Get all the instructions you need to build a swing gate in your choice of wood. Fully illustrated. It tells you how to measure, cut, assemble, finish, and hang your gate using hinges. Wall, post, and door mount instructions included. Typical material costs for a gate are $40, even less in pine. View the Gallery of Gates at Gates2U.com for pictures of Mission Style gates, for more inspiration in building your own gate.This second edition has more than doubled in size, with more pictures, explanations for assembly, latching, and details for how to paint or stain a gate. This book was created by the carpenters at Gates2U, a Maryland manufacturer, shipping gates since 2003. Gates2U gates were featured in the August 2004 "Kid's Room" Washingtonian magazine. This style looks great treated with simple wipe-on polyurethane, painted, or stained.
