Just another hillbilly way of doing things..

Good job!

Why the 2 x 4 scraps at the hinges? What kind of frame do you call the one you built?

[hamermksa]

wtf??

[hottieprowelder]

looks ok

[MrB303]

Looks OK at best. Using pressure treated lumber was a mistake. When it dries out it will warp, bend and split. Western red cedar is the only lumber that should go on a fence. And three rails is simply the only way to go.

good job man keep up the good work

I used 2x4s for the rails, not the prefab smaller lumber, therefore there is no need for 3 rails...this is extremely strong, especially with the use of scews for fasteners instead of nails.

Nice Fence. My dad owns a fence company here in ND and they never 3 rail. Where did you get your material? Ive helped my dad put up many fences and NEVER EVER get your fence material from anyone other than a fence company or supplier. I'm seeing so many fences made from that Menard's garbage. Never go to Menard's for fencing needs. Like you, said 2 braces hold up just fine.

looks nice but you should have used three rails instead of just two, it will hold up better in hi winds, nice gate though
