First you will need to build a metal pan deep enough to
submerge your gate with it laying flat and block it up
aroundthe sides with some of your neighbors pavers
(you can return them when through).

Is there a reason one wouldn't treat the wood first and then assemble
the gate?

The pan wouldn't be big enough for a drip pan under the car when
you were through.
