I know it’s a small project, but I thought it was neat
I had an odd problem that needed an odd solution. 9 feet between fence and gutters with 7ft wide trailer. Putting a 4x4 with a gate next to the neighbors fence wouldn’t leave enough wiggle room in an already tight trailer maneuver. I found a couple 1.5’ steel tubes from a steel supply shop that were just barely larger diameter than galvanized fence posts and concreted them with a couple inches above ground. Drilled set screw holes through both sets of tubes to lock the galvanized fence in place. Built the wood fence onto the galv posts and added collars to the bottom of them as depth keepers to make getting the set screws back in. The fence is now a fully removable section that’s light enough for a single person with a gate so I can get the trailer in and out with ease and resecure the yard. submitted by /u/Only_Half_Crazy [link] [comments]
