We have a gate on the side of my house that allows access to the backyard. While not a conspicuous gate, I wanted to replace it with something more interesting to look at. The opening for the gate just happens to be out of square, thanks to a rock-faced wall that leans in. In order to make the new gate look right, I’ll have to intentionally build a crooked gate. And if I do my job correctly, no one will ever know it isn’t square.

I’d like to thank my buddies Matt Cremona (   / mcremona  ) and Andy Klein (   / anklein2  ) for helping me out with this project. Check out Matt’s stool build:    • Making Sculpted Bar Stool in Marc Spagnuol...  

Outdoor Finish
To finish the gate, I decided to use one of the most durable outdoor finishes regimens I know: CPES followed by Epifanes. I’m new to the Colorado climate so I’m anxious to see how this finish holds up.
