To create a garden wooden gate, you must first choose a place for it, mark the centers, and also with the help of a special garden drill or shovel, create a couple of wells with a depth of about a quarter meter. In order for the pillars to be able to reliably hold the gate, it is necessary to dig them to a depth of one meter. However, in those areas in which the depth of freezing of the soil in winter is quite large, it is recommended to dig pits, the depth of which will be at least one and a half meters. It is also necessary to deepen the pits by about 15 cm in order to lay a layer of crushed stone or gravel on their bottom, which will play the role of the drainage system.

On one pillar it is necessary to install special loop overlays, after which they must be leveled at certain corners on the side where the gate will open. Then it will be necessary to clip gravel, install pillars from antiseptic wood. If it does not work to get impregnated wood, then you can independently treat it using antiseptic means. For these purposes, it is recommended to use larch. It is necessary to align the pillars vertically plumbing, as well as fix with temporary subpoors. Then the pits are filled to the top with a solution of concrete.

After the concrete solidification, it is necessary to free the pillars from temporary subpes. Using a building level, it is necessary to check how exactly the pillars cost. A pair of workpieces is cut for the manufacture of the top of the pillars. Of these, elements are created that will cover the pillars from above and give them an attractive appearance.

With the help of boards, a direct gate is created. It is necessary to polish the boards, then knock them together. After creating a caliper canvas, it is necessary to plant it on the hinges pre -attached to the pillars.
