How do I attatch my fence gate hinges
Use one screw-in lag bolt per hinge that can penetrate to the post for at least one bolt hole
You're wise to realize this now. I learned this one the hard way. Had someone build a gate for me and used the maybe 1.5&quot; bolts that came with it. Over time, the weight of the gate pulled the 2x4 away from the post. I have a drive-in lag bolt there now, but you'll be far better off if you lag bolt it now rather than later.
