Steps For The Construction Of Custom Gates

By Stephanie Turner


Good fences or gates will surely result to having good neighbors but having an ugly or a poorly designed one would not make them happy. So this article will be showing you how to build strong panels and as well as to construct gates. The tips will be sharing you the methods on achieving secure connections, fastening, and solid footings. Doing this can be advantage for you since the project would not require expensive tools.

So before starting to perform the construction process, the first thing that you have to do is applying for gate permit and this can be done through processing in the department for the local building inspection in Palm Springs, CA. With this, following the regulations in the application is highly necessary. The regulations for the custom gates Palm Springs CA include setback requirements that would range from your property lines to maximum height allowed.

The regulations usually may vary on different locations, so the gate may either be installed in the back or front yard, house corners, or adjacent to streets. Another important for you is to pass all the plans that you have made and these plans would include the over all dimensions of property such as the property lines, distances, outlines, and heights. All information are needed to be provided clearly.

So first thing to do is marking the property lines. This process can be done by hiring a professional surveyor. But if you plan on doing it by yourself, you need to have the metal detector in order to scan the areas. So if the indicator can detect one dig it down to ensure that there is really a steel stake.

After you receive your gate permit, begin on laying out the fence posts. See to it that the space between each post has an even distance. Second is to set up the posts. During this process, first thing to so is to line up post edges by making use of the string line marks. Then after lining up is plumbing the posts on both directions before starting to brace the screws with the stakes.

Next is to install and level lower rails. Heights may depend on what will you prefer but you need to make sure that the length has the best size for easy cutting. The spaces between panels and grounds will depend on your preference as well, whether higher or may be shorter. Lay out the cut your top rails. In between posts, use a straight board when marking the spaces. The panels either are stepped down or up to accommodate some changes in the grades.

Install the fence panels and top rails. Get a pair from each lower rails and upper rails then screw the pairs into cleats. During this step, make sure that there are correct angles in the driven nails. After both fence boards are driven, check the sides if these are properly angled.

Next is building the gates. When cutting and assembling the frames, do it in a flat surface. If the size of gates are the same as the fence panels, use the pattern of top rail when marking and cutting the top curve. But if not, you will have to make another pattern.

And lastly is hanging the gates. After assembling all hard wares, install them. See to it that the gate is blocked higher in order for the ground to be cleared when opened. Also, see to it that hinges, bolts, and screws are mounted tightly.
