Building a gate

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We have a broad elevated deck off the back side of the house. It’s a beautiful deck, but there was no way to keep Mr. Darcy from taking the walkway around the side of the house, down the stairs, and out into the driveway. So ever since we moved in, we’ve just been blocking off the stairs with a piece of cattle panel. It was very annoying to have to move it out of the way whenever we used the steps.

So today Don decided his project would be to build a gate on the deck.

 He assembled all the tools and pieces…

…and started fitting things in place.

He began by building a frame to shorten the space. We didn’t need a six-foot gate there.

These brackets help keep the 4x4s in place.

Then he built the gate frame and attached it with hinges.

Progress so far.

He also installed the clasp, which will help hold the gate frame in place while he installs the rails.

He made the rails as a stand-alone unit that he simply inserted into the gate frame and fastened in place.

Ta-da! Finalized gate. We still have to paint it, of course, but now Mr. Darcy can go out on the deck whenever he likes.

And at last we can get rid of that infernal chunk of cattle panel blocking the steps and use it somewhere less annoying.
