| this chicken proof gate I made keeps the chickens out of the backyard but still allows them to roam in and out of the cage. No more chicken poop everywhere. |
 |
| I hammer drilled ½" holes and epoxied galvanized anchor bolts into the concrete to hold the post bases |
 |
| 4x4 side sections getting morticed together to hold lattice panels |
 |
| Home made lattice using ¼" thick strips of redwood. Stapled and glued. No knots. |
 |
| Gate being assembled with no fasteners just through mortices and wood glue. |
 |
| close-up of a through tongue and mortice |
 |
| bottom panel was tongue and grooved on my shaper before assembly |
 |
| This was scrap metal I found at a garage sale. I stretched it diagonally to fit the gate |
 |
| more joinery close-ups |
 |
| the day before I bought a morticing machine |
 |
| ready to glue everything up |
 |
| I round the corners of my panel to match the rabbit. this way I dont expose my mortice to the elements by squaring the rabbited channel instead + its faster and easier |
