DIY Side Yard Gate Remodel

I took this dilapidated gate and spruced it up with some modern touches. I ran into a few problems along the way but in the end it looks and works great! Enjoy!

The moment you see what kind of beast this gate is guarding...

[@aeromedical6750]

My gawd - that thing is terrifying!

[@eleddi597]

I was spectating a Rottweiler🤦🏻‍♂️

[@SlikMoney]

🤣🤣🤣👍🏼

[@familycool9976]

A little Chihuahua behind .....???

[@user-xt8bq4gd3w]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

“Ideally I would have gotten black screws, but they were not readily available”. Me looks at screws, looks at can of black spraypaint.... I see a solution.

[@whatif8408]

I held my breath while you were grinding off tabs from the latch, with your toes right next to the grinder!

[@aussiemummy2676]

Yes this was a very stupid maneuver. 😱

[@nelsonparra3797]

And grinding the top of the gate next to his face, with one hand, and no PPE. Sunglasses are NOT eye protection. At least he got a dust mask to cut the concrete. I love the work, but you need to protect yourself so you can keep making great videos.

[@yournamehere8212]

Steel toe boots go a long way, even at home basic ppe 🥾

[@GeorgeMinton-jb8ky]

The metal gate was beautiful and just needed some love. No need to cut it up.

[@willh7690]

Yup grinders are one of the most improperly used tools. Don't cut your toes off!

[@edwintorres3780]

They sell a quick strip disc for grinders at home depot. Makes quick work on removing paint from metal and leaves a smooth surface for painting

[@afternoonbears6989]

I feel like you had a very enjoyable time making this. I found it extremely theripudic to watch! Thanks for sharing your boss mode remodleing, it makes me feel inspired!

[@ileanamorales1384]

Love the way it came out. Very good way to reuse the original gate and turned it into a beautiful piece !

[@thelunaversse]

That gate looks amazing Ben!

[@ginamascetti8810]

OMG...this is ingenious! I never thought about using wood slats in an ordinary metal gate! Thank you so much for this video. I'm totally going to do this!

[@mafnet_]

The gate is amazing, almost as amazing as that cute puppy!

[@DENIEL381]

I WOULD HAVE PUT A LOCK ON IT FROM THE INSIDE FOR AT NIGHT SECURITY.

[@MauriS69]

Nicely done. Looks great, what a change. Very creative.

[@hannahsparacino5005]

" this space is going to be turned into a dog run" me:ooh must have a big doggie. End of video shows itty bitty pupper. Me: even better

[@marybethduke3263]

WOW! I thought you got a whole new gate....had no idea you used the same gate and upcycled it. What a difference! So glad I came across your channel....binge-watching it all now! You are very talented!

[@abedankiest6204]

Hey that was an awesome tutorial! Side gates can be expensive but a DIY project like this one will save you money for sure. Just have to have the right tools and investing in such can also save you time and agony! Thanks for sharing!

[@saranaturally994]

I need to binge all of your videos at least twice.

[@Em_Rey]

Great job man! Gate looks good!

[@stoichiometry147]

Came out amazing. Great work and patience!

[@jnoonan4]

Great project, and a well done how to process.

[@prestonthomas5399]

Planning to copy this technique. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir

[@mrwell2341]

Outstanding. It took lots of planning and hard work.

[@MultiFabulous14]

I’m renovating my families kitchen by myself at the age of 19. It’s fun to do that while watching your videos, I need all the motivation I can get haha

[@mrpanda2655]

MultiFabulous14 their kitchen boutta get messed up

[@MultiFabulous14]

Mr Panda I can definitely see your concern; I’m not sure that many nineteen year olds could pull off the task. However, I am an artist, so I am very familiar with paint. Besides, if I am unfamiliar with a task, I watch KZbin videos on how to accomplish it. With the combination of precise hands and research, my kitchen will turn out just fine :)

[@itsenzo2004]

hope it ends well!

[@MultiFabulous14]

Enzo Arraval my family and I are so happy with how it’s turning out! Thank you for your kindness and support!!! :)

[@daffydj]

@@MultiFabulous14 So... did ya finish it? Corona Curiosity...

[@juanargueta2409]

That’s an awesome gate!

[@tamm3757]

Good job...color matches your walls too...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@luv2lurn707]

I somehow stumbled o to your channel and I like how humble you are. After seeing how the screws looked, I would have pushed them into some cardboard and spray painted the heads black to match the gate.

[@jenniferbassett3001]

Did a great job on that gate Ben!

[@ConservativeVet84]

Late to this. Watching you work through the problems should be inspiring to others. Not many people can do that today.

[@vholland6785]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making!

[@pt9413]

Well done - looks like it was a labor of love and it paid off!

[@jeanniealford4234]

Wonderful job. Love your puppy. Sweet.

[@jpontiac4294]

Awsome looking frnce...great job. The puppy is just adorable 😍.....

[@blancabalderas8186]

Beautiful job done👍 and the puppy😍😍😍😍 I just love it😍

[@edgarv11]

Looks good, great job 👍🏽

[@lilianapena1701]

Te quedó excelente ese trabajo, quedé fascinada. El perrito super hermoso.

[@swirltvLive]

My friend you did Amazing. I am doing the same job. It would have been nice to have added the material links but you did enough work. Thank you very much.

[@halahlo7007]

Amazing Look nice and different

[@andream3088]

Damn! Just damn! Now if you could get those bricks to match that chocolate color on the gate, priceless! Flipping nice.

[@besamemucho5]

Very nice gate...specially that you started with an old gate....

