    Follow what the first poster said, and use cedar, they sell it for fence boards. It’s a bit more expensive but light and weatherproof, won’t need painting. They sell hardware to make gates with if you have no confidence in your carpentering–buy a gate kit and follow its instructions. Try Home Depot, they should have everything you need.

    The easy way for your gate or home depot and really like personally would rather build it myself good definitely recommend using screws with screw.
    For your gate or section of items from various woods and cut it myself good luck.
    The easy way for your gate buy premade gate or home depot and really like personally would rather build lot of fence.

    I BUILT A GATE FOR MYSELF FOR MY DECK I USED 2X4S.
    CUT YOUR WIDTH ONES AT 37″ AND YOUR HIGHT ONES AT 33″ cut a plow in the middle of them in the center about 1/4 in. wide and a 1/2 in. deep and buy some plastic latice work. and fit the latice work inside the plow as you put it together with screws put your hinges on and you got a great looking gate
