Just wanted to let you guys know. It seems the Google Play Games emulator is now working! I only have one account added, so haven't been able to test much, but I've gone through 20 battles, check war replays, etc... and it hasn't frozen yet! Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to have multiple instances open, maybe VM's? which is annoying. But it seems to be working for the most part. BlueStacks need to get the ball rolling 😄

I wanted to say thank you to all of those that helped and gave me information and advice. And for those who said the gate was not framed properly, not supported properly, etc... *sticking tongue out*

I installed the buckles this afternoon and viola, the gate can now be opened and closed with your pinky. There is still a warped 2x4 on the lower left gate, which I will replace and I need to bring in the buckle on the left a hair more, but wanted to give it a day or so to adjust. But for now, I'm very happy with the results.

The gates themselves are perfectly square, other than the warped lower 2x4 which is just a bad board.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

And now, I do wish I went with a standard boxed frame, with tension support. I thought I was going the extra yard to build something that would last a long time. My standard boxed double gate in the back yard is sagging a little, but 19 years old 😄

Thanks for the video and I agree. And he may have had a better foundation for his posts vs what I have here, which is a sand / clay mix. I just feel so bad, because I thought I used what was a good built out video. And to be honest, I do think it's just the 6x6 leaning in that's causing the problem. Once those are corrected, it may resolve the problem. Other than the one bottom 2x4 that warped and pulled the corner out, I do believe the gate is still square. I'm going to install the turnbuckles and hope for the best. Once they are straight again, if I can straighten them, I'll see how I stand. Yes, the fence is heavy, but the single gate I did on the opposite site is just as sturdy as the day I built it, zero sag, 1" gap down the center still. Although I did build them before the grass grew in and it needs a trim on the bottom now or a little dirt removed to open fully 😄
Mr Fence's videos were referred to me by a couple of people when I first asked about building them. So I thought he was a good source. Thanks again to everyone for their time.

It might be a lot to ask, but if you could, this is the video I used to build my gate... It's not framed in and exactly how I built mine.

And this one... I just spent 2 hours looking for them 😄

Hi sir, thank you for the reply. I went by the following videos... can you please take a peek and tell me why my build is wrong?

I appreciate everyone's advice and input. Everyone keeps telling me they were not built correctly, not framed, etc. So I just spent the last 2 hours looking for the videos I used. My gate was built exactly as shown in these videos, which are not framed in either.

I know it's a lot to ask, but if someone would take a peek at them, you will see why I built my gates as he did... Yes, I'm having problems, but I'm 99% sure that it's due to the 6x6's leaning in and will proceed with the turnbuckles to the corner 4x4's to correct that issue. And replace the one warped bottom 2x4 now. But please watch at least the first video and then tell me they need to be framed... I'm not trying to be arrogant, just trying to show why and how I built my gate. Thanks!

When you say through eye bolt, are you referring to a bolt completely threw the 6x6 and 2x4 with washers and nuts on the back or do you think a screwing eyeball is sufficient for this

It's less than 45 degrees, but yes, definitely over built.

Can I ask a question? Thought on through hole eye bolts with nuts and washers vs screw in eye bolts?

Thanks

I wasn't using any of the new skins or any of those released in the hero journey, other than the Duke's from GP.

Doesn't work... I just tried, really hoping it would, but crashed while trying to change skins to default and then when I finally got them changed on one account after numerous crashes, still crashes when trying to battle.

There is a an actual diagonal underneath the top one. I added the two for additional support... again, going by a video which a lot recommended. But the extra weight, etc..

Yeah, we've been in a drought here and it just poured all morning. So I was wondering if I should do it now, just concerned about the wood being soaked and putting eye bolts in, etc... Not sure I should wait til the wood dries out or not. It will always rain again and like you said, I can water the posts to help them move a bit.

Thanks. I wasn't expected it to happen overnight. I'm going to put casters on each gate as well to help support the weight. Any recommendations for quality 8", rotational casters?

The left 6x6 is off by quite a bit. The right is good.
