Hi all,

I know this is a fence panel, but I want to make driveway gates in this style but with loglap t&g. I can make the frame easy enough, but Is there any mathematical formula to place the diagonal lengths of loglap? Hope not coz i'm rubbish at maths.
Many thanks.

I'd be inclined to:
-make the frame pieces ready, and dry assemble
-put the t & g together, and clamp
-put the frame on top of the t & g (make sure you're happy with the angle of the diagonal - I don't think it matters what it is - as long as it looks good to you, and that the angles on both sides of the gate match)
-use the inside of the frame to mark the cut lines for the t & g and cut them.
