Tongue And Groove Gate Plans

Next with the tongues and grooves on all the boards grab the board with only a tongue moulded on and the board with only a groove within it as we need to run a chamfer on the.

Tongue and groove gate plans.

Plus the tongue and groove cedar boards ensure privacy as no one will be able to peek through slats in the gate. This timber is called 4 x 1 treated timber in the builders yards and timber merchants where you will find it is a lot cheaper than places like homebase and b q. Step 2 run a bead of glue inside the all the grooves using the tip of a glue bottle. Use a 3 4 inch chisel to clear out any material in the groove.

This project provides instructions to create a 42 inch wide cedar wood gate that will add style and function to a fence. Reset the height of the table saw blade to 3 8 inch set the fence at 3 4 inch and cut the face of each short side of each board. In a router you can ignore this as the boards should go through face down. The gate we are making is made from treated sawn timber planks which are 100mm wide and 25mm thick.

Next we ll cut the tongue that will make up this tongue and groove joint. Lay nine pieces of tongue and groove wood face down parallel to each other on a flat surface. And the black hardware beautifully contrasts with the red cedar. For a gate approx 1m wide ours was actually 900mm you will need 5m.

Match the tongue on one board with the groove on the other board.
