- In this video I work on a commission to build some large garden gates for a driveway using pressure treated / tanalised timber from a local timber merchant, plus some untreated shiplap from a sawmill. The gates span over 4m in width and are around 1.7m high. I used half lap joinery at the corners of the frames, and floating tenons / dominos elsewhere.

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package th-cam.com/users/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement th-cam.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Beautiful job. One tip. You can preserve wood using antifreeze, ethylene glycol. It's excellent for preventing mold and insect damage. It does require a topcoat to seal it in.
Hi Keith
Several years ago I made a pair of gates similar to these but I jointed it with mortise and tenons. In filled with shiplap boards, after about 18 months I noticed the joints coming apart, actually it was splitting and the panels buckling. The panels had swollen more than I’d thought and it was just pushing the uprights apart. I ended up taking the panels out, strengthening the joints and then over laying the gates with feather edge boards. Problem solved. Beware because those panels are so dry they might expand more than you think, fingers crossed they don’t. Great job 👍
Blimey these are a proper set of gates.Great job so far.Looking forward to part 2.
I love watching your process and hearing your thought process for problem-solving.
Great, simple but very informative video. Thanks for making and posting it
They look pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to the next part.
Nice looking set of gates. Look forward to seeing them installed.
Quick tips for anyone installing posts into ground from my experience - always use postsavers: they are attached by heating up the tar inside which protects the lower ground level parts from rotting. Post Crete is best choice for keeping it strong
Great. Look forward to seeing them installed 👍
Proper job. A small chamfer often aides in hiding small imperfections in the joinery or timber on outdoor projects.
This is one of those videos that you'd have no idea was so interesting until you watched. Good work sir!
Great job! Nice looking gates, and well explained. Thanks for sharing!
woow huge work! Looks already nice. Looking forward to seeing part 2
Great looking gates, mate. Looking forward to part 2. All the best.
Nice! I've made my gates last year, during first lockdown, I've also used some gravelboards, but as an infill on metal frame! Can't wait to see the final result on this one! Greetings from Mildenhall in Suffolk!
Loving the design on these heave duty gates!👌🏽
Looking forward to part two.
Awesome job, mate 👍🏽
Lots of people think building a gate is pretty simple, but as you’ve shown you better understand structure and how wood behaves or your gate will soon become scrap. Nice work.
Oh these will be scrap very soon!!
Very nice build, well made. I've quit using polyurethane glue for it's short open time and the cleaning I have do after. Construction adhesive is strong enough if not stronger than poly glue, great for outdoor use and with long open time of use.
Looks awesome. Great tip, making those notch holders for gate so you can work on it upside down. Well done. Cant wait to see the rest.
looking forward to seeing the next video , it will undoubtedly become a solid gate , grtzz from Belgium !
Great work Keith 👍built to last. Look forward to seeing them finished 🙂👍
This is beautiful work. Well done
Absolutely beautiful job
Great looking set of gates them Keith. Well done!
those are some really industrial gates! The hinges are going to have to be extra heavy duty! They'll last a lifetime! fantastic work.
Nice gates mate always amazes me how much mess half laps make with bits on floor. That was a right result with the treatment tub
You're a skilled man, great work!!! Gates are beauts
Dominos are such a time saver, one day I'll give in and buy the machine. I was close recently after cutting 24 mortise & tenon joints for a project.
Quality work. Great job!
Thank you for sharing your expertise
Great work! Can't wait for the next video!
Love the Design and wonderful video . So beautiful
Amazing. Great job!
Doin a great job Keith, should look great when finished Stay Safe Mate !!!.
Ryan is a great chippy. Love his work and will be copying it for 2 large gates this summer 👍
I built a gate sort of like this, but somewhat larger, about 25 years ago from Douglas fir. I put my frame together with steel truss plates on both sides, pounded in with a 16 pound sledge. I was very surprised at how rigid the frame was, including torsional twist, or lack thereof. It didn't sag a bit in the five years I lived there, but can't say how it held up over time.
They look Great
Your timing on this video is perfect for me, my next commission job is for a side entrance gate - I may nick the design and show them as the open top section looks great and a makes it look less 'woody'. Fantastic video too, thanks for sharing.
Cheers Alistair
Thank you for showing the drawing to understand how to angle the supporting diagonal
really nice design Keith, looks sharp
Looking forward for the second part
Those gates look super strong Keith. Great job and great video mate
I absolutely love the clear oil based treatments. Seem to protect the timber much longer than fence paint does. I use the brand Barrettine. Can’t fault the stuff. By the way those gates look great
Old engine oil for ever lasting, my father in law had a old 6 wheel long base transit that he yearly brushed engine oil to the arches seals under the body that would be prone to attack from the elements. He never had rust whatsoever. Its now owned by someone else and very sort after. Sorry for side tracking from wood but any old oil is the best treatment.
