Replacement Gate From Fence Sections
I needed to change the gate on my driveway and wanted to follow the same style as the perimeter fence I was in the process of replacing. I ended up using pre-assembled redwood sections (just like the fence) I got at Lowes. Each section was 6' high by 8' long. This photo is from the outside and shows 2 sections of fence and an walk thur door to the right. I ended up shortening all three sections to fit. I had to dig a new hole and cement a new post. I used black fence hardware and latches. Time 2 weekends. Cost about $200.
Hardware Closeup
Here's an external shot of the hardware. I modified the sections to use a door knob with lock and inside string release.
Plenty of Room
The person entrance is plenty wide and an easy way to get inside without opening the main gate.
Shot From Inside
Here's a shot from the inside looking out. Everything matches and it should last another 15 years with periodical termite treatments.
