Appreciate it mate!

I appreciate all constructive criticism. Since I'm brand new to all of this, I'm happy to hear areas for improvement. With regard to the gate being offset from the fence - I noticed that when it was too late and noted it for next time. I like the idea of a slam board, I'll strongly consider adding it.

Thanks for the other input and advice too. My other gate is also in the process of failing although I don't think ill need to replace the post. I'll definitely keep this all in mind as I rebuild that one. Thanks for your thoughts!

Good to know! I'll keep an eye on it. Worst-case is the pickets split and I drill in new pickets. Quite frankly as long as I'm not digging a hole and removing concrete again I'm perfectly happy haha!

For the record, these are the pickets that I used.

Thank you kindly.

Thank you! I definitely "wasted" a lot of time. But that time "wasted" was definitely used to learn. The gate on the other side of my house is also falling apart. I'm not going to replace the post because that concrete just covers my whole side yard area, but the wood is rotting at the top. Not sure what to do here. Might use wood filler and rot repair and try to get some more years out of it and just build a new gate. Excited to learn though!

Thank you. I installed our dishwasher, hung some blinds, installed a new door handle and whatever other small misc items. But this was the first time I've ever built something. I definitely took my time and probably overthought a lot of it. Definitely enjoyed the process though and look forward to other projects!

Appreciate the kudos man!

Thanks for the input! That was a point I struggled a bit with. I'll keep that in mind in the future!
