Default Timber for Hardwood Garden Gate

That's a door rather than a gate: taller than wide, meaning that so
long as you have adequate hinges, then the design is easier. For a
door like this, then just use three decent-sized hinges. Really a
ledged and braced door like this ought to be the other way round
anyway - put those diagonals into tension, not compression.


I was always under the impression that braces went upwards from the hinged
side? e.g they were in compression.
