Hi from down under. I'm a 73 year old lady on the tail end of my small gate. Just need to brace it which I hope to finish today. I really like the lock and has given me an idea with mine. Thank you for sharing, wish you lived closer as you would be my handy man but I guess it keeps me active. Cheers.😊
Fantastic looking gate and locking system. Don't know what kind of wood that is. Will it take the weather conditions? Very nice job, impressive. God bless 🙏
Hi Peter, I never go over 45 degrees on braces as then you lose the strength and gate will sag. Thats why you don’t see any angle bracing on bridges over 45 degrees. Hope this helps and thanks for the feedback. Rick
You put a high security lock on a fence someone can just climb over? That makes no damn sense, son. Did the customer _demand_ it be made this way? Did you try to talk them out of it or did you just take their money and run? The bolt looks very impressive, but the small screws holding it on will tear it with a few good kicks. Why wouldn't you use carriage bolts like everyone else?

Hi, the timber is Pressure Treated Redwood from Northern Sweden.

Thank you buddy nice job .!!

Why didn't you extend the diagonal braces right to the 2 by 4 edges?

What size timber post should I attach to the wall for a 6’ gate
Hi Barry,
I generally use 85mm x 85mm posts but less if the gap is tight.
Thanks
Rick
Parabéns 👍🏻 👍🏻
Excellent hinges...the rest is over the top and just adds expense for little gain.
Thank you. I work to customers requirements and only use quality products.
