How to Build a Wooden Gate with Horizontal Slats

[@stephaniespinelli1206]

I just started building last year...Im a 46 yr old woman who would rather build and paint/stain than sit behind a desk 🥱 It keeps me in shape and I love it.. Ur channel is teaching me a lot. Thank You!

[@firstnamelastname7476]

title should say 'how I' not 'how to'.. 'how to' suggests it will guide/instruct with detail.. some good tips and i do still appreciate it

[@lukesimonpfiallday3868]

Always buzzy when you come across a kiwi on KZbin. I live in Auckland, I’m 31 and I’m considering on learning carpentry. Never subscribed so quickly before lol

[@iComplainer]

1:53 this is the most satisfying moment in all of gate building for some reason. Followed by the moment the door is hung, swings and lines up perfectly. And that's followed by months years later when you close it after severe weather and it's still as solid as the day you built it or better. mmm

[@cathyridley3005]

Clearly you are someone who takes great pride in your work. You should be proud of yourself !😊

[@KaMcRaZy07]

Nice work bro. It’s nice to a nz builder doing Quality workmanship. Man Auckland is all about speed

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Thanks man

[@KaMcRaZy07]

Scott Brown Carpentry all good bro I’m a LBP also

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

That's cool man, there's still a lot of people in this city who want quality work done. Fun part is trying to find them 🙂

[@KaMcRaZy07]

Scott Brown Carpentry it’s hard to compete with cheap building price sometimes. Oh btw saw your van fit video. I think you will like my van fit out I will txt with on Monday a picture of my van.

[@PaulBC1981]

@@KaMcRaZy07 people don't value quality sadly,

[@briandippel8435]

IF I had $12,000,000. worth of tools and did that project it would look like crap. You have the magic touch.

[@timwoods3033]

This guy could have built Noah his arc. Precision craftsmanship 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Foss2506]

Looks great and good videography but really I was looking for “how to” rather than “watch me”. Would have been helpful to see which joints you used up close etc

[@mattchibi]

Mitered lap joints for the bracing inside the door... Nice!!!!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

😎👍

[@peterkiernan1668]

I foresee that you may adjust this gate and lock in a future video.nice method of construction.

[@CM-xr9oq]

Wow, you saw that one coming!

[@mitchellseibert9634]

Do you have a video on how to build this fence?

[@chencheng2506]

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzbin.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.

[@Nothing-g7e]

Nice work bud you can see you take pride in your work awesome

[@winstonbrown1516]

Where, oh where has this part of my character gone?! Superb job!

[@jlfoker182]

Nice video! Could you do One detailed about diagonal braces please?

[@CHRIS-ge4ou]

Didn’t see how the door frame was built. Gate looks great!

[@binershock]

Looks incredible. We’re copying you in the states for our own yard. The slats are pine but is that frame made of treated timber?

[@JFabric500]

Never seen a push button latch like that, where do I get it? Or what’s the description?

[@Backflipp3r98]

Joel Cotton I believe it’s the D&D technologies lokklatch. I installed that brand once and I think it’s the same. From Bunnings.

[@rixplace1374]

And here I am @5.30 AM let my Scottie out side an sit down boot up Scott Brown and he is finishing a spectacular horizontal fence doing an all wood gate,non sagging type.This may be a two year old show but I see his technique to prevent sagging. Make coffee stead of going back to an lectric blanket bed nice and warm and file this method

[@dumptydo]

Question - why did you use 2 cross braces instead of 1?

[@johncreaby3040]

You do some beautiful work chief

[@thomashom7514]

Kiwi workmanship. A-one!

[@rr3zart]

Hi, when building a horizontal westerns red cedar fence would you use stainless steel ring shank nails or stainless steel screws? Thanks!

[@2bhyman]

Ring shank nails unless you have a couple weeks 😂

[@jediael7484]

Have you got the video of doing that actual horizontal fence

[@postmortem590]

One question? What happen to the pine wood if expose to Rain? What do you use to coat it? From Malaysia. Just wondering

[@Motique81]

What is the stain used on the decking?

[@philipsawyers719]

Hi what's the name of the joint you used for the Cross dracers looks really technical but really clean an strong.

[@ungratefulbastard8166]

Are those 2x2 s on the frame , No wood size ?

[@TomLeg]

In this case the top of the free side presses down through the diagonal to the supported side. But does it really matter? not like there's any great weight involved.

[@Candisa]

It matters over time, supporting lasts a lot longer than hanging, don't underestimate gravity/weight over time.

[@eltoncarvalho9339]

Please send me the link of this lock and also the hingers I am doing a project an definitely I want to use them.

[@alitabattlechicken9732]

Nice work from a fellow carpenter in the USA 👍

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Chad B cheers bro 👍

[@MrHodgeon5th]

Beautiful deck.... question... who's design idea was this? Owner or yours?

[@learningcoach1]

Hello Scott do you have a video that shows you building the frame of the gate? i would really love to see how you did it the joinery and stuff.

[@michaelacreman8026]

Hey Scott ya reckon that gate design would be ok for a bigger gate say around 1300mm wide?

[@KyleMorpheus]

love the locking mechanism. very minimal

[@wtchen]

What LxWxH did you use for the post you bolted to the wall?

[@tyronefrancis2307]

Did you use 2x2 wood for the frame and 2x1 for the diagonals? If not,what size did you use? Thanks

[@bennisim7949]

Hi. What stain did you use for the deck?

[@michaelking42]

Nice one mate!

[@Intenslfled]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t the bracing on the gate alternate so that it stops the gate from moving in both directions?

