The Big Double Pole Gate is a tall metal gate wide enough to let vehicles through. It closes off a driveway or a compound entrance while keeping a car route open.
It belongs to Welding and sits in the Welding section of the Building menu. It comes in a single version. The tooltip says pointy weapons can attack through it. That makes it a good choice for a main entrance where a defender wants to see and strike at the dead outside.
The gate suits a walled yard that needs a working vehicle exit. A smaller gate is enough where only people pass through.
How to Build Big Double Pole Gate
The build takes a Welding Torch, Iron Pipe, Door Hinge, Scrap Metal and Welding Rods. Iron pipe and hinges are the heavy part of the list, so gather them before starting.
The recipe needs Welding level 5. It must be learned first. Welder Monthly - April 1993 teaches it. Each build gives Welding XP.

How to Use Big Double Pole Gate
Once built, the gate works like a door across a wide opening. Survivors walk through it after opening it, while zombies are held back.
Both sides can see through the poles. That lets a defender watch a crowd build up before it reaches the fence line. Firearms and some weapons can be used through the gate, and the tooltip names pointy weapons in particular. A spear behind the gate can thin a crowd without opening it.
The wide opening is its main purpose. It lets a car or truck enter a fenced compound.
Notes
- Wide enough for vehicles to drive through.
- Spears and other pointy weapons can strike through the poles.
- Welder Monthly - April 1993 teaches the recipe.
- Firearms can also be used through the gate.
