Designing Wooden Gates

Last Modified December 29, 2016 By Staff Writer

It is hard to go by wood crates without emotions. This is one of the most wanted, home decor material which you can build your own furniture with. From new and natural to vintage, rustic ones. Painted in any color, with or without logotypes. If you decided to use them in your new D.I.Y. project at home, you’ll find a big range of inspirations on the web.

Key Takeaways:

  • One of the most important things in a gate’s design is a cross-brace in the structure, starting from top corner opposite the hinges (free-swinging side of the gate), pointing downward to the lower hinged side of the gate.
  • The cross-brace is usually constructed of 2 x 4 material and acts as a compression load, keeping the gate square.
  • Depending on where you live, the number-one thing to check before installing the posts is your area’s typical depth of frost.
