, it's just that he is not on this site."
Do you want to "scream" in the void?
+ I decided to support you. Just the point, I simply expressed my agreement with your comments.

By level or plumb, the posts had to be installed. And here - the pillars are standing, the frame is assembled, what level to exhibit? Yes, as crooked as in the photo. )))

Or is she still flush
The outer side is flush with the rest of the fence, the gate opens into the courtyard, but not by 90 degrees, but by approximately 75, thanks to the “successful” choice of self-tapping screws. And in winter, the gate will freeze to the pavement outside.

The funny thing is that all this is called a "master class". )))

And the rest ... An article on "how botanists build wickets")))))).
The way to collect the "frame" .... is amazing! ... The creator of this gate thinks that the corners in this plane will hold something ??? ... I would have already put the corners "on the plane" ... It is the "corners", not the bent plates ... And in general, I can’t understand what is the purpose of the vertical beams here? To add weight ??? And why hang the frame, and then sheathe ??? Isn’t it easier to collect a gate and hang it on the ground?
And how did you fasten the hinges to the post? .. Why is the gate not flush-mounted? To keep the loops inside? ... Or is it all the same flush because there "extra space" is sewn up with the same board, and he did not want the gate to stand out, probably ??? Then why is this point not clarified?
There should be a small gap between the fence post and the door, for which a small sliver or plank should be placed. Be careful and do not miss this point, the gap is required!

Damn ... Yes, we have the same frame ALREADY ASSEMBLED !!! Suppose we did not take this point into account during assembly. If a pin is hammered, then the gate will shrink ??? ...)))) ... And if you take it into account, then WHY A PINCH ??? Any gap will be - it is laid in size !!!
And finally, a little, I'm sorry, I’ll go over the author of the article, not the gate ....
I read the article "The gate for the fence" and go to the apartment for the house! )))). I have a door for the wall there .... smiles

Normal people pre-plan the placement of gates and gates, and then they slap themselves on the forehead: but where to put the gate!
