Thanks, man! Contractors wanted to charge me more than $700 for my side gate/fence, so I'm doing it myself. You covered everything I was concerned about.
I'm glad you found my video and saved a lot of money.
Wow, great job and explaining. That is our next diy at our home. Again, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing
Thank you! thanks for watching
Great video, i've been wracking my brain trying to solve this exact problem.Thanks!
You're welcome!
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing!
Lol... this reminds me of a time when I was helping my best friend with building a railing for his front entrance, and he was racking his brains around how to attach the staircase railing to the upper portion... and then I said "let's go look at the gate hardware!" and sure enough we found brackets that totally did the job, despite that they were not intended for stair railings lol
Sometimes we need to think outside of the box lol, as I mentioned on the video, it took me a while to figure it out, I don’t understand why the big stores don’t sell these simple and basic parts. I’m sure many people need them.
Thank you. I knew there was a way to do this. Thank you for saving me so much time. Not to mention digging out the pole to replace with the 4x4. Seriously THANK YOU!
Your video is very informative. Your workmanship is excellent. Well done my friend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you and thanks for watching 👍
Very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Exactly the video I need! Thanks bro!
Glad to help!
Great video and explanation.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing nicely done
Thanks for watching
Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome!
Great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
It Probably would have been helpful to list the items used in the description
Thank you had the same issues looking around. You saved me the time figuring it out myself
Glad I could help
Omg thank you I been trying to fix my gate
I’m glad it was helpful
Gracias! I was stumped!!
You're welcome
Thanks so much for the details on where to get those brackets on the cheap. I’ve spent way too much money for them at HD over the years.
You’re welcome, it is incredible the markup on those brackets, I’m glad my video was helpful.
@@NumberDZ For clarification..It looks like the top hinge post is facing down..and the bottom is facing up.I'm ordering via phone..Did you purposely face the top post of hinge down?.The reason I ask because it looks like that or that the straps have the posts on them...Our Home Depot didn't have the straps.
I purposely put the top hinge facing down and the button facing up, that way the gate is secured, otherwise if you put both facing up anyone can easily lift up the gate and take it down.
Thank you!
You’re welcome
I am having a hell of a time finding the hinge strap that fits the post side of the hinge. Every hinge strap I’m seeing has .61 or .71 hole diameter and the hinge is either 5/8 or 3/4 pin.
Did you check your local fence supply stores?
@@NumberDZ I have. Their hinge post is 5/8” but all the hinge straps I’ve seen have a hole diameter of .60 so they won’t work.
@@spurly48try filing the male end, making sure not to flatten it while doing so
@@LG-ne6or Agreed, I just took 1/128" off all around the pin, I used a #60 or 80 grit flap disk on my angle grinder and smoothed it with a flat file. The difference in diameter was 0.015". One could do it with just a flat file if needed.
Use eye protection and a good 3M dust mask if you use a power sander or grinder to avoid galvanized (zinc) dust. I just did a test fit for any tight spots and put some grease on it. I did mount my offset facing away from the fence allowing the stationary pin bracket to be rotated in more - this allows the flat bar to set flat on the rail (no stair step bump on the mounted side) and the gate can open more that way. The angle of the pole clamp with the pin (the chain link pin hinge for 2 3/8 posts) is set so the fence (or rails) align flat on the finished side. Once the angle is set, then your pickets can be placed or cut as needed between the gate and stationary fence. I would take the 5/8 male hinge pin with me when you buy the strap, as some strap hinges are 0.41 (less then half inch, and no where close to 5/8) vs the 0.61 I purchased at Tractor Supply. As noted, I think I paid 12 to 13 each for a 12" strap hinge, you can get a 9 or 10" a little cheaper - about a buck or so per inch if I recall correctly.
Nice!
Thanks!
Nice job. It's not the best hinge, but you're right, that's all you can get for metal to wood gate. You need to install self-tapping sheet metal screws into the bracket on the pole so it doesn't move over the years. It might be best if you through bolt the hinge bracket on the gate with carriage bolts. If the hinge stud falls out over the years you can install a 3/4" bolt with a locking nut.
Great video didnt have to cut strap they sell end straps left or right at a fence store. Had to order from hardware store first but got the strap. Fence stores carry all materials
I didn't know that they sell them, I didn't find any when I was working on the fence, the easiest solution was to cut them.
Yes but what did you do for your locking latch?
Thanks for the tip on the clamps $2.50 @Lowes vs $14.75 Home Depot
Do you happen to have rth part numbers for the pieces?
What is the numbers on hinge strap and pin? I have been unable to locate these Items. Thanks.