[@random1309]

Wow.! Looks amazing

[@curtbrazeal5421]

Nice job, Maverick!.. it really was a great solution.. props to you!

[@bpee6893]

Awesome work & the dog is so adorable

[@Mitrasmit]

I know America doesn't really use brick and cement to build houses, but I'd have thought the concept of anchor bolts would have reached the continent by now... Or at least the notion that bolts can't directly screw into brick ;) Great looking fence though!

[@SamanthaCoolBeans]

English girl here... we learned how to fasten screws/bolts into brick/concrete at school. I couldn’t believe watching this video how this concept seemed so alien!

[@kmarch6630]

Anchor bolts are used here. I dont know why they weren't used in this situation.

[@DrugsAreBadUmmmKay]

C'mon, Mate. He also used self tapping screws to drill through his slats instead of pre-drilling and he used a reciprocating saw instead of the grinder to cut off the "frilly parts". He's obviously not the brightest we have here!!

[@codegreen5213]

Really nice job on the gate dude, and your Corgi is the best

[@barbiekat6352]

I think it would look a lot classier with the screw side facing the inside. 🤩 But you did a beautiful job and it’s an awesome idea to use tongue and groove boards! Great choice of stain color too…Thanks for the video and instructions!

[@ThereIsOnly1ArcNinja]

"Ancient" - The moment we folks from the old turf spit our tea in a burst of laughter.

[@christinae.burlison936]

Love it! Looks great!

[@SAMILA19]

Great job ... But The puppy it's so adorable !!

[@Skittlesskittles-om6hp]

That little doggie is soooooooo adorable cute precious and gorgeous......❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@alishawright3724]

Thanks for the video it was beneficial for me to add this to my side gate.

[@Alecroberts45]

Looks great man!

[@winddealer1]

More Cowbell! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Beautiful job!! OneLove.

[@wooloongabba]

Nice work young man

[@freetobememe4358]

The gate is awesome.

[@SalvoDan]

I would put a kick board along the bottom on the inside. This will stop the dogs knocking the bottom slats off and also allow you to close the gate with your foot, if your hands are preoccupied.

[@thehanlyon]

The gate is good and looked nice

[@trueskatewithsam5275]

That looks very nice

[@dessertman1181]

Great job looks great

[@pao8997]

Beautiful Job thanks !!!

[@manuelgonzalez-wy2bn]

best thing of the gate is the security guard at the end of video ........good job buddy!!!!!

[@johnwayne8]

I keep on looking at this video, an inspiration!!! Keep it up Bro!

[@DevinHeaps]

I like the part where you kept your toes at the end.

[@40redfox40]

😂

[@PavanKumar-bx9pg]

Nice work , i love your dog

[@angel_nerd]

Nice work I hope you add lock outside for safely. I was aww at this cute puppy. c:

[@libramagyk]

the gate looks fantastic but oh my gosh your puppy is so cute

[@ABlueDahlia]

Well done!

[@surti72]

Yes it's looks pretty good

[@Hibiol-of-my-decay]

That puppy! Mi corazón!!! 😍😍😍

[@waynemcclellan]

Good job for a city slicker 😀

[@msfatts7162]

I like that great job

[@camelazo]

7:26 nice job bro!, 9:16 roach in the map, 15:38 checking the chipped board, 17:56 stylish

[@HombrePaloma]

Loved your work man! Recently a bought a house with my wife here in Chile (southamerica). The house isnt in a ver good chape cause it was a little left (sorry i dont know the exact word for abandonada in english). Anyways, im starting my own house proyect in order to modernize all the gates. I loved this style witj hoziontal wood and steal and im gonna watch your videos many times to get ideas. Hehe. So.. Great work!

[@ThePrincesselise06]

Looks really good thinking of doing something like this to my driveway fence I currently hate it but don’t want to spend thousands on something replacement

[@trisa9625]

Ben come to my house i need ur practical technique. Love how it came out.

[@jamesrauff]

Nice results! I’m thinking of doing something similar to an entire metal estate fence . What slates did you use? And what stain did you use ? Thanks

[@jlmfoy365]

Nice job Ben, but to fit the latch, a masonry bit, Rawlplugs and s/s woodscrews. Really easy. Regards Jim UK.

[@JUSTDREAMFREE]

Kick Rocks! I Love My Grandma! Switch Back!

[@carlover4239]

OH MY GOD THAT DOG IS SO CUTE

[@timetriad6199]

Gate looks good, but that brick wall… is HIDEOUS‼️👍🏻😎

[@silverstone9122]

Beautiful brother 🇨🇴

[@jesustrujillotileinstaller6133]

Good idea bro 😎 👍

[@saranaturally994]

Your work is to die for! What made you get into remodeling?

[@Resqueda01]

Great video bro! I have to do this soon to a huge gate 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@heidim6468]

Adorable gate but really adorable doggie.

[@shericemartinez9158]

Looks so good! Could you list the items you used?

[@naturalgalwilliams]

[@renatocosta744]

[@markphillips5747]

[@sequoyalee4443]

Amazing! Can you share what kind of screws you used?

[@gman8464]

Great job 👏 👍

[@KellyLynnCalton]

What kind of wood did you use? Love the stain color.

[@gregoryeastwood9068]

You’re pretty good.....not bad, not bad at all.

[@Airbender24B]

Those iron scroll decals really scream "GRANNY!!"

[@barbiekat6352]

“Granny” was who many inherit homes like this…Have some respect!

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Doggy gonna figure out that gate soon enough. 😉

[@justenb1560]

A black sharpie on black paint loving it

[@yy6358]
