I want to erect a fence with gates. I have found suitable fence panels
but no matching gates. Is there is any problem with cutting a fence
panel and making two gates of it, with suitable hinges?

See no problem with it. Assuming the hinges offer good strengh. And
if this is for security, the gates will need to close or lock tight.

Not that I can see. You need to finish off the cut ends of the top and
bottom pieces, and you will need some sort of diagonal brace to keep it
for sagging. There are nice rods with a turnbuckle on them that are
used on screen doors. I've used them on a door that I fabricated for a
fence on a deck that had my spa on it in a previous house. Good husky
hinges, and the rod/turnbuckle like I mentioned, to keep it square.

I've always felt that turnbuckles were only used for doors that had
started to sag. At any rate, on one occasion I replaced two twoxfours
out of three (Z shaped) from my gate and a third of the pickets, and
the next time most of the rest of the gate, and it's good and doesn't
sag. I guess I could have made one from scratch just by copying mine
someone else's.

I would buy an afforable gate on ebay, I have recently purchase a high
quality but cheap gate of ebay company called finer fencing and gates,
they will make to measure at no extra cost.
