Ok, so in the last couple weeks I've sought advice about a carb and painting a truck. How about spring project #3 that is currently in progress and must be finished before I start painting the truck. <br /><br />I'm building a 6' wooden privancy fence around my back yard. As part of the fence, I need to put in a 20' gate (2x10' sections). I'm looking for suggestions on making one that will last a few years. Placing a moveable support in the center when it is closed is acceptible. <br /><br />Long story on needing a gate that big, but I'm putting in a new 20' carport for my boats and it must be placed close to the fence for numerous reasons. If I built a regulat 12' gate, it would be impossible to get my boats in easily.<br /><br />Ideas so far - <br />1. wooden frame using cables for cross braces instead of wood<br />2. Sheet metal cattle gates with pickets screded to them to look like regular fence<br /><br />10' is a long way out there from a post.... But I don't have much choice. I would do a sliding gate, but that doesn't seem very feasible either.
