The total cost of this garden gate was about 4 dollars thanks to some lucky salvage finds. The support posts are some fresh cedar trees and the frame for the gate was once a large window. I found it with most of the glass broken out.

The hinges came from an old door in the barn. I used medium sized lag bolts for both hinges, which accounted for almost all of the 4 dollar budget.

I decided to use a top support post because the post closest to the tree is only down in the ground about 10 inches due to some large roots being in the way. The support post is held to the tree by a common lumber bracket which was another salvaged item. It all comes together at the top with a piece of scrap tin cut to the right size and held in place with some dry wall screws.
