Hi Brad serves a dual purpose. Depending on what the soil conditions are. We decided it would be best to keep the gates from creating a cantilever effect for they are heavy. Our area has softer soil conditions. A little bit of over engineering with your concrete work will ensure your gate will remain stable and straight. Softer soil conditions some gates tend to settle. Planning your entire project out is key. Electrical, irrigation Etc. Your concrete pour and your posts elevation are the most critical part of your project. Good luck with your project, hope that helps. I'll try and answer any question you have

Our gate system was very similar and I wouldn't wish this design on my worst enemy. Accidents happen whether it be a random drunk or delivery driver. Once they tweak the hinged post you will quickly realize the financial flaw in this design. When designing a gate system you MUST consider post replacement. This layout would likely require 50% demo to replace a post.

But that is great work there. Pride in workmanship is evident.

Great deal. Just right size for us. Wish we had bought one sooner.

Good job 👍🏽 boss had few ? What where the size of the columns? And what was the size of the footings I plan to do my gate first and then my drive way because I know I can do a lot of the labor work my self as far as the gate and the fence goes just trying to save a couple of dollars.

The lamps on the pillars are very beautiful, but it may be more luxurious and high-end if they are installed in a larger size

What size center brick did you go with?

is it easier putting all the corner stone on first? my dad completes it course by course and i am just now getting into building these on my own so im doing some research

Gate looks great! I’m about to start a project similar. I’m curious, the trench you did through the driveway, is that only for the electric or is that for strength? Just curious as I hadn’t planned on doing that.

Great looking columns! Did you have to do anything to the cinder blocks before applying the stone to them? I see a lot of people wrapping their posts with Durarock but it seems the block would have the same property as the durarock and stick well. Did you use just regular mortar? This is my first time so thanks to anyone who can answer!

Hi dave nice job what size and length uprights did you use to support the gates and how much space between them and the lovely stone work 😉

Our ompany builds custom designed gates....If you need a gate supplier let me know. You can google us ....J.C's Gates and Fab in Gaylesville AL. I really like the way you did the gate psot and columns. Those should last at least a couple generations. Great job!

Very Nice Gate - Does it have an automatic opener and if so which one did you go with? Thank you!

Very, very nice work.....

Fantastic job! We are currently building our home & will be adding fencing & a gate also. You made it quite easy to incorporate what you did in our plans. Question: what is the dimensions of the gate, and, what model is it. Thanks.

Great job. What width is gate? Can these gates be found at tractor Supply?

Hi, do you do work in Connecticut?

David, appreciate the video but wish you had done a voice over instead of numbing soundtrack. Looks like a great project, however. Nice workmanship. Any issues now that some time has passed or is there anything you wish you had done differently? Did the gate manufacturer provide any drawings for this installation?

Great work! Where did you purchase the stone veneer wrap and what about the pillar caps? Thanks for sharing the video

Nice work ! What wall thickness did you go for the square tubing ? I’m doing a similar gate but total width is 12ft 6 . I used .083 wall thickness is this ok or should I have went with thicker material ?

Nice gate. Be a shame if you could just drive around it.

where did you get the black square metal for these gates? or did you make it yourself

Hi, was wondering what size besser blocks did you use please. Cheers

Have you had any issues with people coming in or going out with larger vehicles (RV's) or utility trucks with the 16' opening?

It's the posts for me❤️❤️❤️❤️

👍

Cool, now you can drive around it.

Awesome work. What is the rock covering called?

Where can you get the door

What was your materials cost on this project ? Very nice job. Looks bomb proof

Depth of footing is......., size of metal post......etc.

What are the dimension of the foundation and metal size

I'm surprised to not see anyone asking for the soundtrack lol

How much was the total cost for this project?

Very nice 😍😍😍😍 Whats the total cost? Thank you.

What?

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

Cheap gate with the wrong arch, adjustable hinges because you will be adjusting them next year or so even though that you have connected both gate posts … All that expensive concrete, block , stone work but cheap openers that will fail within a year or two Go back to the drawing board 😉
