straps the corner of the gate is effectively locked at 90 degrees to prevent
sagging and distortion)

Use this easy to build plan to
fashion not only rail gates but by varying the configuration of the front layer
you can build strong solid board gates and picket gates as well.
Extremely heavy duty (straps are made of 2 inch wide steel that is a 1/4 inch thick)
Available in 5", 12", 18", and 24" lengths with central eye
3 inch space between straps accommodates two pieces of 2 x 6 lumber
Large 3/4 inch eye to fit our wide selection of 3/4 Inch Pins
Available in Hot Dipped Galvanized or Black Powder Coat over HD Galvanized
A Long Double Strap is usually used on the top rail of the gate (12" for gates up to 4 feet wide, 18" for gates up to 7 feet wide, and 24" for gates up to 12 feet wide). The 5 inch double strap can be used on the bottom of all sizes of gates but we highly recommend the use of the Adjustable Bottom Fitting as it offers very easy gate adjustment. Gates over six feet high should have a third hinge.
