Gate should it be n or z

[Marie106]

Building a fence/palisade to separate part of the garden from another and to avoid visibility from the street. It is 1.70 high with small gaps between the slats, 2.40 wide, then a gate 1.13 wide before another piece of fence at 1.14. The reason for the measurements is that we are adapting to old plinths and pathways. It is 7 m into the property and the neighbor has agreed that we use his garage for one of the posts. Now to my question. I have searched for information on how best to make the gate and I think we have found a good foundation. Frame with reinforced corners, hinges that cover two-thirds of the gate. But should there be a diagonal brace like a Z or N and why? Any other tips?

It depends on whether your grindspjälor are positioned horizontally or vertically.

I would say from the upper free corner down towards the hinge to absorb loads.

If the gate is supposed to resemble the fence, I would have built a frame with a diagonal according to Robert's description. Then whether you want to call it Z or N is a bit up to each individual.

It depends on whether your gate slats are mounted horizontally or vertically.

They should be horizontal like the fence.

Then I'll say like Rickard.ag. Frame or at least two standing and one strut diagonally across.
