    Default Timber Rural Gate - Timber Sizes

    Hi everyone!

    This is my second post (my first one was a howdy!).

    I have just started to get back in to woodwork again and I have started with a new Australian post and rail fence. As part of the fence I need some double gates and I would like to make them.

    I would love them to look something similar to this but not exactly the same.

    Attachment 461519

    I would like to make it out of stringy bark because that will match the rails. The gates with be a double 3.6m gate so 7.2m in total. The posts are 200 x 200mm ironbark.

    Will stringy bark be suitable? What size timbers would you use to try and prevent warping but not Be stupidly heavy?

    many thanks in advance!
