New Door and Gate
Phil has been busy. The duck pen is going on its 3rd or 4th door now, I really can't remember. They all last several years but this summer, the current duck pen door had finally had it. The bottom board had fallen off and it was getting holes in the middle board. Phil surprised me with this last night. It doesn't even hit the roots in the ground when I open it and close it like the last one did!
Then today he did the shed gate. The back shed has had a wire gate. Just a piece of rabbit wire, stretched across the opening that I nailed on one side and hooked onto nails on the other side. Today it has this.
Yes, of course, that is more pallet wood though he did have to buy a 2 x 4, some hinges and a latch.
looks great
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Go Phil!!!!!! He is on a roll - man I could use a few new gates at my place - send him up north!
ReplyDeleteCan't. I'm not done with him yet, still have a few more project, lol.
DeleteHey, you really are going up-market! I like the fact that Phil has made the gate more attractive by making the vertical pieces different heights.
ReplyDeleteI liked that too Mark. He is getting good with these pallets!
DeleteI agree with Mark, that's a good looking gate! Functional and attractive.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! Love the gates! What a neat way to upcycle those pallets! Hope you and Phil are staying hydrated in this terrible heat today! Stay cool! Blessings from Bama!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas using pallets. I am gathering a bunch to make some furniture and a privacy fence for my town property. Good work.
ReplyDeletethis must be the week for building/repairing gates and doors... this is what we have been doing too. lol, i am still waiting for hubby to build me a palletwood doggy deck to place over the sandbox/mudhole in my front yard!
