Fence and Gate season is HERE! This project was a blast. What was once an obscure side yard is now converted to a secure dog run.

| Dog door trimmed out |
I combined the simplicity of the half-lap joint + some tough outdoor wood glue and added a triple hardwood dowel on each joint to ensure a long, happy life for the gate.
 |
| Aligned |
The thick gauge galvanized 4"x4" grid was procured from an Agricultural supplier. The layout went off without a hitch and the gates practically put themselves together. . . .
 |
| Half-lap pre sanding |
Lots of sanding. Lots of careful staining. Cedar is a tricky material and likes to fracture and splinter--but really performs well in outdoor conditions with a little chemical help to make it shine!

| Simple and secure |
