My dad and I made this gate door from some scrap metal we had laying around. We were still just learning how to weld and this was our first major project together.

1x1 inch hot rolled square tubing

1/2x1/2 inch hot rolled square tubing

Welder

Welding corner clamps (or magnets as we used)

Grinder

Paint

Primer

Door knob

90-degree corner connecter x4

Step 1: Take Measurements

Take measurements of the intended area the gate would go.

Step 2: Sketch the Design of the Gate

Sketch the design of the gate that includes the measurements you took. Or you could use a picture as a reference like my dad and I did. Before moving on to the next step, double-check to make sure all measurements and designs are finalized.

Step 3: Cut or Make Sure All Pieces Are the Rigtht Size

Make sure all pieces are the correct size.

Step 4: Make Middle Piece

Cut all the corners at a 45-degree angle then tac and weld together. After that, then grind down until smooth.

Step 5: Make Corners Round

Step 6: Weld Frame Together

Use the magnets or clamps to hold together the pieces then weld together. Grind until smooth after

Step 7: Weld Frame and Middle Piece Together

Line up the middle piece with the center of the frame. Then weld pieces together.

Step 8: Weld Middle Bars

Use the 1/2-inch square tubing for the middle bars of the gate. Then weld all pieces to the middle frame and the centerpiece. And then grind all welds till smooth.
