Hi there, here's how I built mine: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/build/decks/deck-gates-a-simple-wood-working-project-how-to-33254792 the trouble with wood gates is how heavy they are. Make sure you use large enough hinges and provide good support wherever the gate may be closed or open so it never hangs for very long on the hinges.

Hello Sandy,
Make frame from double thick deck boards. Locate spindles in between, drilling holes to accept , top and bottom. Glue .boards and spindles together with wood glue. I would also screw the frame together for strength. Enjoy the project!
