[Seeing Spots]

If you want to build a gate the right way build it like this. 5 inch drill pipe ,may be over kill but i will never have to replace it. The hinges had a ball bearing in it but i removed them because it opened too easily. You can put grease in the hinges also but I never do because I wanted it to be a little stiff to open. It still swings easily but with grease and the bearing i could touch it with a finger to open. The frame is made out of tubing and the fence boards are screwed in by sheet metal screws. I didn't want a latch on the outside so I rigged this method to lock it. If im on the outside of the fence I can open it by reaching over and grabbing weed eater string that I have tied to the board that locks it.
