Consider angle iron tabs on your gate post to attach wood rails instead of drilling your gate post.
You might consider a cable/turnbuckle from the top of the steel post to the bottom of the wood post to transfer some weight after your fence is done. Also you certainly need a stop post so you don't rip the hinges off the post when the gate open to far. Maybe it's coming in the next video.
It's been discussed quite a bit in the comments, I've already been prepared for a cable if need be.
I'll wait for the next video to see what you decide.@@TKCL
So far so good
Not surprised at all. You did an outstanding job building that fence and gate. It is beautiful and will no doubt last for years. Good job Andrew.
Thank you
That gate turned out awesome. Great job Andrew!
Thank you
Badass gate sir!!
Thank you
Permit me to offer a suggestion. First, the gate looks beautiful. Love the look and the monogram. Most excellent. A small suggestion .... Since you didn't use any bracing in the gate itself (I understand the desire for the aesthetic..), you might consider adding some small triangular gussets in the four corners of the gate. This is especially important on the heavier hinge side. If your swing post is solid, and it certainly looks like it is, then any "sagging" or "settling" is in the gate itself. Two long diagonal braces from each end toward the center would be best. You don't need to compromise the look of the monogram area. Just stop the braces at the vertical closest to the monogram. If you don't want to bother, then four triangular gussets, one in each corner of the gate, welded solid to the top and bottom rails as well as the verticals. Light weight steel plate would work fine. I would probably use 1/4" or 3/16" and make them about a foot each way. One last thing. Having the gate post adjustable is a good idea. However, that gate WILL sag under it's own weight. If you start adjusting the gate post to compensate, then all you will have is a leaning gate post and the gate will continue to sag. I don't believe there is any way to prevent that large of a gate from sagging without bracing.
You DO have a beautiful gate though.!! Nicely done.!!
Funny you mention this, I had a serious conversation with my wife in the shop about gussets. She asked what's that? 🤣 So it's already been considered and we looked at what it does to the clean lines of the gate. We decided to add them only after we see any issues. After hanging for a few days no issues are seen, we will keep monitoring.
Since the gate is in the closed position the vast majority of the time, I wonder whether it would be helpful to put in a small platform at the far end for it to rest on when it's closed. There would likely need to be some sort of slightly angled "ramp" section leading up to the level resting spot for it to ride up in case it does develop a very slight sag over the years, and that would need to have some sort of frictionless surfacing (or at least minimal friction surfacing or even a rolling bearing) to avoid putting too much strain on the gate opening mechanism, but perhaps that could prevent that sagging you're saying is inevitable with such a wide gate. Just a thought...
Sharing the monogram misunderstanding take cohones. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I think he was right though with his gut instinct that the name should Sat towards the top of the K and not the bottom
You couldn't have hired this done any better. It looks beautiful!
Thank you
Wow the gate is beautiful. You always give it your all in every build you do. so skilled in all area❤
Thank you so much 🤗
looks real good 👍
Thanks 👍
Man that gate looks beautiful! Would’ve cost a small fortune to hire out that build. Nice job, Andrew.
You got that right! Especially with the fence cost as well. I can easily justify a welder and some basic tools when you look at the labor savings per job.
Wow! It all looks beautiful! You did a fantastic job.
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks awesome very nice
Thank you
It looks amazing
Thank you so much
Woww! I like your gate 👍
Thank you
Looks amazing
Thanks
EXCELLENT idea about different thicknesses of the cross pieces as you go to the top
Gate looks absolutely incredible, happy year
Thank you, Happy New Year!
The Kelley sign story was hilarious 😂
I got a little overconfident in my ability to process simple information 😬🤣
This fellow has some serious skills and the right tools. That’s how ya’ build a gate.
Thank you for watching
Thanks buddy. I think I'm gonna build the same gate. Really looks good!
Thank you
Awesome job
Thank you
Beautiful work! I'd add another post to the fence side of your hinge post then angle down to it. Your hinge post needs more support. The first good rain and your gate will start to sag over time. I tend to over build though.
I'm considering a cable and turnbuckle. So far no shifting.
Looks great. Wish I had paid attention in school and had learned as an adult much more than I know now but working on it. Want to learn to weld hood.
