How To Install Large Driveway Gates!

[@robertreid7221]

Great job lads. Blake when you're using a jack hammer wear your ear protection, take it from a bloke who knows mate. ✌❤ Bob

[@klj6742]

This is a very useful video, thank you. I will ask my son’s dad I watch this and hopefully we will be successful in replacing our front gate together 😊

[@michaelknowles2212]

Congratulations to the D&J team on reaching 30k. It’s such a pleasure to watch you guys, you are all hard workers and you always leave the site tidy. I’m just doing a 25 square metre decking job at home and honestly I couldn’t have done it without the tips and information that you guys give out. Keep up the good work and I’m sure that your 30k will continue to grow.

[@iainstirling1475]

Nice to see a proper finished gate post.

[@jonc7723]

Thanks for doing this video gents. Finished putting my large driveway gates up yesterday. Out of all the KZbin videos this was the best... it also saved me £1k on what had been quoted. 😀

[@richn643]

Good jobs guys I like the attention to detail getting everything square and lined up properly 👍

[@DJProjectss]

Pride in the work buddy!!

[@brownwarrior6867]

Good solid gates them ,quality finish as always guys. I do think a graduated drop using a step down stone or two on the left side would tie that in lovely 👍🏼

[@aquissuk]

Watching newer videos, you can see how much more confidence you now have on camera. This clearly predates the "shrubberies" era. 😂😂

[@marthaosburn-henry1087]

Very lovely. Nice blend of the old and new. 🌻👍🌻

It’s really great seen Steve confidence improving with each new video.

Fantastic work boys !!!. There's a great working spirit going on at D&J

[@guckfoogle1096]

That front yard needs a hell of a lot more than some new gates!

Great video and thanks for sharing! Stay Safe Guys!

Tunes are amazing, this is so on topic for me.

[@stevesimms6215]

Love your video’s. Great job . If extra security required ie stop gates being lifted off just turn over top pin hinge over. Load being on bottom hinge anyway. No doubt you already know this but May be useful for viewers . Keep up the good work.

That is Sweet, great work guys. Did you make the gates.

[@DJProjectss]

yes we did

[@JG-fg1ye]

Is it wise to put heavy concrete and heavy gates ontop of a single piece of pipe ???

[@Mitch0482]

They look amazing and would you ever consider installing something like this in the midlands?

[@phantomflyer6705]

Love those gates

[@maximonatividad9653]

Hi sir may i know where u bought ur hinges? Seems heavy duty and sturdy. I tried to look fm amazon and walmart but cannot find it. Hope u will reply soon. Tc God bless

[@stfu7203]

Great video mate. I recently found out my cat is blind so I'll need to build one of these ASAP. Would this be a job I could do with little woodwork experience?

[@riccotexture8379]

Whats the overall measurement from 6x6 to 6x6? Nice work ty

[@lordlucan3706]

How did you know the gates would fit exactly between the posts? Were they made to measure after the posts were installed?

[@ogeoffreys]

Great video and nice looking gates lads 👍 one thing that I did notice was the angle of the diagonal braces. Was taught that anything more than 45° and the brace is not supporting the gate properly and prone to dropping over time and use🤷‍♂️ you guys obviously know your stuff so was just curious as to whether there was other support built in to the gates that isn't visible on camera?

[@Graham94]

Show me a video of you doing a job like this? Then come say suttin

[@ogeoffreys]

@@Graham94 🤣 you're kidding me right? 🤣

hes right. anything more than 45° and the brace is not supporting the gate properly

[@davesazama7021]

Where did you get your gate hardware kit please? I need the exact same thing. I am in the USA

[@Excel510]

Hi Guys, noticed there were no bolt fixing through the hinges on your final show , only screws. can you explain?

[@paulwood7798]

Tidy job lads

[@t-rex4211]

Looks good although the braces are meant to be no less than 45° for max strength

[@paddyboy1403]

Really helpful

[@MrSmid888]

11:55 the top left hinge catches my eye, looks running down hill. Would bug my happiness. I’m not suggesting anything isn’t plum and level but the eye sees everything. They’ll drop over time when they dry out. Timber outdoors always needs adjusted. Bank the money and return later for more queens heads.

[@georgelippitt7362]

Ear protection is the key for future reference

[@aljames7345]

How long does the post concrete take to dry?

[@ArtSurroundsYouAll]

Lads, can I ask how do you stop the timber warping, especially with the weather we have in the North of England, is it the type of timber or is it the reinforced beams across the slats, I only ask as years ago a firm put in some gates for a mate of mine and within a few months the gates wasn't closing together, they had warped that they couldn't close without having to literally lift one of the gates up so the other side could close and the tops of the gates were warped, they did feel light so I am guessing they didn't use the right timber!..