Where can i buy the hardware is there a link? For hinge strap and other part?
thank you so much, bro!....i have a wire gate i need to cover with wood to create privacy. I hope I dont need permit for that. i was worried about connections although had those brackets. as you showed, they dont match. why? because they dont want you to be able to avoid those expensive contractors.
Yes your right on the post clamps home depot lowes charging 14$ i called local fence company that has them for 5$, how thick should posts be? they are usually 2-3/8" though what gauge 16-20 or 40?
Did you use lag screws or lag bolts to fasten the hinge straps to the wood frame?
Genius 😊
👌
What wall thickness is your metal pipe posts?
Great, thanks for sharing 🙏👍 Why did you have to use those different brackets on that one pole at the end of the video? 🤔
Those brakes make your life easier while putting together the fence, you should use them if you are planing on building a fence.
Thanks for watching.
Quick question what bracket did you use in the corner?
Where did you find the hardware been to 2 stores already and the pin is to big on theirs
How do you join the corners of the fence with the steel posts?
How did you attach the galvanized post into the ground? Very beautiful work and thank you
I installed the posts before pouring the concrete. Thanks for watching.
Man I’m having such a hard time finding these. Every store just sells the stupid regular strap ties. I guess steel tube to wood fence gate is not common at all
Edit: found hinge straps at ACE hardware for 3/4, 5/8 and 1/2 inch. Gonna measure and see if it will work with the Home Depot male hinge strap
What’s the name of the supports at lows for 2.56
After looking at the gate fit I'd like to see the rest of your house.
My cat would be very upset because she'd have to climb the gate
to see what's happening in the hood instead of peeking thru all the
gaps like she's used to.
Too bad cats don't talk, otherwise I would have already received complaints from the cats in my neighborhood lol.
Nice! Thanks! Do you think this method can hold an rv access wood gate?
I think so, as long as you add additional support to the end of the gate, for example installing a wheel to help with the load.
Where did you purchase the right size hinge pin. I can't find them anywhere
I got it from my local fence supply store
👍👍👍
👌😎
What is the widest gate I can build with a single 3" x 3" galvanized post and using Brick Exterior of house to anchor the latch side?
Those posts are really strong, but I don't recommend to go wider than 48 inches, if you need to build a gate wider than that you should put a gate wheel to support the weight, if you do that you can build it as wide as you want, or consider a double gate.
I have a 9’ gate I want to build. Would the galvanized posts hold the weight? I want to Lee it one gate instead of a split double gate….but im worried it will be too heavy for the post
It will be too heavy, you need to put a wheel on the end of the gate to help with the load.
Does the gate open outward as well for this setup?
Not in my setup because I put the exterior wood very close to the hinge, but you can install it to open in any direction you want.
Si se puede
Si.
I have an old double gate that have those straps and hinges. I want to rebuild the two gates themselves and i like how your gate looks. I wish you had a video on that, but I don't see one. How did you connect the top and bottom (horizontal) rails to the side (vertical) rails? I do see one bracket on their inside corners, was there more connection points? Thank you.
I put two long screws on each 2x4 and a small bracket.
Send me a message on facebook and I can send you pictures so you have a better idea.
@@NumberDZ thank you.
How did you make the corners?
I bought the corner brackets at Lowes, this is the name of them “Simpson Strong-Tie 2-in 12-Gauge Zmax Steel Pipe Rail Tie Wood To Wood”
How did you put your post in concrete?
I put them before pouring the concrete on the walkway.
Add links to the parts to make it easier for others
The store where I got them doesn’t sell online, it is a small local store.
This is a great install, but my biggest concern is you can't lock your gate. How do you resolve that issue?
I have a latch on the front with a lock
What size is your metal pole?
2 3/8 in x 8’ ft
I ground down the male stub until mine fit.
Hey brother...I cannot find that Hinge straps that will fit a 5/8 bolt like you mentioned. Can you please get back to me with where you got yours. Even if I have to order from your Hardware store in your town, I will do it. Hope you get back to me!! Thank you!!
Send me a message on my Facebook fan page I will share the contact info.
I bought my strap hinges at Tractor Supply. Granted the hole size was 0.61 and a 5/8 hinge pin is a little larger at 0.625 or about 0.015 that you can grind off the hinge pin with an angle grinder (that's 1/62" off the diameter or half that around the whole pin). You can test for fit and I'd suggest a dust mask when sanding the galvanized pin. I found strap hinges in various sizes from 0.41 to the 0.610 from TSC (Tractor Supply). I believe they start at 9.99 for the 9" but I used the 12" on my gate.
