Re: Wooden driveway gate

Good Afternoon @Oreoprojects 

Nice looking gate :smile: I was wondering with each side of the gate are the two panels joined with a bar cross the width of two panels or do they have a hinge on them? so they open concertina style?

 

No doggos coud see through it but im sure they will find a way to "welcome" passerbys :smile:

Hi. Dave 

 Thanks for the comments. It does not open concertina style - i fixed them in the middle with a flat bar at the back. Reason for the 4 panels is to avoid the gate sagging.

Re: Wooden driveway gate

That looks great @Oreoprojects! Well done on a very neat, sturdy and functional looking gate.

 

Many thanks for sharing.
