- I made a new entry gate for the garden. Turned out great! I also hung it on a T-Post. Below are the hinges you will need to do it.

I like the pipe fence hinge working on a T post. Good idea
Thanks for the idea! Great job.
Great idea. Thanks
Thanks, Steve! Exactly what I needed and easy to follow. Great job!
Good Job. Thanks for sharing.
Well done.
Thank you. Very nice and educational
Thank you very much for sharing. This is EXACTLY what I looking for my garden gate build😊😊😊😊
Yeah I'm gonna make this for our new fence
thank you!!
❤❤❤❤❤ awesome gate diy!
Good idea, very nice gate!
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! Thank you so so much:-)! We need to do this right away, replacing our 3' fence to a 5' or 6' fence as our boxer mix realized how to jump over to have a play date with our new neighbor dog!!! I was looking for something inexpensive and doable and this is it!! I truly appreciate you sharing your ideas and thoughts. Once done I'll share too:-)
I love it! I'm going to use this design in our garden and maybe our chicken yard too. Thank you!
Amazing video 10/10
Right on. Looks like that worked out well.
Thank you!
Great idea thank u!
This is awesome. Good job sir.
Thank you for watching!
Always enjoy your videos Steve.
Thank you my friend!
Thank you so much for this! Great idea
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this, God bless y'all too.
Same to you!
Great job! Looks nice! Appreciate the video.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this, I'm in the process of reseeding a slope that's eroding from our dogs wearing it down to dirt. I've circled the slope with 3' wire fence and was looking for a way to hang 2 gates, one at the top and one at the bottom for lawnmower access since our lawnmower shed is at the top of slope and our yard is at the bottom. Nice job, I think I'll paint mine too.
I am working with a much smaller suburban row-home type of a yard, but code mandates a fence must have a gate going to the alley, so this is perfect because I happen to have a roll of welded wire fencing, a handful of t-posts, and a yard in need.
Very good, this got us going on our gate. FYI the linked Amazon hinge for the T-Post is too big for the t-post. We found the right sized hinges at Home Depot. The hinges for the gate worked well without modification. Also we found that a regular chain link fence latch attaches nicely to the t-post to hold the gate in place when closed.
do you have a link for the hinges?
@@grantimagesllc8720 I don't have a link, it was a generic part from Home Depot. We just tried parts out at the store until we found the right combination. We did find that attaching the hinge sideways to the t-post made it so we didn't have to modify the hinge.
@Shelby Marie💖 The hardware was unmarked and came in generic unmarked boxes so I wouldn’t be able to tell you without going back to the store. I just had to spend a while trying different combinations of parts. Sorry not to be of more help. Good luck!!
That is so cool....😎🤙👍🤗
Wow nice job love how you did that I’m in the middle of building my fence now gives me some good ideas love the hinge idea !
Thank you!
This is great! Exactly what I was looking to do for our chicken run. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Brilliant hinge idea. You solved my problem! Thank you. Not so sure about the blue color though.
Great video! Very cool
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I have decided to make a gate on t post garden fence. I found some t post male hinges on Amazon as well as male ones that screw into the wood gate. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for a latch and your simple hook gave me an idea. Thanks again for your video. All the best from north Texas. God Bless
Thanks for watching!
We have 1 3/4 T posts. I assume we would use the 1 3/8 tension ring? Trying to extend a run but we will need a gate. Love this idea!
Great video
Thank you!
This is pretty genius. Rainman of the woodshop. 🤣
Wish I had seen this a year ago. My solution has not worked well at all. I can probably retrofit the mess I made to use your idea. Thanks for posting this.
What size staples did you use to attach the wire panel? Very clever and attractive design!
Great video! So you never used the 2x3's?
Would the rabbit hutch you built a while ago be sturdy enough to be put outside for my rabbit if I built it and put a tin roof on it?
Where did you get your wooden trellis?
Great video, but you kinda cheated on the latch since you attached it to the wood structure. :) What would you suggest for a latch if we only have t-posts?
"Did you find a solution to having only a t-post to latch your gate to? My guess is to use something as simple as a zip tie on a second t -post, or a ground stake at the base of the gate that can hook up out of the way when opening and closing the gate.
