The Big Double Wire Gate is a tall metal gate wide enough for vehicles to pass through. It closes off a driveway or yard entrance in a fenced base.
It belongs to Welding and comes in a single version. The in-game tooltip says pointy weapons can attack through it. That lets a defender stab at zombies from the safe side while the gate holds. It is one of the more expensive metal gates to make. Build it where a car or truck must enter a welded perimeter. For a simple walkway, a Small Wire Fence Gate costs much less.
How to Build Big Double Wire Gate
This recipe must be learned first. The magazine Welder Monthly - April 1993 teaches it. It asks for Welding level 5. Each gate gives 50 Welding XP.
The materials lean on pipes and hardware. It takes eight Iron Pipe, four Wire, four Door Hinge and two Scrap Metal. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods do the joining. Both are drawn down by the build.
Iron Pipe and Scrap Metal are common welding stock. Gather all of it before starting, since the gate is built in one go.
Welders usually reach this gate after the smaller wire fences. Those fences train Welding at lower levels on cheaper materials.

How to Use Big Double Wire Gate
The gate opens and closes like a door. It is a double gate, wide enough for vehicles to fit through.
The wire mesh keeps the view open. A defender can watch the approach and strike through it with a spear or other pointed weapon. This makes the gate part of the defence, not just a way in.
Fit it into a line of matching wire fences. A gap in the fence line defeats the purpose of a strong gate.
Notes
- The tooltip says it is wide enough to let vehicles through.
- Pointy weapons can attack through the mesh.
- Learn it from Welder Monthly - April 1993.
- Gather Door Hinge before starting, since four are needed.
