Fabing some gates for the house

Maverick26 · Jun 25, 2010

The one with the rounded top is for a side yard gate and the other will have a match for the other side and is a 14' driveway gate. It will be and auto opening. I thought they turned out nice so I posted some pics. I will post more as I finish the last one for the double gate.

Man that sure looks nice, how much did you spend on materials?

Thank you. I can buy steel at a business rate from Skagit Steel. I dont feel right to post prices on here since I am not a vendor.

They are all made out of .0625" wall tube. The pickets are 1x1 and the outer frame is 1.5x1.5. 1 guy can carry one section of the gate and I would guess around 100-120lbs maybe. I will be digging holes and installing them soon. I may be building more soon for my cousin in Yakima. Clark may have something to do with the next gate.
