The Big Pole Fence Gate is a tall gate made from metal poles. It gives a welded fence line a way in and out.
It belongs to Welding and comes in a single version. The in-game tooltip says pointy weapons can attack through it. Survivors walk through it with ease, while zombies stay on the far side. It matches the Big Metal Pole Fence and uses the same welding level. Together they make a see-through outer wall with a working entrance. Skip it only when the fence line uses a different style, such as wire mesh.
How to Build Big Pole Fence Gate
This recipe must be learned first. The magazine Welder Monthly - April 1993 teaches it. The Welder occupation knows it from the start. It asks for Welding level 3. Each gate gives 30 Welding XP.
It takes five Iron Pipe, four Scrap Metal and two Door Hinge. A Welding Torch and Welding Rods join the parts. Both are drawn down by the build.
Most welders build the fence sections first and leave a gap. The gate then fills that gap. Both builds ask for the same skill level, so they come together in a welder's progress.
The Metal Big Pole Fence Gate recipe builds the Big Pole Fence Gate. It needs Welding level 3. Building it gives 30 Welding XP. The recipe has to be learned first.

How to Use Big Pole Fence Gate
The gate opens and closes like a door. Once shut, it blocks zombies and vehicles.
Both sides can see through the poles. Defenders can shoot and use some weapons through the gate. A spear thrust through the gaps reaches zombies crowding the entrance.
Place it where the base needs regular traffic on foot. A wider gate is needed for cars.
