How to replace fence and gate?

NicoleDIY

Our fence is on a lean and the gate has dropped over time and now scrapes on the deck. Would like to replace with an easy DIY fence and gate. The fence and gate are 1500H and 1990W. Doesn’t need to be the same style/design. Would prefer a gate that is lighter weight. Can either buy something pre-made or make with the appropriate materials.

Any suggestions?

Hello @NicoleDIY

Thanks for sharing your question about partially replacing your gate and fence. I propose looking at the steel gate frames available at the store. They are adjustable and others can be cut to size to fit the space that you have. They can be used as single or double door gates. I recommend using 100 x 16mm Fence Paling H3 Treated Pine Wet - 1.5m to cover your gate frame.

As for the static section, I propose rebuilding the frame and putting in new concrete footings so that it does not move or lean.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
