DIY garden gate
My wife and daughter wanted a garden and wanted a fence to keep out deer and rabbits. I put in metal posts and ran fencing around it that is probably a half-inch mesh. The whole space is probably 40’ by 15’. All good, except I need a better gate. My wife just isn’t happy with my temporary section of the fence between two posts (about four feet apart) that she can pull back. Any ideas for building a gate? The ground isn’t quite level, so my thinking is a gate section that can be lifted and removed. I can’t make one to swing due to adjacent grass on the outside and raised beds on the interior. I was going to make a slightly non-square rectangle using pressure-treated 1x4 with a diagonal piece for support. Not quite sure how to latch it in a way that will be easy for her to move. submitted by /u/SFS9 [link] [comments]
