OT: RV Gate

[Beaver]

My RV pad is 22 ft wide and I am wanting to put in a 6 ft single door gate and a 16 ft RV gate next to it. I am having a heck of a time finding frames, skeletons, or really anything in the size I want. Found a few that sell the driveway style that you can see through, but I want wood dividers for privacy. Just thought I would see if anyone here has any advice. Thanks!

this may not be the suggestion you are looking for but can you weld ? sounds like a fun DIY project. if you don't currently weld seems a good time to p/u a little wire welder and learn. you could build something custom and cool.

More info needed.... what is your idea of an RV gate? Swing or slide? Motorized or manual? Wheels of a track?
I designed mine. One piece sliding gate, 24' long and 6 ft high. I had a local welder build the frame of 3" x 3" square steel stock. Ride on a inverted V track with 2 steel wheels. Motorized with a Liftmaster sliding gate motor.

I do not know how to weld, but that idea has been brought up. Originally, we were talking about a two door (8' each) swing gate, manual.

Now that I think about it, if I could figure out how to weld a one piece frame for a sliding gate, I could bump it out a little further and have it slide in front of my single car garage stall. Hmm..

Here is my sliding gate, maybe it will give you some ideas.
It is actually 26' long. Pulls open up on a very slight uphill.
6' High.
Cedar tung and groove slats with the "nice side" (smoother and harder to climb) outside.
Note the arches that hold it in place at each end.
Also note the area the track runs on need to be very flat (not necessarily level).

I'm ~10 miles north of you if you need some help welding and fabbing up a frame or two. PM me if you want.
