I may build a 10ft wide x 5 ft high gate for a person. I 'm thinking the outer frame will be 1"x 1.5" tubing with pickets and etc inside. What I would like to have input on is the wall thickness of the frame. I think .057 wall would be ok but the welds at corners & the hinge would have to beefed up some with some corner plates etc. If I use heavier wall tube, I just have more weight to deal with. Also what size hinges x 2 would be recomended? Either way, I still feel the corners and hinge weld points should be reinforced. When I say corners, they will be mitered.
