DIY OUTDOOR DOG GATE TUTORIAL FOR LARGE OPENING

ABLISSFULNEST.COM

I loved this gate kit from National Hardware in black for a clean and modern gate look. It is functional and stylish, which was exactly what I was looking for to give me that push to be able to tackle this project.

SUPPLIES

– Gate Kit – 4×4 wood for posts – 2×3 wood for back supports – Fence planks – Post anchors – Mallet – Screws – Paint for fencing – Measuring tape – Drill – Circular saw – End caps – Wood putty filler – 110 grit sand paper

1

Measure out your total opening with a tape measure. Then lay your post anchors on the interior ends closest to the main opening for maximum support.

Once your post anchors are planned for placement, use a mallet and pound them into the ground.

2

Use your 4×4 wood posts and determine the height you would like them. We made ours 42? tall.

3

Cut your fence planks to the height you would like them.

4

Use wood filler and smooth out the screw holes.

5

Use a semi gloss paint and paint your fence.

6

Once everything is dry it is time to assemble it all!
