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.

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. And the black hardware beautifully contrasts with the red cedar. To produce the tongue the spindle block is lifted and then the boards go through face down. 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. 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. For a gate approx 1m wide ours was actually 900mm you will need 5m. Use a 3 4 inch chisel to clear out any material in the groove.

Step 2 run a bead of glue inside the all the grooves using the tip of a glue bottle. In a router you can ignore this as the boards should go through face down. Lay nine pieces of tongue and groove wood face down parallel to each other on a flat surface. Match the tongue on one board with the groove on the other board.

The gate we are making is made from treated sawn timber planks which are 100mm wide and 25mm thick.
