A10.) This all depends on the size of gate and location for the installation of the gate kit. The height of the wood gate, width of the wood gate, and thickness of wood fence components used will all affect the weight of your wood gate. We prefer to use western red cedar fencing components as they have excellent weathering properties and are light weight and easy to work with. You may order a wood gate kit, 2×4 backrails, and only the amount of pickets you will need directly from our website. Treated lumber is also a popular choice for wood fences and gates, however weigh more per picket, rail, and post than the western red cedar counterparts. Your geographic region will also affect the depth and diameter of post holes used for a gate post, be it your hinge or latch post. Check your local building practices for proper depth to dig your post holes; normally the depth of a post hole will coincide and be based on your region’s frost depth. Dig post holes to a depth below your local frost
