I like the pipe fence hinge working on a T post. Good idea
@neilthornock2 жыл бұрын
Very good, this got us going on our gate. FYI the linked Amazon hinge for the T-Post is too big for the t-post. We found the right sized hinges at Home Depot. The hinges for the gate worked well without modification. Also we found that a regular chain link fence latch attaches nicely to the t-post to hold the gate in place when closed.

@@grantimagesllc8720 I don't have a link, it was a generic part from Home Depot. We just tried parts out at the store until we found the right combination. We did find that attaching the hinge sideways to the t-post made it so we didn't have to modify the hinge.

We need to do this right away, replacing our 3' fence to a 5' or 6' fence as our boxer mix realized how to jump over to have a play date with our new neighbor dog!!! I was looking for something inexpensive and doable and this is it!! I truly appreciate you sharing your ideas and thoughts. Once done I'll share too:-)

Thank you for this, I'm in the process of reseeding a slope that's eroding from our dogs wearing it down to dirt. I've circled the slope with 3' wire fence and was looking for a way to hang 2 gates, one at the top and one at the bottom for lawnmower access since our lawnmower shed is at the top of slope and our yard is at the bottom. Nice job, I think I'll paint mine too.

Great video, but you kinda cheated on the latch since you attached it to the wood structure. :) What would you suggest for a latch if we only have t-posts?
@GetRealBaby6 ай бұрын
"Did you find a solution to having only a t-post to latch your gate to? My guess is to use something as simple as a zip tie on a second t -post, or a ground stake at the base of the gate that can hook up out of the way when opening and closing the gate. You have to forget about that little hooking device to come up with something creative and functional. My nephew suggested a colorful rope attached to the gate that can wrap around the t-post at the top. Lots of ways to do this, right? Good luck!

@@GetRealBaby We ended up creating a gate with 4x4 posts so the latch would have something to go into, and of course making for a much more sturdy gate. Still doing great after almost a year.
@GetRealBaby6 ай бұрын
@@WallyJ2K I'd like to get away from the 4x4 posts...too expensive with the cement that goes along with planting them in the ground, not to mention the work involved. I'm thinking of an all t-post fence with twisted wire, not welded wire, and bracing each corner t-post with an easy on/off 2x2": brace set at a diagonal to the t-post. We only want to keep out stray dogs and coyotes as well as raccoons, skunks, o-possums, and deer..

It depends what you're trying to keep out. This works perfect for deer and rabbits, although rabbits could get under the back gate I have. If you are trying to keep woodchucks or other critters that can dig under out, this would not be ideal. We use this strictly for deer mainly and some for rabbits. We have tons of deer here.
