I have just made a gate 15 feet wide entirely out of 1.75" square
wood.
I wanted two swinging gates but there is no room for them to swing so
it slides with two wheels on a stainless steel rail instead.
It has three rails, four diagonals and 40 pickets and was quite easy
to make, although it took me a long time.


That looks really impressive. Well done! How is it all held together?
Nails?

Thanks.
