How to Hang a Gate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- A new puppy and a busy Seattle street meant installing a driveway gate was a necessary project. From setting the posts in concrete to sharing a few tips on hanging a tube gate, I had a blast building this gate with my friend Stu and Rigby Puppy is now safe and sound. I finally found a use for some LED lights I'd purchased a ways back, did some re-landscaping, and the whole driveway looks to have gotten a massive makeover. These Behlen Country farm tube gates are fairly easy to hang, but it's important you brace and set your posts properly to avoid sagging over time.
I'm Anne of All Trades. In Seattle, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. This channel is aimed at sharing my passion for working with my hands, being a good steward of the earth, and preserving antiquated skills and traditions.

Dang! You are one strong young woman! Great build!
I was going to come down and remove your gate bolts when you weren't looking, but now you put the nuts on the inside and made it so hard!
Foiled again!
Good to see you take the time to mix the concrete the right way instead of just pouring it in the hole.
You never cease to amaze me. A young woman who is very upbeat and full of energy. You, girl,are a contagious person. You inspire many,many people. I'm trying to determine who has more positivity you or April. I can say this it's a very close call.
Great video Anne. Your place is coming along nicely.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Nice and easy setup
I would love a second third hand! Also a first third hand! The fence is looking great and a safe Rigby Puppy is a happy Rigby Puppy!
That really adds a lot to the esthetics, the entire area is transformed great job, and outtakes too
Thanks so much! Yeah it makes a huge difference!!
Great job. The amount of torque that 12' gate puts on that post is enormous. Good bracing and support. I never thought about greasing my gates, guess im doing that this weekend.
You are doing a magnificent job, young lady!
Just a suggestion from someone who has built many fences using hog panels (utility panels..... whatever you call them in your neck of the woods) consider using a bolt cutter to cut the panels to size instead of a peanut grinder, quicker and quieter. Nice work, your place looks amazing!
Getting electric bolt cutters absolutely changed the way I fence!
I Love the outtakes at the end. Please do more. Great project, it's very important to separate your small farm from that busy road. Now any wandering animal or human won't be able to casually go in the wrong place.
Looks great too, glad you had your friend Stu to help you
Looks awsome
Been looking for some simple instructions on how to build a gate. This is going to help tremendously!! Thank you!!!
Out takes are harlerious 😂.
Seriously though. Enjoyed watching. Always entertaining and real. Thanks
Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻looks awesome 😀😀😀😀😀
Love the probably after “you already have two hands” 😂 very inclusive
You are so totaly adorable!! However, that is not why I love you so much! It is because you are such a totally hard worker.YOU are Awesome.
love watching your videos nice job keep up the good work
OMG, Anne! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! I GOTTA come see you, the new gate, and all of the animals!!!
That’s a smooth gate.
Great gate! Gotta keep Rigby safe.
thank you Anne . yup sometimes we just confuses our selfs
Great vid Anne Love it Take Care and Be safe
I loved watching this one. Thanks, the out takes at the end cracked me up. You have a beautiful place there Anne thanks to all your efforts and sore muscles. Take care.
Very nice! Also like the use of the concrete vibrator. It helps compact the larger aggregate against the lower part of the post.
I was wondering what that was. Do they really call it a concrete vibrator? Are they available at home improvement stores?
@@leegreer Yes, that's what it's called and most people rent them unless you do a lot of concrete work. They're commonly used to eliminate air pockets when pouring foundations.
Love the outtakes and the cat!!!
Another great project
i've set some fence post in my time and then I found red bag quickcrete, no mixing just pour in the hole and add water. Much easier and haven't had any issues with it.
I think paw prints are a signature touch.
Nice 1
Looks lovely Anne
Wow, you've been super busy. 👌
Looking stellar, amazing what a little reorganising and general clean up can do.
Fantastic job. 👍
Thanks Bill! Wait till you see the rest of this project! I’m super excited to show it off!!
@@AnneofAllTrades looking forward to it. 👍
Youre awesome!! I'll definitely be watching more of your videos. I just bought a 2 acre country property in Oregon that needs a lot of work and im aspiring to do more myself. My husband bought me my own set of tools so I feel empowered to go for it when he's not available to help. Whoohoo!
So glad you're here Heather! Thanks for watching, and be sure to give a shout if you ever get stuck.
Awesome! I need a fence for my front yard in Gig Harbor!! I am not a recluse but would love to keep strangers out!! ;)
Nice Video ( Always! ) Have a nice wood working days and God Bless.
