This looks so easy & cool! I never made a countersink before but the way you showed me I’m doing it 😄you’re the best and thank you for your help

[@GagneFarms]

No problem! I countersink almost all the things I build, just makes for a good tight fit. I am glad I could help!

[@mamaicymouse]

Thank-you, just what I had in mind for my chicken yard, I've been using t-bar and plastic snow/garden fence and pulling back my door when I have to go in or out. Well after 2 years it's sagging, so time to do something a bit more sturdy. I had a similar idea in mind but needed a visual to show my husband so he can help build it. I will need to build narrower double gates (need to get my lawnmower through the yard) but it will work perfectly for me.

[@mackviewfarms]

I was looking for an idea of door and I found this videio thank you!

[@GagneFarms]

No problem Mack. Glad it helped you out!

[@ashleycline4144]

Looks great! Thanks so much for the idea!

[@GagneFarms]

No problem, glad I could help!

[@I.am.Mumma.Bear.1]

Nice build 😊 Good idea to let your poles settle for at least a week before hanging a gate on them or alternatively nail in a support across the top to give them support until they settle so the weight of the gate doesn’t pull it in👍🏽

[@GagneFarms]

Thank you! Very good tips indeed. Thanks for sharing.

[@denesestanley7011]

Thank you…. I will try it

[@byronbaybamboo8232]

So simple! Thanks for sharing

[@GagneFarms]

No problem Byron 👍

[@tallen316]

Just what I was looking for! Thank you !

[@GagneFarms]

No Problem, Glad I could Help!

[@djstef457]

Were gonna build a little chicken fence and gate today so our girls can run some more, this was just what we needed to get started.

[@GagneFarms]

That is great! Good luck to you on your build!

[@Mangrimmy]

Looks good, This is what I need to do. Thanks for the video.

Thank you very much berbrina!

Finally someone that ran the diagonal brace in the right direction. Bravo brutha great video!!

[@GagneFarms]

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

[@Shananana99]

Should it start from top to bottom on the opening side?

[@GagneFarms]

Yeah, that should work!

[@kaydell321]

Sir you deserve a million subscribers. Well done with this video

[@GagneFarms]

Thank you Kim. I appreciate it

[@hoosierchickencoops]

Looks good buddy. Followed

[@GagneFarms]

Thank you Carl! Glad to have ya.

[@TeleCS]

How deep are the post holes?

[@GagneFarms]

I would say about three feet

[@teresamexico309]

Nice video thank you! Some people burn the beam/pole so it will resist the ground's moisture better.

[@GagneFarms]

Thank you! I totally thought about doing that as well, for some reason I just opted not to this time. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[@teresamexico309]

[@MrMannyboy329]

Now that’s what I call a nice post whole digger, that’s got to be old. Was it a hand me down or did you buy it?

[@GagneFarms]

That was a hand me down from my grandfather! 😀👍

[@toona67]

What part of MI? We are north central lower. Thanks for sharing!!

[@GagneFarms]

That's awesome! We are near Midland

[@lesliekevinhuddleston2142]

It's windy at yours it's way winder here in Southern New Zealand it's windy enough to blow the colour out of a tin of paint.

[@GagneFarms]

Haha that is funny. I have never heard of that one before. I'm sure you would beat us on the windyness scale.

[@tonyadorris3452]

How did you get the pole to stand straight up just in the hole?

[@GagneFarms]

I packed dirt around it and used the end of the shovel to pack it tight. I hope this helps!

[@facingfacts7830]

how'd you measure that diagonal piece that stabilized the gate door?

[@GagneFarms]

I believe that I laid it on top and just traced from the back side with a pencil. I hope this helps.

[@jaromejacksan6934]

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

[@tanneraaron6536]

Are those posts 4x4 or are they 2x4 also? Building a dog fence.

[@GagneFarms]

The posts that are in the ground are a treated landscape timber. The gates themselves are 2×4. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@brandonhendricks1123]

Will the chickens fly over?

[@GagneFarms]

Nope. I have had this height fence for 2 solid years now and not had one chicken get in the garden. It is one of the best things I have done for my garden!

[@henrycoleman5669]

What degree did you cut the corners?

[@GagneFarms]

The corners are at 45°

[@lillithjones993]

How did you figure out how much wood to buy to make the cross section?

[@GagneFarms]

Are you talking about just the angled piece?

[@lillithjones993]

I want to follow what you’re doing, but I need to make a 6 foot door that’s 6 foot wide and I don’t know how long the bracing wood is supposed to be

[@lillithjones993]

@@GagneFarms Yes

[@lillithjones993]

@@GagneFarms I’m guessing in my “ inexperience” to buy 11 feet for the middle 🤷‍♀️

[@GagneFarms]

If it's 6' x 6' then you would need approximately 102"

[@Shananana99]

Thank you!

[@GagneFarms]

No problem, thank you!
