Erecting A Garden Gate

A single-door gate is fairly straightforward, but with a double-door gate, there is a bit more to it. Installing either style correctly is very doable if you know basic carpentry, have someone willing to lend a hand, and access to the right tools. A few tips help, too. Take the time to do it right the first time. You’ll end up with an attractive, serviceable gate that lasts for years.

Even if you have no interest in this project now, it pays to know how to install a level gate on uneven ground.
