This striking D.I.Y. side gate was made using decking timber offcuts.

The project

Tara built this sturdy gate by following the above Bunnings tutorial and used recycled pallet timber to make it an affordable project.
Rufaro found that building a side gate can be an easy D.I.Y. project. This great-looking gate was built for a quarter of the price quoted by a professional.
