How Do You Install Wooden Fence Gate?
When you are installing a wooden fence, generally the last thing that you have to do is install the gate. While some tall wooden gates are built for preventing access to, or exit from, an enclosure, most are simply ways to get through a fence without leaving a gaping hole. Whether your wooden fence gate is lavishly decorated or just nailed together boards, installing it is done in pretty much the same fashion. Place the gate on the ground with the side that will swing inward facing up. Open the hinge and position the 8-inch leaf on one of the horizontal wood gate beams. Make sure the hinge itself is protruding away form the gate and is at least 1/8-inch off the end of the gate. If your gate does not have horizontal beams, use butterfly hinges instead and space them evenly down the edge of the gate. Drill small pilot holes in the gate through the screw holes on the hinge. Use your screwdriver to install the hinge with 1-inch screws. Do the same for the second hinge on the second horizon