[@predzrx7]

I got taught to brace the way scott has built it so that the weight of the outside of the gate transfers back to the hinge, helps the gate not to sag and drop on non hinge side

[@Intenslfled]

Ah ok, makes sense! Cheers for the response

[@nickwhite9252]

WELL DONE

[@Woke84]

Beautiful Job 💪🏾

[@MrTimjin]

Wondering why you chose to use screws to attach panels to the door frame, instead of the nail gun?

[@ethmasterrace4507]

Screws grab better and when pre-drilled properly with the right size bit it will never split the wood.

[@DiscoFang]

Beautiful gate framing, Scott!

[@dejenegizaw9534]

tycoon😮

[@thomaswright2614]

That's just too good

[@JamesStaaks8182]

Good to to see the braces put on the right way.

[@harrygirgin9093]

Hi Scott, what timber did you use for the gate? 70x45?

[@juancgallegos989]

Great work.

[@OKellyTube]

Great work...helped me with my door, thank you! What type of handle is that? Push-button? Super cool...I need to find out where I can get one :-)

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

No problem man, here's a video from the guys that make the handle . I bought it from Bunnings kzbin.info/www/bejne/hamvomxtZr5rq6s

[@unidengenius]

Far! Your work quality is top notch, bro! Awesome mahi.

[@emsant5]

What color stain did you use for the deck?

[@michaelw2108]

Very nice

[@nopt1118]

No glue on cross members? I’m thinking security! What to stop ‘thiefy’ from unscrewing them right off? Just trying to cover all bases...Stirling workmanship though...

[@Candisa]

Time

[@jake7499]

Excellent work! Hey, out of curiosity, how do new zealand builders feel about Mitre 10?

[@matthewcostello8577]

Is there a specific reason why you attach the henge to it’s own post rather the post at the end of the fence line? I have this delimma now and am not sure the best way forward. I have a post set for the latch and was thinking I’d attach to the hinge at the end of my fence line.

[@mcleaniechris]

Hey Matthew usually we hang gates and doors this way when there is a wall behind them. That way the gate only needs to open 90 degrees and will hit a door stop on the house side. Also opening this way means you get to look straight at the deck you walk into as you open it, rather than looking at a brick wall first as you open the door. Hope that helps.

[@DiscoFang]

Always try to hinge from the strongest, most rigid side. Hinging from a free-standing post is a recipe to have that post bend over time. Gravity always wins with timber.

[@312saxon]

Looks nice

[@maxmackinlay618]

Does it matter if you hinge it from the opposite post?

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

max mackinlay either side is fine, I would change the angle of the diagonal braces though. I have the braces coming down to the hinges

[@DiscoFang]

The only risk is the weight pulling the timber posts sideways over time. With timber, no matter the size of the post, it WILL happen. Securing to the house prevents that.

[@Godlike-87]

This is less of a “how to” and more of a “I did a”.

[@swill1020]

I was thinking the same however I couldn’t articulate my words to express how I see this video. I like people smarter than myself. Thanks

[@TruecrimeRealConvict]

Wym he shows every step

[@rolodarknet]

Only now that I have built a gate can I appreciate the finer in and outs of getting the job done. Best to watch mitre10 video or even the bunnings one. More instructive.

[@RedNeckBiker109]

what gate latch is that?

[@diymanable]

They were some very pretty mitre joints you did there mate lol . Nice job man

[@alpachino468]

I wish I had your skill and knowledge...

[@ormtl23]

Clean!

[@danmurphy6450]

What timber is that ?

Where you get the lock

[@xEXx187]

Ive been a cnc machinist since i was 16 and for some reason i want to get into carpentry so bad

[@luisvictoria8673]

What is the name of the wood bro ??

[@guly]

Those miters take skills and experience.. i can only dream of mastering that one day

[@mc8885]

I would of used a galv steel post for timber slat fence and galv steel gate frame. I would also use screen up kits between posts and have a centre brace screwed from the back so its a seamless finish at the front, you wouldnt see any screw heads at all.

[@baldylocks8683]

0:46 "Check out the dicking by the way". Slight chuckle to myself.

[@michals1108]

I have used hidden screws for decking looks even better!

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

michal s nice one, there are a lot of good options out there

[@donghwiroh9863]

Can I ask you where you’ve bought the lock from?

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Bunnings

[@oseiasbarbozafilho728]

hey man love the channel, keep up the great work, upload 2-3 times a week if you can, your videos are addicting !

[@dave8396]

Damn. Thats beautiful

[@benbenavente1032]

Absolutely Outstanding Sir! I really appreciate your tips and tricks. Also, it's hella cool that you show how things don't always turn out perfect, and how you adjust accordingly. Much Respect form Carpenters Local 46 Sacramento California.

[@ungratefulbastard8166]

A little slower would be nice ! Just the horizontal boards are clear but the rest .

[@themagpie_1]

little tip mate when drilling through a material, especially on exterior or bathroom installs is put some clear silicone around the hole, helps too stop water ingress..

[@Mobster9114]

Wow that fence is so flush and beautiful. Fantastic work!

[@jasonmcnamara2079]

well bugger me, someone else that pre-drills screw holes. And puts the diagonal bracing the right way.

[@tyt4521]

I love your work bro!! we use to build fences and gates back in the day...ahem looks nothing like this lol looks hella good bro!!

[@neighbornickllc]

What a fuckin' craftsman. Nice work bro. What's that push-button latch?

[@sixpotshot]

Thanks for the vid - nice gates/deck/fencing and thanks for the tip about the lock - better than anything I was aware of - I'll get a couple of them to try it on

[@imagesfromLA]

Saweeet!