Also in the pictures shown here I would flip the offset of the strap hinge so the full flat piece is against the wood and the offset is toward the inside, this allows the gate to open more than the position used in the video. Adjust the clamp on the pole to have the boards align flush and you can open the gate past 90 degrees. Nail or cut the pickets to align with the center of the pin. I standard gate latch for wooden fences will work fine, I just used a 1x6 5/8 picket to trim out where I mount the latch. While the latch provides a stop for closure and closed position fence alignment, I overlapped a stationary picket 3/4 to allow my door frame to have uniform contact the full height that closure. My thanks to the NumberDZ for sharing his design and concept, well done.
Do you know what the part attached to the post is called? I’ve found the hinge bracket and post hinge, but like you said, the post hinge is too big for the bracket. I’ve visited my hardware store and I can’t find the size that fits
You can find them by “chain link gate post hinge” visit your local store where they sell material for chain link fences, you can find all you need there.
I've looked all over for the bracket that is attached to the wood on the gate..no luck anywhere..Help
Visit your local fence store, use Google maps and look for “chain link supply” or “fence supplies”
Where did you find the bracket?I looked at Lowes and Home Depot in Edmond Ok....Can you kook at your receipt and post part number..?..I would appreciate it...
I found it at my local fence supply store, they don't have part numbers, they just know them by the name shown in the video "hinge strap". If you live in Oklahoma try (Acme Fence of OKC Inc) or (Binford Supply) those companies seem to sell material for fences, they should sell the part you need.
Where did you buy that hinge strap?
At my local fence supply store.
@@NumberDZ What is the name of the fence supply store. I've tried everyone in town and no one has the hinge strap or gate hinge that fits. Ordered them on line but like many others here, the 5/8 hinge strap does not fit the 5/8 pintle on the gate hinge.
@@donotadjustyourtv I noticed that even when I supposedly bought straps for a 5/8" pintle, the parts I received (National Hardware) are specced at 0.60", which is clearly not enough for a 5/8" pintle at 0.625"
@@pwyllpendefigyou could file the male end, making sure not to flatten it while doing so.
@@pwyllpendefig I had the same issue. I bought the standard 2 3/8 post clamps with the pin that were 5/8 (0.625) and bought the strap hinge at tractor supply. I put a 60 (or 80) grit flap wheel in my 4 1/2 inch grinder and removed 1/128 around the whole pin (the difference is 0.015" in diameter you have to remove). Some strap hinges are smaller, but I purchased the 0.061 diameter strap hinge at Tractor Supply. I could not find a fence company that had them. I test fitted the strap hinge before mounting while I ground down the pin in a vice. You can use a flat file to further smooth the roundness. I'd where a good 3M dust mask when grinding the galvanized pin as well as eye protection. I mounted the strap offset inward to allow the door to open past 90 degrees. Rotate the post pin clamp so the fence boards align flat on the front. HD sells an adjustable tension cable kit for around 14 bucks or you can build your own. Tension cables start at the top hinge side, while compression boards connect to the lower hinge side wrt the diagonal. I used a 2 3/8 post where the latch would be and allows for a 5/8 thickness (6" x 5/5 cedar picket) to dress out the closure side. You can screw a 2x3 on the front and back of the 2 3/8 post using Tek screws (2 3/4 self tapping screws directly into the pipe).
I prefer the flat mounting post clamps (roughly only 1/8 to 3/16 thickness) vs the Simpson straps that stick produce more space between the post and the rails. In the event you do went to self tap screws from the rails to the posts you can do that - which is what I did to secure the mounting place for the gate latch (2 3/8 post, plus the 1 1/2 rail screwed to the fence side, and another 1 1/2 actual (2" x 3" nominal) on the opposite side to sandwich in the front and the back of the metal post where the latch is and face the inside latch area off with the 5/8" x 6 inch cedar picket. I used 3" deck screws to secure the latch to the 2x3 rails. This is why I used the flat mount post to rail clamps and not the simpson clamps with the larger offset. The Tek screws I mention are sold at HD and Lowes, they have the break off winds that cut through the wood rail (albeit I predrill those anyway) and the self tapping metal cutting tip to drill the hole into the metal post and cut the threads. The end result is I have wrapped the post where the latch is with a 2x3" wood rail on front and back, and the 5/8 x 6" picket on the latch side. Hope that makes sense, I don't have a picture to attach.
@numberDZ Hello great information. I found large 14 inch hinge straps but the brackets are a little loose inside. Afraid to use these because it may make the fence sag. Did you have that problem with fit? How long are your hinge straps? Did they fit snug or did you have to force a little? I found some that was snug with a little force but was not sure that is what I needed. Please help us.
I did not have that problem, the hinge strap fits perfectly to the post bracket. If I recall correctly my hinge straps are 10 inches long.
its called black hinges it goes from wood to wood on the front of the gate not the back.
If you put them on the back you will get a cleaner look on the front.
