There is no reason why you cannot add fence boards to the inside. You will have to trim the two boards on outer edges of the gate to fit depending on how much clearance you have between the frame and post. You don't want the boards to interfere with the gate closing or opening. Also trim around the latch arm unless you want to purchase longer bolts to hold it to the frame. I would install the pickets on the outside of the gate, close the gate, install the inside pickets except for the ones on the outer edges and use a couple of scrap pieces to see how close to the edge you can install the boards on the inside and trim accordingly. Good Luck

Wood rots and steel rusts. Either one is gonna need to be maintained... Steel won't sag...

One sort

I have mixed them and they look fine. It depends on your taste. There is no functional or technical reason not to mix them. They just have different texture and color. If that doesn't bother you, go right ahead. :-)

If you drill out the brick with a 5/8” concrete drill bit and recess the j-bolt into the brick and maybe use epoxy to hold the recessed j-bolts secure that can work.

This is designed for wood applications, but could possibly accomodate if the metal was a heavy enough guage, but if overtightened could bend the metal.

Hello, we recommend the EZ Gate Latch, or simply attach a string to the latch and feed it through a small hole in the post

So they are only long enough for a 4x4 post. Sometimes I see people who just recess the bolt in the back of a 6x6 and it actually gives it a cleaner look because the bolt is mostly hidden on the backside. However you can purchase longer ones from most hardware stores.

@@normanwhitney8713 perfect thanks. I actually like the idea of drilling out a larger hole on the back side and recess the bolt to hid it.

home depot has the gate that has latch that opens from outside model#AG36-3

Correct, the 2 2x4s hold the metal frame to the desired width.

They sag well before rot forms. Corners are not held at 90 degrees therefore they sag, turning into a parallelogram.

They are 5/8" x 6", but you can purchase a long length of needed.

He’s says in beginning outward swing go to other post.

@DdDten negative the cedar hits. Wood. Tried it. It’s an inward opening gate. Try it lol. Doesn’t matter. Switched it to open inward.

What I mean is when u want it to open outward because it’s a bolt u and not a hinge gate the cedar will hit ur post and not open all the way. I was 1.25 inches on the other side (like he said). Can’t get any closer than that. Regardless it’s sturdy just not for outward opening gates unless u want some odd looking space so the cedar can clear when u open outward. Or if u want ur cedar on the inside LoL! Look silly as hell from the street.
