Wide timber garden gate

Posted by Danny Campbell, on
I am constructing a single swing garden gate that needs to be 11ft 3inches wide and 6ft high, because of constrictions I am not able to use a double gate. Looking from the inside the gate will be hinged on the right hand side. Could somebody please advise on the best framework construction and any bracing required. A diagram would be appreciated. Many thanks Danny

Hi Danny the size of gate you are trying to construct would not be practical, not only would you have problems stopping it from dropping but the task of picking it up and attempting to hang it would need a crane! Could you possible have a gate that slides to the side and I would recommend using a metal gate for longevity and rigidity. Ed
