How To Make A Vegetable Garden

Do it yourself and learn how to make a rustic-style garden gate, 30 inches wide and 4 feet

tall.

Instructions

Things You'll Need

2 (3-inch or larger) steel or aluminum hinges

1 bolt- style lock

White (or whatever color desired) all-weather paint.

Electric drill and galvanized 2 1/4-inch woodscrews OR Hammer and galvanized 2 1/4-

inch (7d) nails

Tape measure

Sandpaper

3 (2 x 4) boards, each 30 inches (2 1/2 feet) in length

6( 1 x 3) slats, each 48 inches (4 feet) in length

Marking pencil

1. Sanding the boards. Take the sandpaper and smooth off the rough edges of all of the

boards. You may also want to lightly sand the entire length of each board to help the paint

adhere better.

2. Measure and mark. On each 2 x 4, mark points at 3 1/2", 8 1/2", 13 1/2", 18 1/2", 23 1/2"

and 28 1/2". These will be the centerpoints for each 1 x 3. On each 1 x 3, mark at 6", 24" and

42" straight down the center of the board. For example, the first mark should be an inch and a

half from either side of the board and 6 inches down the length. The second mark will be an

inch and a half from either side and 24 inches down the length. Drill guideholes at each mark.

Do not drill all the way through the 2x4's, the screws will not penetrate the opposite side of

the wood. A guidehole is one bit-size smaller than the screw or nail that you will be using to

attach the boards.

3. Painting. Paint each board on all sides. Be careful not to fill in the guideholes. Set the

boards aside and allow them to dry for however long your particular all-weather paint

recommends. Painting the boards before you attach them allows for a much more even,

finished look and saves you a world of trouble by avoiding having to paint in tiny crevices.

4. Attaching the boards. Lay the 2 x 4's out on a flat surface with one and a half feet of space

in between them. Line up each 1 x 3 slat vertically, matching up the guideholes. Screw or nail

the boards into place.

5. Attaching the lock and hinges. On the backside (the side which will ultimately face into

your garden) of the first and third 2 x 4, center and screw on the hinges. Before you attach the

lock, hang the gate by screwing the other side of the hinges into the fencepost.
