First, take any tools and supplies that you require. You should have 4 sticks and 2 wooden planks. You may take any wooden items for this step.

Meanwhile, for the fence, you already know the process from the earlier chapter. You can get detailed information about that from there.

Second, open the crafting menu. After you begin with your crafting menu, you will see the crafting table. It has a 3×3 crafting grid, as you see on the attached image.

Third, begin the process by adding all required items. In this part, let us use the oak fence as an example. However, you can use any wood type for this.

The crafting table has a total of 9 tables with 3 tables in each row. Then, start to place your required item one by one. Make sure to do it in the correct pattern.

In the first row, you should take 2 sticks and 1 wooden plank. Put one of them in your row as part of how to make a fence gate in Minecraft. Then, continue with the wooden plank and end with the last item.

After that, you can continue to the next row. Placing the items in this row is almost the same as the previous row. You can begin with the stick and end with it too.

So, now you have a fence gate.

There is one thing that you have to memorize. If you do not place it in the exact pattern, you will not get the same result as in your picture. Besides, you will get the same look whether you use a different wood type.

Follow the process step by step for a better result. Otherwise, you may deal with an issue. After you finish with this part, you can move to the forwarding step.

Fourth, move your fence gate. This step is easier than the previous one. You have to place your fence in the inventory.

Your inventory is located below your crafting table. It allows you to place your newly created item here. So, you can apply it once you need those items.

Most players create the gate first and then continue with the gate. By having both, you can build your area with open access.

You may begin the process by adding one by one. Prepare all you need and keep it in your inventory. Once you have to use it, you can take it any time.
