Visiting my sister in England, she needed a gate. Had to work in metric for a change. Very few old tools, one sharp chisel, two hand saws and a tape measure. A rusty Black and Decker workmate was my friend.
Chose half lap joints, painted with deck sealant and screws ( those Philips things of course).
Quite heavy, wood not dry at the merchants. Hinges carefully morticed into the supporting post for maximum strength.

As as you can see had some fun with the supporting shape!
