Classic Style Gate

Single Brace
Back of Classic Style Gate
The Classic Style gate starts with a box frame that is held together with glue and coated screws, then the infill boards are attached to the frame using coated screws. These gates are  very strong and have a definite front and back to them.

The gate pictured to the right shows a single brace on the back. A double or "X" brace (below) is also available. The "X" brace is mortised together.
