So, in a few weeks it will be time to build the run for my chicks (who are a week old at the moment). Anyway, what is the best way to build the gate portion to get into the run? I am building a 25x25 run, and definitely want to have access to it. Something simple is preferable, though I don't think it is a complicated task at all. I am just having trouble visualizing what needs done. Pictures would be an added bonus!

Thanks so much for any help!
 
Mine's probably not the best of examples, but you can see pics below. Regarding the hinges, I used the "cafe" type - so that the door swings both in and out - I really like that! Also, I raised the bottom of the gate off the ground about 8" - so I can easily open it when it snows.