Awesome job! Nicely done...
Great work on the gate Anne! The weather has been nice and sunny i'm about 30 to 40 miles north :) Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Thanks JP yeah we’ve been enjoying a lot of sun too! I filmed this a couple of months ago
Your very welcome Anne! Sunny days are the best :) Have a wonderful weekend!😎
Solid improvement!
Keeps the puppy in, that's the most important thing :)
Awesome work Anne! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Beautiful fence! I love how the rest of it turned out! Love seeing your stories on Instagram!
Always beautiful videos and fun without taking the head. Continue like this !!!!
Anne, you could put a caster on the end of the gate to roll as you open n close the gate and will take the weight off the hinges
That would be great but unfortunately the drop from the grade of the hill doesn’t allow it. Strong hinges will hold it ;)
You my dear, are a BADASS!! I have went down a worm hole with your videos..No sleep for me tonight 😂 Your farm is beautiful!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Hope you enjoy the videos!!
You are soooo good at making hard work look like fun! 👍 The gate project is a great improvement!
Nice gate anne.
Thank you!
Awesome thank you.
That gate looks really nice, great job. Love watching all of your videos, you do such a wonderful job with them.
If you're worried about people possibly removing the gate by getting to the nuts on the back side you could probably just weld the hinge piece to the gate once adjusted and in it's final position. Just a thought.....
I like how you explain things 👌
Great Job Anne, I bet your partner love's you !!!! xx Brian UK .
He is a good man and I love him too ;)
Love everything you do😊✌️🙏🏼👍
Looks great Annabelle, as usual:)
oh my gosh when you said you lived in Seattle I got excited lol, I live outside of seattle in Oly.
Oh mannnn! Sorry to break hearts here, but I actually moved to TN 😬
@@AnneofAllTrades no worries TN is a great place to move!
closing in on 100k subscribers, Anne! You've grown a lot. That is one beeeeefy fence.
Nice job looks a lot better. Along the long fence if you fix it up would be a nice spot to do some espalier fruit trees
tha cat always has to put his touch in! haha cool gate!!
Girl you got it going on!
A little tack weld on the nut will make it really hard to remove it from the bolt.
Carriage bolts and nuts aren’t too pricey to replace when you need to cut it off to take the gate off.
Still not Ft Knox, but you also aren’t securing gold bars either.
Russell Zollinger oh great idea! Thanks!
It looks good Anne. Thanks for the video's i appreciate them
Hey now, no jokes about Seattle weather. It's funny how people from other states think it rains all the time and then, if they visit ... Oh the countryside is so green." Yeah, thanks to the rain, how is your fried yard in the Midwest? Nice work on the gate. I grew up there but left in 79. Not impressed by what's happened since but it's nice to see a little urban hobby farm.
Make sure you put gravel at the bottom of post .. before you pour concrete... it will allow for water drainage 👍😊
Good info. It would have been really helpful to hear about some of the measurements and other decisions. Also would have been neat to see more detail on mounting the gate with one hinge pin pointing down.
Nah, everyone needs to make measurement decisions based on their own needs. This project had arbitrary measurements based on the materials we had available. Aside from the concrete, everything we used was recycled, so what was helpful for me wouldn’t be helpful for the next person.
Would love to see some more blacksmithing videos, it seems every where I look there are construction and gardening vids but short of dedicated blacksmith channels, none are coming out.
I put out a smithing video two weeks ago. I’ve just finished my blacksmithing shop, and more are coming, but patience is a virtue, I’ve kind of got a lot going on around here ;)
@@AnneofAllTrades No I didnt, it never popped up in my feed. I will be headed there now though, thanks
Looks great! The AG supply store gate doesn't look that bad. Looks true "farmy" since most farmers wouldn't commit time or effort to a custom fabrication anyway.
My .02¢ - when you fabricate your new metal gate, consider also making (or just buying) some timber gusset plates for the hinged-end posts and crossbraces. Even with Timberloks the joints can open because of how much weight is cantilevered out as the wood dries.
That’s a great point! Will do!!
Well done.....👍
New sub. , found you through Ashley H. Saw the video of the two of you turning willow bowls. Your smile ,happy personality & hard working attitude brought me here. You did an amazing job with this project,well done! Really enjoy your videos, thank you ✨
Thanks so much!
you have a new subscriber buen trabajo that's very nice
Lookin good👍👍
Love your videos!!!
