    I really like how you show everything up close ,breaking it all where the average person or someone not to familiar with woodworking can really understand and get it done, great job thanks.

    Thank you for the video! My husband and I built and hung 2 gates for our deck over the weekend using these steps. It was super easy to follow!

    I literally rewatched a few times to take notes. I’m building a gate to keep out dogs, I’ve never built anything before but I’m tired of waiting for someone else to do it. Next I need to fix a door. Lol dogs kinda ate the bottom.

    Thanks, tired of our 4 dogs ripping up screendoors within a day or two of intalling or repairing. Added balusters to our breezeway between garage and kitchen and added this gate to match. Just what I needed and dogs can't destroy it👍.

    • @gobuildstuff
      @gobuildstuff  Před rokem +3

      The reason we made it low is for the kids coming up the stairs. They can reach over the gate and open the latch!

      That’s an easy fix. If you tap the video and click “cc”, it will turn them off. Hope that helps.

  • @submissions72

    Thank you so much for this! I have very similar setup as you. Followed this perfectly. Can you make a sliding rail gate for the same type of deck you have?

  • @unsaltedlife5998
    @unsaltedlife5998 Před 10 měsíci +1

    Even spacing is as easy as find the middle and space evenly as you work out from the middle. Always a different way to skin a mushroom

  • @seanrea8281
    @seanrea8281 Před rokem +2

    Only thing i'll say is that at the very least youll want to angle the cut on the top of those balisters.

    Great video! Quick question please. I went and measured my width on my deck stairs and the bottom measurement was a quarter inch shorter than the top. Top was 42.75”and bottom was 42.5”. How do I approach this? Thanks.

    • @bobaldrich1495
      @bobaldrich1495 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Make it to the smaller size the 42.5"
      Or just split the difference, we don't build stuff out of square, (unless on a boat or special reason, split difference or build smaller size... usually split difference 🥸

    How do you determine the size of drill you use for your pre-drill and counter sink?

    Would help to fasten each balister to the cross brace.

    • @spookerz35
      @spookerz35 Před rokem +3

      Yes, one screw in each probably would be a good idea. Plus I would consider (or ask customer if this is a job) if they would like a top rail on the gate that matches the rest of the fencing. Done very well.

  • @submissions72
    @submissions72 Před 2 měsíci

    What size countersink bit did you use?

  • @robertduncan2742
    @robertduncan2742 Před 4 měsíci

    A crazy question one could make the rails recessed for less thickness but extra work.

  • @joshstewart636
    @joshstewart636 Před rokem

    For a wide porch staircase, would you just build two gates and have them latch in the middle?

    • @dombs2343
      @dombs2343 Před 3 měsíci

      Yes or put a wheel on the bottom of latch side of gate.

    Does one need the diagonal cross board? Is there a purpose for it or can someone skip it?

  • @danmcdonagh8924
    @danmcdonagh8924 Před 10 měsíci

    Where are at. In Canada it is illegal to have a gate or a door at the top of stairs. The building code also says. The spacing between balasters are to be so that you can not pass a 4"ball between. That means that the spacing needs to be less than 4" . Not 4" between.😮

    • @VDJ4500
      @VDJ4500 Před měsícem +1

      ... that code makes no sense, wouldn't you want to prevent a accidental fall down the stairs by installing a door?😂

  • @AngryGinger1108
    @AngryGinger1108 Před 3 měsíci

    Idk i like it when my top and bottom rails line up.. the total shortness aswell as the short balusters are messing with my eyes, its not pleasant in my opinion.

  • @smile-jf3dn
