I've posted here before about gates I am making out of cypress. They
will be very similar to these:

First question: In addition to the carriage bolts that sandwich the
pieces together, would it make sense to use glue or construction
adhesive to glue the pieces together (in the same places the carriage
bolts are located)? I always thought gluing long grain against short
grain

I meant cross grain, not long vs. short.

I am of the opinon that gluing would be a waste of time and materials,
The wet/dry cycles the gates go through will unbond anything you put
on it in a short time anyway.
