A gate upright has a hole for a rail and one or more inner walls which can be coated with glue prior to the insertion of the rail. In a preferred embodiment, there are two inner walls, one of which is only a partial inner wall, which allows the user to coat the outside surface of the inner walls with glue, then insert the rail at an angle, to avoid screeding the glue toward the back of the gate upright, then rotate the rail onto the full inner wall, and slide the rail a short distance to lock it behind the partial inner wall. In another preferred embodiment, there is only one full inner wall, and the rail is inserted at an angle, then rotated against the inner wall. Glue beads at intersections between the rail and gate upright form an interlocking bracket for further support.
A method of constructing a fence gate, consisting of the steps of, first, obtaining an upright and a rail, wherein the upright has an opening into which the rail is inserted, wherein the upright has one full inner wall, wherein the full inner extends from a first upright side to a second upright side, and extends from an upright top to an upright bottom, wherein the one full inner wall creates an inner box beam, second, applying a quantity of glue is applied to an outer surface of the one full inner wall, and wherein the rail is inserted into the opening at an angle, and then, once the rail is fully inserted, rotated such a rail side adheres itself to the outer surface of the one full inner wall.