Keith, FYI, Sadolin Supadec is available in a several colours and is ideal for exterior joinery and especially suitable for rough sawn timber.
Excellent work!
Nice job Keith they look like good strong gates 👌
Brilliantly made, cheers from California.
Really great job
Lovely job 👏
Really good job there mate. I did a poundland version on a smaller scale a few years ago, and to echo the comments of others in here it was the posts that let me down in the end, though of course if that should ever happen to your project you can always detach the gates and redo the posts, so hardly fatal to the excellent gates you've built.
Great gates and great video too 👍
Great video love the gates
Superb!
Great work!!!! Very talented
Nice set of gates, should be good for a lot of years.
That is a beautiful gate. Excellent construction. Do yourself a favor and build about 4' of fence on each side of those gate posts to help support them. Again... beautiful gate.
Nice, nice work, well done!
I make quite a few large double gates and I would always do a horn about and inch and a half on each style both top and bottom and I would also do a traditional stub tennon for the rails
Looks good Keith
The door looks great 👏
Love your videos. Thank you
Only just catching up with this; great job on the gates Keith, and glad the squares came in handy - square enough is all I've ever aspired to... 😆👍
Cheers Peter, me too 🤣
Great looking gates. I think you have inspired me to build a small garden gate for my front garden.
Great 👌
Great work there 👍👏🙃😺
Good looking gates & nice work, but wow they do look heavy!
Beautiful work...love it! Craftsmanship is underrated in this fast paced modern world. The most dangerous thing in this world is not A.I. it is men that have little or no practical skills.
Those look massive.
Beautiful gate. I’m curious to see how you are going to set the posts. I know I would not want them touching any dirt in the ground so as to prevent any wood rot in years to come. Personally I would use steel posts for the strength and durability, but that’s just me.
Beautiful work bud
Large gates! This is gate installation heaven.
Nice work and so good to see someone getting the bracing correct!!. All I would say re treated timber from 40+ years experience treat every cut hole drill etc. Yes maybe time consuming but think of the timber, before any cuts or holes being in a bubble every time you brake that seal treat it and keeping doing it as it only needs one unprotected joint to allow the rot to get in and hope you also treated the shiplap all faces, as you did for the ends? before fixing. Sorry for long comment but hope it helps all and again good job.
Yeah I showed treating them in the video
Excellent!
Nice looking gates
Great work.👍🏼
GREAT VIDEO. VERY COOL. THANK YOU!
very nice work
Used to use router for half laps like that. And, to show my age, I used tenons and mortices and pegs. All without mask - silly me - leading to splitting headache if timber was resin heavy pine - might as well have just used straight glue to sniff!
nice work.......artist work...greetings from croatia
Great video
Great project and nicely presented!
There are two generic challenges for these kinds of projects: (1) Getting the right material and (2) having the proper tools ...
The important third (or first) is the skill to do it, nicely demonstrated here.
Ear projection when vanishing, love it
Cracking build, the gates are looking great so far, shame about the lack of pressure treated wood.
Looking forward to the next video. Heavy to transport and hang! How will they be painted? What primer? Thanks for the video!
Brilliant informative video
I lost it at the bum censor. Was not expecting that 😂 Ah, yes "Don't ask me how I know"... my personal favorite slang for "I've absolutely made this mistake before" LOL. Gate looks good so far!
Hi Keith. I like the depth stop cut achieved using the mitre saw. That's a great fool proof method using spacers to position the gate
middle rail. Oak shop made dominoes, brilliant. Those gates look really substantial and heavy to lift, rather you than me Keith lol. Tony
Now that's a solid gate
Look amazing. I have only ever built something 1/4 of the size.
Fineeeeeee joinery 👌
Good stuff bud 👍
Gates look good with you on the glue same with the expanding foam all ways end up with black hands 👍
It's a bit of a long journey, but I could use some gates like those!
when doing half laps I find using a oscillating multitool tool is the fastest way to clean up the half laps. Then going on with chisel afterwards finish up. It's a much faster process.
Hey Keith, just been asked to do some gates similar to yours by a neighbour. Your build looks spot on, just wondering if you would have changed anything after.
From years of experience gates that large need footings 1:1 deep. Otherwise they will start to pitch down in the centre. Especially in moist ground like in the uk.
That said the bottom halves should be treated with pitch otherwise they will rot regardless of time we type
Great work, Keith. Thanks for the tips about bracing. I wonder if you could expand on this in a future video for newbies like me? - Actually, forget that, just watched it again and think I get it now.👍🏼😬
Cheers Mandy 😀
very nice
I like your little van!
It's on it's last legs unfortunately
