Metal Frame Gate Kits

Hi All,
Brand new to the forum...

I'm replacing my side gates on my house and want to go with something a little more sag-proof. 2 questions.

- Should I buy the Adjust-A-Gate brand or is there a better brand for the metal framed kits out there?

- Can I make one of these kits so my gate opens all the way (180 degrees I guess) instead of stopping at 90 degrees? I like the gate to be all the way open when I am bringing in large items through the gates.

Thank you!

How to install vinyl fence over a step-up in perimeter wall?

M

Hi, I'm planning to install vinyl fence in my backyard. Something like this type: [url]https://www.homedepot.com/p/Veranda-Glendale-4-ft-H-x-8-ft-W-White-Vinyl-Picket-Fence-Panel-73013796/203109197?storeSelection=1271,6209,4878,1251,6178[/url] I've already installed metal posts at 8ft on center, embedded into my concrete wall. I will slip a vinyl post over each post, trim height of metal post as needed, and probably fill the annular space with concrete (unless someone can suggest otherwise on how to stabilize the vinyl post I slip over the metal post). But, at one panel, I will need to step up because the concrete wall steps up. Photo is attached. How do people usually deal with this? Is there a way to modify a fence panel? Maybe, is there a way to install an ADDITIONAL lower horizontal rail somewhere in the middle, and raise this rail up while trimming the bottom of the vertical slats, all to accommodate the step-up (per attached sketch)? Can a lower horizontal rail be moved?? Advice appreciated. Thanks! TheodoreRead More

Pallet fence idea

worcesterthecat on Apr 12, 2019

I'm looking for some thoughts/ brain storming or advise on my back yard. We have dogs and so do the nailbord to the right were the two sheds are. Any time we both have the dogs out they all run up to the fence and loose their minds and we have to intervene. So i would like to find a way to at least put something up at that chain link fence so they cant see each there. it might not stop the problem completely but I think it could help and would be safer cuz they wouldnt be able to bite through the fence. Secondly, it would really be great to have a fenced in area for the dogs that we could let them hang out in for extended periods with out worrying about them getting out, wild life attacking, fights with the other dogs. I was thinking just like from the porch to the stone wall and from the 2 neighbors chain link fences. I want to do something as cheap as possible. I was thinking maybe with pallets? But it also needs to not look crappy (my room mate is the home owner). I'm not sure exactly where the fence would go in relation to the chain link and the stone wall. The stone is kinda the main design element of the back yard so I wouldn't wanna ruin that... Look forward to hearing from you!