It's never too late to learn, I taught myself to weld later in life thanks to CZcams. Don't be afraid of failure.
Good job showing humility on youtube it shows your upbringing and confidence.
We all make mistakes...
Gate looks great! Love that you shared the story on the sign. Keeps you real. I will say that those hinges look like 5 inches, maybe 7"? I don't know the weight on the gate, but even the 7" hinges might be undersized for that gate. Maybe a couple more. Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!
These were rated for 900lbs, but I know there is a lot of leverage. I will pay attention to them and add a 3rd if needed. I want to avoid adding anymore as it adds a potential for binding.
Beautiful gate. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Sir you have really done a good job. That gate looks amazing and you should feel immensely proud of yourself.
So nice of you, I am very happy with it.
Don't you just love it when a plan comes together and you can sit back and say "I/WE DID GOOD"! Beautiful gate - I really like the monogram👍💜💜💜 HAPPY 2024🎉
Thank you, happy new year.
helpful hint, when marking template mark which way is North so since bolts in concrete may not be exactly square.
Agreed, that's why I went back and set the post on it and marked it.
Good Job man. Finally a Homesteader that didn't just watch a couple of videos and stay at a Holiday Inn Express and say "I am an expert now!" Rather refreshing actually 👍 Oh, and that dog of yours, I seen the caption over his head when he looked into the square hole "Dang Dad! I thought I could dig a hole!"
Lol he's always curious about holes.
Nice built
Thanks
I think I would have installed a 3rd Hinge.
Smart design on the post leveling and adjustability.
The risk with additional hinges is binding, unless perfectly aligned. I wanted to avoid any additional friction the gate operator had to overcome. This gate has been in operation for a while now, zero issues.
Love gate
Thank you
Andrew have you considered adding a roller wheel on the far end of the gate? It will help support the gate and reduce sag. They have big tire versions that work better in dirt or gravel etc.
No, that creates resistance and is not recommended by the gate operator manufacturer per the manual.
Andrew, I am always amazed at all of the different areas you are proficient in doing!!! And, always professionally done. Great job on the gate!!!
Thank you very much!
did a very good job on the gate. Ruger may sure the hole was done right. it is a good thing he can't talk or you could be in trouble. be bless. may ya'll have a bless 2024 and a safe. may JESUS be with ya'll. SAVANNAH TN.
Thank you, happy new year!
Hahaha😂 Love how u put yourself on blast, we all have those moments! Gate looks amazing!!! Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
very impressive
Thank you
Looks amazing!! Just add a tire at the other end of the gate to alleviate sag or stress on hunges
You can't, that add resistance to the gate operator and is not recommended. Would be fine for a manual gate.
Holy Cow Andrew! Now THAT'S a gate!! See everyone on the live shortly!!
😊 See you soon
The fence and gate looks beautiful! As always, you’ve outdone yourself!!
Thank you very much!
Nice!
Thanks!
Happy new year!
Happy new year!
I like the gate's look, clean and simple plus the design compliments the fence as well. I'm looking forward to see the end result once everything are done the way it's planned.
Thanks!
Excellent job Looking Good It seems that you are jack of all trades.Not afraid of trying anything. Have a Happy New Year.
That's right, got to at least try. Happy new year
Excellent work, as usual. Now, my wife wants me to build one!
Lol, get to work. Thanks!
I like your dog.
He's a sport
Love it! Very classy.
Happy 2024
Thank you
Love the dog watching in wonderment.
He's wondering why I'm allowed to dig and he can't 🤣
Totally awesome Andrew! Looks first class!
Thank you
Looks amazing! Would love to see a couple led lights in that top trim giving a little bit of illumination to the Kelley in the middle! That would look really sharp! Cant wait to see the next video!
That's been my plan, but I am going to try a couple of spotlights first.
Are you sure you're not a pro fabricator
Awesome job I love it!! You cracked me up with the flipping the K too funny!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really awesome gets Andrew. Well done. So when I’m ready for a gate your flying up north to do mine right 😆
Ummmm...... Negative 🤣
Great Gate! Excellent build! Waiting to see what's next!
More to come!
That turned out very nice the style and design of the gate with the monogram on it.
Thank you
That gate is awesome and beautiful!
