The sheet also gives a lift gate (Type B), a pin-hung gate that lifts out of cleats (Type C), an X-braced plank gate with a sag rod for wide openings and cattle lots (Type D), a double-braced gate on strap-iron hinges (Type E), a hog-proof fence passage and steps over a fence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12'-0\" W × 4'-4\" H (366 × 132 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 weekend (6–8 h)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx.

Seven rails — six 1×4 and a 1×6 at the bottom, spaced tight near the ground and wider up top — are sandwiched between paired 1×4 battens and bolted at every crossing, so there is no joinery to cut. The hinge end is a 7'-0\" stile of a 4×4 and a 2×4; a long 1×4 head brace runs from the bottom of the latch end up to the top of that stile and holds the free end up, and a short brace carries the load down into the bottom hinge corner. This edition keeps every dimension, specifies modern lumber, galvanized carriage bolts and off-the-shelf band hinges, and adds an optional cable and turnbuckle behind the head brace so you can take up any sag over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15'-9\" W × 4'-0\" H (480 × 122 cm); hinge stile 7'-0\" (213 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 weekend (6–8 h)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx.