[@davidwhite4195]

It’s hard to say without seeing the gates

[@rogerwalker5148]

Ive just made similar gate but didn't have any structure to fix gate post to on one side. I used 4" posts concreted to 80cm depth. Upon fitting gate the post moves approx 5mm to centre. Why is this? Can you help Thanks

[@PaulGreenVlog]

The lock looks great.... Do you sell them or could you let me know what the make / model is? Cheers

[@YipeeKiYayJB]

The brand is called GateMate, Amazon, Screwfix and Toolstation all do them or similar.

[@glennchatt3604]

Can you please let me know what kind of lock you used on this gate. Thank you

[@DJProjectss]

Will answer this in a video Glenn

[@dsotm58]

Good job they look great can be very difficult to get the gates to match in the middle, not a great fan of 'hooks and bands' for pair of gates as after a short time the paint waers off and the nice level top becomes uneven and the gates start to catch. regarding the higes i would of had the head of the bolt on the outside and set the hinge with the crank level with the edge of the gate, thats just how i would do it not a critique. 👍

[@thomasf4697]

Great video. One question/request. Could you place a link for the lock that was used on this gate? Thanks.

[@YipeeKiYayJB]

The make of the lock is called GateMate.

[@Deeelectricgates]

Do you guys not worry about not having postmix on the side of the post pushing on the wall?

[@fireblaster9961]

Jesus them gates where high of the ground 🔥🔫

[@chris-w4n9w]

Need clearance when they're open

[@leemclaughlin3927]

agree 100% all their gates are hovering massively off the ground ,could easily be dropped about 3" and still have clearance

[@brandonward7880]

Great Video!👌🏼

[@garethwylie2459]

What was the height of the posts? and how deep in the ground?

[@rockontommy6295]

What height were the posts ?

[@NakedCakes]

Looks good, but hinges should always be central for aesthetics and did you put the post mix in dry for the first hole and then watered? Always half fill the hole with water first. Looks decent though lads I’m sure the customer is happy which is the main thing.

[@ianspaintpot]

them gates would look better with 3 hinges i think nice gates very nice gates. if they are painted with wood treatment every year or 2 they look like they will last for years well done

[@pinza0079]

Call me sad but while I was watching an episode of Newark Newark I noticed the fencing at one of the film locations a terraced house somewhere in Newark and it looks like one of your jobs

Lovely

Must of missed this one but not too shabby

[@markhannan5167]

Gates look great but instead of post in the ground with end grain exposed i would have done it with concrete instead just a thought but great job

That looks like a lead service pipe that feeds water to the property. I can see what looks like the stopcock chamber in the footpath. Lol

How do you open the gate from the front ???

[@andtastic1]

concrete plastic pipe in the ground for the gate bolt instead of timber

[@vick.2018]

Why do you not use a string line with a string line level? 2x4’s could have a crown.

It’s a good idea, vick. But need not worry, we always get it right 👍🏻👍🏻

It is important to keep in mind that dry-pour concrete may not offer the same level of strength and durability as wet-mix concrete. Dry-pour concrete can also be more prone to cracking and shrinkage, which can lead to structural issues and the need for costly repairs over time. kzbin.infoQR1wxh4p2Yo?si=x9aKfuq8oV4YvmHI

Hinge is not central to cross brace on gate , otherwise nice gate

@@DJProjectss nowt wrong with gates but hinge too low

[@petrupatraucean7253]

Breaching height, why you are not using the drop bolts straight in concrete

[@davidwhite4195]

If we used a concrete pad we would have to wait until the concrete set and wouldn’t be able to use the drop bolt . This way we was able to Secure the gates the same day for the customer .

[@petrupatraucean7253]

@@davidwhite4195 true but you are using post mix that dries in minutes for the gates post, why not use to anchor the drop bolts straight on it Anyway your shop is big and quality is standard

[@davidwhite4195]

@@petrupatraucean7253 yes I see you point but when you drill into post mix it break up as it’s not got the same properties as the high strength concrete that was used in the video. Post fix is for posts and not for concreting areas . And as for the other comment that’s your opinion .

Just push the sleves that comes with in the wet concrete and let them set, easy

[@TheRealBiffoBear]

No offence but this vid purports to show how to install gates * But It Doesn't *. It shows a journey and a bit about the posts. Everything else is done out of sight, perhaps by magic. From before to, suddenly, after. No hint of how to make sure gates are at the right height or level or any of the stuff you might want to find out from a video with this title.

Horizontal is “LEVEL”. Upright is “PLUMB” when you install a post you adjust it to be PLUMB not LEVEL. Al. 👍

Sadly, battery saber or reciprocating saws now make everything useless. They make short work of everything, locks, hinges, on and on. Course nothing is ever perfectly secure but now ?
