I am having to build a privacy fence and gate at the bottom of my
driveway to hide my Travel Trailer.
the fence and gate need to be 8 feet high. The gate will be a double
gate, with a total width of 10 feet.
Can this be done? Each gate will be 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. I
want the gate to open out, and there is a slant of about 10 inches from
one side to the other. Not sure where to start. Anyone with any tips,
or ideas would be great. Thanks.

Build a torsion box using 1x4 braces covered with 1/8 particle board.
Cap all four sides with a molding wide enough to span the 1" width (and
maybe a bit extra. Put it together with ss or hdg screws plus some glue
on the caps (you can also use some construction adhesive on the
hardboard). The paint with a good quality primer and ext. color coats.
The idea here is to keep water out of the interior of the door (hence
the caps). It is a very rigid structure and is fairly light in weight.
You should be able to get away without having wheels. Strap hinges
bolted to the frame are a good idea. Buena suerte.
