[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1569893, member: 26138"] Depends on how thick it is. Much below 1/8 is tough with a stick welder, and many gates are a lot thinner than that. You can do it with something like a 3/32" 6013 or 6011 at 60-80 amps, but you have to be very careful not to blow a hole, and as Brute said, it usually ends up pretty ugly. Sorta like using a sledgehammer to pound a finish nail, it will work, just the wrong tool for the job. [/QUOTE]
