Tongue And Groove Gate Plans

Lay nine pieces of tongue and groove wood face down parallel to each other on a flat surface.

Tongue and groove gate plans.

Next we ll cut the tongue that will make up this tongue and groove joint. The gate we are making is made from treated sawn timber planks which are 100mm wide and 25mm thick. 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. Flip the boards over and repeat on the other face.

Use a 3 4 inch chisel to clear out any material in the groove. And the black hardware beautifully contrasts with the red cedar. Step 2 run a bead of glue inside the all the grooves using the tip of a glue bottle. Match the tongue on one board with the groove on the other board.

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. This project provides instructions to create a 42 inch wide cedar wood gate that will add style and function to a fence. In a router you can ignore this as the boards should go through face down. Plus the tongue and groove cedar boards ensure privacy as no one will be able to peek through slats in the gate.
