[@MrDbone75]

Good evening everyone from wellington Somerset in the UK

[@markhall3323]

Really nice

[@michaelb893]

How much did this gate cost? It is beautiful! Much better than the aluminum junk that is made today!

[@MSI2k]

The labour alone on those would be about 10-15k plus the material cost of about 5k and then installation and delivery would be another 2k. Looking at about $20k-$25k

[@mattmax11]

@@MSI2k You are way off. That's 2-3k there.

[@Engineer9736]

I say it's 99999999999999999999999k

[@steakwilliams4448]

MSI2k 20-25k? That sounds very high

[@josephswift9132]

I think they said it was going g to take 3 months in the earlier videos so 20 to 25k isn't crazy thats alot of man hours

[@ajtee721]

Do It Yourself with 6-8 people

[@Alex-by6hn]

Wonder what the cost of those would be? I'd say its about like making a gate out of a corvette.

[@augustreil]

Hahaha, Yup !!

[@MariuszChr]

I like this design, but I would put planks in the middle (iron only as a frame and decoration on top), painted dark brown. Just to limit sight, have more privacy, and look like gate to the property, not like jail 👌

[@tubeonline629]

Some people actually want you to see what's behind their gates. It's a mind game, you want what you can't have. But I'm like you I'd rather have more privacy.

[@justinwoods240]

I pressed on this video to watch but by the time I was done checking my sugar and doing my insulin the video was over lol

[@YoungPineTree]

How much does a job like that cost? 10k?

[@honthirty_]

2 months of design, fabrication, shop time, fuel and finish.

[@MotherAmerica-ci1uu]

Let’s see the weld ?

[@GrahamDIY]

But.....that video didn’t show how to install metal gates. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@leciabella9461]

I thought they were going to show how it secured 🤔

[@not2intoutube]

I wish they would quit calling these "How To..." videos.

It's easy when you have seven people helping. Nice gate good idea with the rivets. Powder coat would struggle getting in there though.
