    My guess is 1/2 will work just fine, but just a guess for me.

    I have my NSS style surf blades made from 1/2". I think it'd be fine for a ghetto gate too.

    1/2 is fine for strength. I like 3/4 for the ability to counter sink the screws and still gave some depth for the threads.

    Very true. Just more material thickness to work with.

    Pics of it together, hoping to try it next weekend. Russ, thanks for the idea!

    Sanded the edges and glued down rubber weather stripping to protect boat.
