Gates - How to

[Hretsam]

Making gates is  really quite simple, all you need is a frame where you want your gate to  be, and as many fences as the frame is wide.

(1) Make a frame where you want your gate to be.
(2) Put a row of blocks under the place where you want your fences, otherwise you cant place the fences.


(3)  Place a switch on the block beside whichever block you chose to place  the fences, it does not matter which side you put the switch on.
(4) Remove the blocks you had placed to put the fences down.


(5) Flick the switch and you have your gate.


Redstone can be used to power gates. Power a obsidian block that is under the block where you would normally put your lever.

Gates also work with nether brick fence, glass panes of any color including clear glass panes, and iron bars.

Not very easy to follow. I tried 3 different ways and none of them worked.

Finally got it working, not how it said but close enough.

I understand how gates work, but for the sake of people who are confused by this tutorial, someone should post a picture or two to demonstrate.

Update

Would this work with nether fences? If not, would you think about making it a possibility?