That looks like a very strong gate! awsome video! Your videos are a pleasure to watch, especially the bloopers at the end hahaha
Very nice job. If I could make one suggestion before bolting a post to your home predrill the holes and fill with caulking or mastic. Much less likely to get water intrusion/ dry rot.
They are treated posts, so I think that’s less of an issue here but that is a great idea.
1:45 - nice balet figures with accu screwdriver. :)
Great Job Anne :) love watching your videos ! !Keep up the good work :)
In Europe is 30 celsius now .. :)
You're pretty awesome
Boy those hands of yours should be classified dangerous weapons. :) Your place is looking good, thank you for sharing.
I would love to see a full blooper video of some of your errors and mis-wordings It would be so funny i'm sure UK Steve
I've been working on compiling a master blooper reel for a full video of face palms someday soon :)
You might want to use some high tensile wire using a stretcher to do what that diagonal brace will never actually be able to do. Look up "H Bracing" for a more complete explanation. If you don't, that fence post will sag giving in to the weight of the steel gate.
Did you watch the whole video? Because the gate is literally attached to an H brace…
@@AnneofAllTrades Yah and because you mentioned it, I watched it again. but that's an H brace in name only. If you were welding steel pipe you'd be golden but that diagonal that is screwed in place just won't cut it - - over time.
The welded wire mesh you stapled to everything will offer some support, but only from one side, so I'm guessing the diagonal will begin to fail from the outside first. Give it a year or two.
You could improve it while staying with just the wood diagonal, by drilling a hole through the post and diagonal allowing you to install some steel all thread nuts and washers at both ends.
Here is the thing. That wood diagonal needs to be applying a lot of tension to the two posts on either side pulling them together. The H member should be under serious compression. That's how H braced fence posts work. Your diagonal can't apply that compressive force.
Here's a video from the NC Ag Extension that explains it all really well

Another way to save it might be to put a wheel on the far end of the gate itself. A wheel would take the load of the hinges and post. There are wheels sold for exactly that and you do have a heavy gate there. If the surface is uneven get one with a spring.
I'm still considering getting one of them animal trades T-shirts you sell.
I’d love it if you did!
Fun stuff. Looks like you have English weather over there
Had a great time watching!! Your awesome !! love your channel. M. K. S.
And 'you're' not awesome.
And you are a douche. Glad we could get that established.
The outtakes at the end were great. Makes me laugh to see silly mistakes are made by everyone. :)
If you want to prolong the live of your post, don't use concrete but use stabilize. 1 part cement and 7 part of sand. If you use stabilize the water that runs of the post can seep better in the ground and keep the post bottom dry.
nice job Anne:) as usual!\!
I would so love to be your neighbor....or maybe even just come move in...I would totally be your slave helper...it would be super fun to help with all the cool projects u come up with. I'm just so amazed how clever your work is.
Great video. You are pretty amazing. Give your puppy a hug for me. :-)
I swear i didnt have a drink..yet read that as how to hang a goat..need more sleep lol
Hahaha last week it was “how to fix your soul,” this week it’s “hanging a goat!” I think we all need more sleep haha
Wouldnt staggering or offsetting hinges cause the gate to open or close when you let go? I also saw in colonial Williamsburg VA a second pole on one side with attached weight to pull gate closed.
Yep it does, to some degree ;)
Rigby!!
Any debate of pressure treated wood vs something like old growth redwood?
Cost, availability, and sustainability.
You're making your home look more and more amazing all the time! Great addition and I'm sure you'll love all the new trees when they mature. Great video as always and it's always fun to see the bloopers at the end. Helps remind us that we're all human. lol What was the attachment on the drill you were using in the concrete? Keep up your superb work!
I thought diagonals from the gate post to the tie post only work in that orentation when under tension.
The fence panels are so rigid it basically acts like a turnbuckle and high tensile wire
My second third hand? That would make it 4 hands. =D
what do where different countries are have to do with hanging a gate lol nice blooper reel great job though I am a huge dog lover btw as well as an aspiring small scale wood worker small scale as I am a wheelchair user
How high can Rigby jump? That opening at the top of the gate looks very exciting........Yard is looking super awesome Anne,
He can’t even jump onto the couch to snuggle, he has to be lifted on, so I think we are safe with the gate haha
Great video! What is the long thing on your drill you put into the concrete for the posts?
Concrete vibrator..used to see bosch machine..i don't know if that's dewalt brand..
What is the power tool you are using? I'm assuming this is for removing air bubbles
