How do i build gates for reinforced walls

[Zalinka ~UkG CiTy~]

I love the game and the new building mechanic…i like that its more limiting making it feel more difficult to build..but how do i build gates makes no sense….i get i can make a regular door but the pieces dont fit properly…i want a defensive gate i dont want a ramp cuz my companion gets stuck…this is a weird issue to have enemy's just runn in my base

Building a gate in Sons of the Forest

To start off, you want to pick a spot that’s on the outskirts of your base, but not too far. Once your spot is picked out, you need to get seven logs and stack them on top of each other horizontally where you want the gate to go.

After they are stacked on top of each other, you need to equip your axe and then approach the stack. Close to the logs, you should see a red outline around the center of the logs. Around this outline, cut the middle of the logs with the exception of the very top log. The general shape you’re going for is a basic door, so you have the top log for support and the surrounding logs to keep the door in the middle upright.

Once you have your door-shaped logs, you need to bring another whole log to the door. As you approach the door, you will get a prompt on-screen that offers to halve the log. This will be one-half of your actual gate. Bring another whole log to the stack and halve it again, this time on the other side of the gate.

That's how to build a door, not a gate

My issue with that door is: you cannot lock it. There was a mechanism on The Forest to add a "door handle" to lock it from the inside.

However, it seems like there is no defensive wall gate option in the game currently.