You have to forget about that little hooking device to come up with something creative and functional. My nephew suggested a colorful rope attached to the gate that can wrap around the t-post at the top.
Lots of ways to do this, right? Good luck!
@@GetRealBaby We ended up creating a gate with 4x4 posts so the latch would have something to go into, and of course making for a much more sturdy gate. Still doing great after almost a year.
@@WallyJ2K I'd like to get away from the 4x4 posts...too expensive with the cement that goes along with planting them in the ground, not to mention the work involved.
I'm thinking of an all t-post fence with twisted wire, not welded wire, and bracing each corner t-post with an easy on/off 2x2": brace set at a diagonal to the t-post.
We only want to keep out stray dogs and coyotes as well as raccoons, skunks, o-possums, and deer..
what kind of screw did you use to attach the hinge to the door? You never showed that
What is the thing called that you attached to the door? I cannot find it!
Might be a stupid question but are the middle pieces cut at a 45 from the center?
God sent your video to me today. Thank you! God bless you guys!
nice job! I'm going to do this! what are those metal bracket pieces you used to secure the 2x4's together to make the gate itself?
They were just angles I purchased from Home Depot.
I noticed your tposts aren't braced in the corners - have you had any trouble with leaning over the years?
Love this! What kind and size screw to attach pintle to wood?
I am wondering the same. Did you have any success finding an answer?
Just made my own pallet gate. I would've done this hinge if I didn't have some salvage.
💕💕
Wonder how I could latch the gate shut if I don't use a trellis...
What size gate hinge did you use? Also, how well does that galvanized fencing work at keeping critters out of the garden? I'm trying to decide between that and hardware cloth.
It depends what you're trying to keep out. This works perfect for deer and rabbits, although rabbits could get under the back gate I have. If you are trying to keep woodchucks or other critters that can dig under out, this would not be ideal. We use this strictly for deer mainly and some for rabbits. We have tons of deer here.
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead we have squirrels and rodents to worry about. I'm putting hardware cloth under each raised bed to only let worms and beneficial insects through but nothing should be able to tunnel up. I'll probably use the 1/2" hardware cloth for the fence too. We have the garlic spray repellent as well, but something still got to a couple of my cherry tomatoes last year. Maybe it was birds.
@@Melody-lc6dt Great idea. We have issues with birds a little, but not much with squirrels.
Awesome video! Where would I find the hinges?
I purchased at Tractor Supply.
Hey in your shed did you leave the top area open ? Looks like light coming through up top for ventilation. I wish I would have had that done on my shed. Hoping to build one soon with proper ventilation.
Which shed? My new one?
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead oh I think I mistaken the lights in the garage for open space.
At the two minute mark, when attaching the cross bar, how are you screwing through the metal bracket?
The metal corner bracket is small and the screw was above the bracket by about a half inch or so.
You are a fucking genius. Thank you!
Sorry, you and everyone else will probably think this is a very stupid question. How do you get and secure the T posts into the ground? Just pound them in with a hammer? I like your gate. Thanks.
I don't think it's a stupid question! Yes...you pound them in the ground about 2 feet. They have a piece welded on the bottom that helps keep them secure in the ground. Thanks for watching!
Of course, like every other RUclips video with a link to Amazon, they don't have the hinge.
Sorry about that. I thought I put it in there. I'll try to do it tomorrow.
Can you do pigs next?
Right after cows.
Love the idea HATE the music
Oh, I kinda liked it.
I don't understand exactly how your hinges work . The video didn't show what the other part of the hinge attached to . Please send me a picture , I have to make this in 2 weeks !
It is in the video pretty clearly actually.
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead wow , I just asked you for a little help ! Why even make a RUclips video to show how to do it if you won't even answer a simple question !
@@melaniegoforth5291 I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you.
@@TheCookFamilyHomestead I think they mean how do you mount the Pintle to the actual gate- what screws or bolts did you use?
@@angiemalone8262 exactly ! Thank you ! I have it pretty much figured out , not exactly the same but it works 😁
Rule number 1 of howto videos. 1. Assume your audience knows nothing.
Would have been nice to see the process of how you attached the hinges
Absolutely agree. This was very sketchy. Just showing the individual pieces in the garage wasn't as helpful as if we'd been able to see them actually attached step by step, posts installed, and an up-close on how they worked.
