How to build a deck gate that won’t sag (trust me, I’ve learned the hard way) The secret? A diagonal brace that redirects force INTO the hinge, not away from it. If your brace runs hinge-to-latch, your gate will thank you (and so will your future self). I framed it with @microprosienna pressure-treated 2x4s, add a diagonal brace corner-to-corner, and cover seams with ripped boards for a clean look. Built-in: modern, sturdy, and gate-that-stays!
