  • I would like to turn this fence panel into a gate. Mainly as I'm blocking my existing gate with a new shed.

    Its 1500mm approx and looking for absolute easiest possible solution mainly due to my DIY abilities.

    Current thinking would be to rip fence panel in halfish, beef it up. Then hang both sides on either post with some hinges and have something on the top to keep them together? I can then kick through my swing doors into my garden with my bike like I'm entering a Saloon. Any easier suggestions welcome before I inevitably have to get someone to do it for me..

  • My initial feelings/observations are that you've already got a gate - so if at all possible swap them around.

    I think you will be unpleasantly suprised at how ropy those fence panels are even when new. However, they can be taken apart easily. I picked up a taller one that was damaged on a discount and then partially took it apart, fixed the damage and put it back together.

    I've found that those concrete screws are great for concrete fence posts and make screwing into them so much quicker.

    Can't recall who, but someone made their own garage doors. Maybe have a search in the thread and pm them for advice?
