Tongue And Groove Gate Plans

To produce the tongue the spindle block is lifted and then the boards go through face down.

Tongue and groove gate plans.

Flip the boards over and repeat on the other face. 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 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. The gate we are making is made from treated sawn timber planks which are 100mm wide and 25mm thick.

For a gate approx 1m wide ours was actually 900mm you will need 5m. In a router you can ignore this as the boards should go through face down. Next we ll cut the tongue that will make up this tongue and groove joint. Use a 3 4 inch chisel to clear out any material in the groove.

And the black hardware beautifully contrasts with the red cedar. Plus the tongue and groove cedar boards ensure privacy as no one will be able to peek through slats in the gate. This project provides instructions to create a 42 inch wide cedar wood gate that will add style and function to a fence. 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.

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