The wife wants a gate on our deck. we have a large opening (4ft) as well. Glad I ran across your video. I like the 30" and 18" gate idea. a 4-foot gate would never have held up and taken up way too much real estate when opening. Your idea is a much more practical solution.. ty. Btw, did you ever produce a SketchUp file for this?
something doesn't make sense. you must have done your dados twice. .because the beginning of the video doesn't match the end of the video with the way the orientation of the dados are on the bottom and top rails
Great video. The ability to improvise appears to be a long lost art, you have it.
Wow back in the day.
I like your simple straight forward design and video presentation, thank you for sharing. My deck has a 6'wide staircase between two opposite facing 45° deck rails so I have to modify my posts to face each other then build 2 Gates like this. My projects always have an extra layer of challenge lol
Can you post links of the hardware you bought please?
Nice job! I am starting mine tomorrow. And thanks for showing you are human ! "Measure twice, cut three times" LOL
Everything that I could have expected very good
