Which 6' wooden gate is STRONGER: A) or B)?
All things being equal (diagonal oriented properly, heavy duty hinges, properly installed posts, gate width roughly 5').
A gate with:
A) An uncut (uninterrupted) diagonal?
Where the horizontal middle rail is cut and fastened each side of the diagonal.
Or,
B) A cut (interrupted) diagonal?
That resumes each side of the horizontal middle rail.
Thanks for your feedback!
