Building a Modern Trailer Gate that doesn't sag

Wishing you good health and creating many beautiful works

Man the comments section is brutal. I love all of it. this is one of my favourite channels.

sorry outof curiosity wouldnt it work better to sag less if u had a diagonal board on the inside too. as most gates i know contain them and dont have any issues where as the ones that dont have constant problems

That is shiplap, not tongue and groove

looks great!

.

Gate post should be 6x6 not 4x4. Especially when its 10 ft long. That WILL SAG over time.

You get a lot of hate from the people here that you are doing things wrong. But you know what, at least you are doing it and your doing your best on these projects. Keep up the good work

Wouldn't the PVC fences be better and lighter?

you could paint the part withroofing tar to stop it from rotting

Brad nailing a fence together…🤔

Great video, the house is coming along very nicely. What are your plans when its fully complete?

Adding wheels on the inside will assist in the sag prevent

Did you even square to the house?

First time you leave gate open for more than 20 mins bet it wont close again. sorry

4x6 would've been a bit better for the double gate but props man nice build

Not sure what it’s like where you are, but I’m in regional Australia and housing is in massive demand. With a block the size of yours I would be tiring that into a secondary access and dividing off the back yard and building a second income property or even 2 units. With the land already mortgaged in the house, it makes the additional residences cheaper to own and can really ramp up your rental income yields, it/they should pay for themselves and even contribute to the primary mortgage. (Provided housing demand is as high as it is here)

Makes me laugh that nearly every comment is people looking for flaws just to comment about. Great job, it looks great 👍👌

I don't usually like to add critique to videos, but using 6x6 posts would have been a better choice. Also, you should have added more studs in your fence to attach the ship lap to. After time those boards are going to bow. And small gauge rim shank nails framing or screws would have been better. Those boards are going to fail over time because the wood will expand and the nail slip out. The kits you got work but overtime you will most likely need to cut a 1x6 and run it diagonal on to the gate.

I've build one fence in my life, made the epic mistake of buying prebuilt panels from home depot. Happy to watch from a distance.

👏🏼👍🏻

Ohhh man please install those handles the same height im bugging out!, but great video man

Just started the video, but hopefully this no sag gate is actually a no sag gate compared to his last no sag gate video that sagged immediately after he was done

lol yes indeed 40*2=80... nice job (on the math)

Definitely will sag (4x4 posts for a 10' gate) and the wood will rot (used regular 2x4s instead of pressure treated), just question of which will happen first. My bet is on the sag. This is a rush job that will not hold up at all over time

trailer gate?

Everyone always seems to forget one thing with setting posts. 1/3 the length is correct but your hole should be three times the width of your post. So a 4x4 should have a 12” diameter hole. Plus fences have small gaps for a reason. Wood expands and contracts. That wood is for interior use and even then (as a person who has used it inside) it still expands. That will bust your Brad nails in a heartbeat. I want a 30, 60, and 90 day follow-up.

I don't understand why people have the urge to comment bad stuff about everything he does, in EVERY single video🙄. The point of this channel is to be brave and try to do things by yourself even if you don't have the experience or you are not a professional.

How can someone put out a video of such shoddy work? Like, wouldn’t you want to hide that?

Next video, how to fix a no sag gate, that's sagging.

There is a 100% chance this will sag lol

The handles stuff it up cause they arent right

what i did was buy a 12 foot cattle fence gate from tractor supply. and attached wood planks to that so from the street it just looks like a regular fance. I put a custom wheel on the gate, also I used 6x6 posts with a few 3/8 rebar through them on each side of the gate. And then i found a nice latch on amazon and it allows the gate to open either way. 2 years later its still hanging amazing. Im going to eventually replace the fence planks with vinyl fence sections so it matches the rest of my fence and it will also be way lighter.

Are you worried about attaching the post to the house? Or do you you have pretty good luck with that?

I'm from New Zealand and the whole time I'm asking myself what's a trailer gate 😅..... It's just a gate lol

Another good one, thanks for sharing!

Awesome video.

I used Brad nails on my fence as a temporary hold thinking I would come back and put screws in them at some point. Had all kinds of issues with warping and the brad nails worked their way out. Also, how will that untreated pine work out in the elements? Doesn’t seem like it will last.

Not so much with 2 5 foot gates but with gates more than 6 or 8 feet consider adding a wheel. Very simple and the gate will never sag.

is it just me or is it already sagging? The uneven handles gave it away.

Maybe is a piece of conduit to keep the stationary side lower peg from obliging the hole in the ground.

😂😂😂 absolute rubbish!! Really poorly done, flimsy as fuck. As for the sagging, wait a month, those doors are far to close together for a start, will be binding very shortly 😂😂

The handles are uneven and it's bothering me 😐

you need a diagonal on the inside on both doors or it will sag 100%

Beautiful job

Are you actually trolling with this? how do you not install the harware level with eachother?

Feel like the latch and bottom lock should be on the other side no ? If your backing in you have get out walk through the house just to unlock the gate seems odd ?

Nice
