I had a friend ask me about gates for his house and thought I'd post the question here.
He wants a 5' gate.
I keep reading that anything over 4' should be a split gate. Is that just a general rule of thumb or is that a definite cut off point.
He was thinking of using 6" posts instead of 4 to add support. Good idea or waste of money?
He also that about using a 4x4 on the hinge side of the gate instead of a 2x4 to add support. Again, good idea or waste of money?
He is planning on using
How to build a garden gate gate as a guideline.. any better ideas out there?