Thank you
impressive
Thanks
Gate is looking great!
Thank you
Very, VERY nice!
Thank you very much!
That looks real nice Mr. Kelley
Thank you
Love your steel drill you used. That is an amazing gate. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching. I love that drill as well.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Impressive! And thanks for mentioning the end caps for the top railing. Noticed they weren't there when you showed the welded hinges and was going to ask😂
I don't want to put them in until I get several more coats of paint on the gate.
Gate build looks awesome
Thank you
Looks Amazing!!! Great job
Thanks
Beautiful gate, and fence.
Thank you
Ya, you are talented.
You can also put a wheel at the end of the gate to help with stability. Check it out, it will help with long-term improvement
That creates resistance and is not recommended by the gate operator manufacturer.
I thought about this as well and believe that gravity will eventually win with the sagging but would go as long as possible without a wheel...if you have to add a wheel eventually I'd put something down to create a smooth surface for the wheel to roll on like millings or something that will pack down
Not needed, if I see sag I'll add a cable to the 6x6 steel post and attract that to the bottom of a 6x6 fence post. I can then tighten the cable with a turnbuckle.
Awesome job Andrew.
Thanks!
Gorgeous gate Andrew. It is very eye pleasing, sharp-looking and amazing how you did the length of the gate. Great Job my man. 👍
Thank you
Great Video Andrew, it looks amazing
Thank you
Looks Great!!!
Thanks!
Amazing! It must be so peaceful to work your land and do projects that are important to you! I always think how much I would love to do some of the things you do, thank you for showing “the good life”. Happy New Year 🎆🎈🎊
Very blessed to be able to do this, I love my job and developing our property.
Happy New Year
Happy new year
Awesome job Andrew 👏
That gate looks really good 👍
Can't wait to see the next episode. Happy New Year to you and your family ❤
Happy new year! Thank you for watching
The gate looks awesome!!!! You did a great job on it.
Thank you
Once again, great design and build!! 🙂
Thank you
Yoo funny on the Kelly sign.... LOL
I think you’re off by at least 12 thousandths. Jason from fireball tools will be out to measure and check your work 😂😂
It looks great ! 🙌🏼
Lol this isn't precision manufacturing and tools. I do want some of his squares.
@@TKCL yeah if I ever win the lottery, I’m just gonna go there and spend a ton of money.
Matt fromDiesel Creek got one of those giant fireball vices.
Put some dark ebony stain on the wooden fence. Will protect it and it will look nice with the black gate. Maybe some solar lights on the fence tops too
We are staining it black after the wood dries for a few months.
I hope it never snows there. 3 ft of snow would give you a nice walk to the barn, to get the tractor. Been there. 2 smaller gates that open vertically helps in snow country.
No snow in Florida
Andrew, you are doing an amazing job on that gate. You can definitely see the perfection in your work. There is nothing wrong with wanting a precise project completed. I think it would have been cool to see your logo installed in the gate. Keep up the great content and I can't wait to see what's next.
Thank you for watching
Very very nice!!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful gate Andrew 👍
It sure helps when you have all of the tools to do a job right.
Yes it does!
Looks great, nice job.
Thank you
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Love the channel. 🤠 The gate turned out great.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice job on the fence and the gate. Should last years.
Thank you
POR15 paint/primer...never no rust. I put Rustoleum paint over for added protection and a cheaper touch up later as Por15 is $$$$$ but the best for never rusting!!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Great video series. Love the gate.
Thank you
Beautiful looking gate and installation, Andrew! Looks like you've done this for years, my friend!
Thank you sir
Impressive !!! 👀👀
Thanks! 😁
Looks great!! Always feels better doing quality work yourself
Thanks, I love trying new things.
Great job sir it looks great and so informative.
Glad you liked it!
That looks amazing Andrew!!
You have great foresight vision. (If that makes sense) Good episode. Already forgot about turning the K over!👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Great job !
Thank you
The K looks cool man! 👌
Thanks
Love it looks great … As always great job sir .
Thank you
We’ve all been there and it takes a bigger person to admit as well.
You can always get you a gate wheel to add to the bottom of the gate to assist when opening.
That creates resistance and is not recommended by the gate operator manufacturer.
Gotcha. Just an idea. Great video
