We’ll guide you through various steps involved with building a gate, especially a wooden gate. You’ll learn how to assemble the casing, how to add supporting to keep the gate square and how to join the front boards.

How to Build a Gate
Below are the simple steps on how to build a gate;
Step 1. Check your local council regulations
Before you start building your wooden gate, check with your local council to check whether they have any regulations. Bring down the width and stature measurements for your gate. You additionally need to consider the thickness of your side rails as this will influence the width of your gate. You will require work out the clearance distance separate at the base of the gate, with the goal that it opens and closes effectively.
Step 2. Make the ends of the timber square
Once in a while your timber pieces won’t be cut square at the closures. You can cut them square using a set square. Simply run a straight line around 10mm from the ends of each bit of timber, at that point use the circular saw to cut it.
Step 3. Measure and mark the two vertical side rails
Exchange the height measurements for your gate onto one of the side rails. Lay the opposite side rail alongside the principal so they’re flush and square. At that point use your set square to exchange the measurement and draw a line crosswise over the two rails.
Step 4. Cut the vertical side rails
Step 5. Measure and mark the horizontal posts.
Using the width measurement for your gate, measure and check them on the timber for your flat posts. Make sure to deduct the consolidated thickness of the two vertical side rails, when measuring and denoting your timber.
Step 6. Cut the horizontal posts
Again, make sure you are wearing your safety equipment. Use the circular saw to cut the three horizontal posts to size.
Step 7. Measure and mark for the plinth
Measure 200mm up from the base of both vertical posts. Check and use the set square to draw a line over the timber. At that point measure 70mm up from this line, which is the width of the flat rail, and draw a straight line over the timber.
Step 8. Measure and mark for the horizontal rails
Measure and check where the three flat rails will be secured to the vertical rails. Ensure the rails are uniformly divided, with one amidst the door. Stamp the width of the even rails on the vertical rail. Use the set square to exchange these measurements to the next vertical rail.
Step 9. Pre-drill holes for the horizontal rails
On the side of the vertical rails, pre-drill two holes where each horizontal rail will be attached.
Check that the gate is square by measuring the distance between the two diagonal sides of the gate. The distances should be the same.
Lay several of the thin palings between the gaps of the wider ones. Make sure they are square and use the nail gun to attach them. Repeat this until all of the thin palings are secure.
