Secure Your Space! How to Build a Light Timber Security Gate

Hey, this is Alex from Greysand. In this video, I walk you through how I built and installed a lightweight timber security gate for extra access to a secure storage area beside a garage. It’s a simple and practical build using a timber frame and security mesh—great for anyone looking to improve access and safety without overcomplicating the process.

I show you how to size your gate correctly around a mesh panel, square it up, brace it to prevent sagging, and prep it for paint. You'll also see how I installed stainless steel hinges, attached the mesh with security clips, and fitted a lock that can be latched or padlocked. It's a clean and functional project that's perfect for DIYers. Thanks for watching!
