Question

Me again  I would like to turn the fence fanel near our garage into a gate by cutting it in half as we cant afford to get one put in just yet. How woukd I stabilse the other half to the wall to remain as a part fence? Awful drawing to show basic idea for the latch and hinges

Answer 1

How high is the wall, are you able to step over it if a gate is going there?

@eteocles7 yeah its low would be able to step over.  

Answer 2

Take it all out and have a double gate

Answer 3

Putting a post in.  

Answer 4

Why not knock the dwarf wall down, and hang a pair of gates from the brick pillars

@brame326 dont really need that wide of a gate.  

Answer 5

Why not leave it full length it is hinges oneside and lock the other baton of wood to secure the hinges rather than cut in half

Comments

@gunboat yeah thats not a bad idea

@lanita thats what id do personally less hassle and will still look the same

Answer 6

Put a post in on both sides with top support it will hold cut gate out of wall

Answer 7

You will need a post into a “bolt on”

Comments

@adios5651 first strong wind and it will pull the lot down. the brick work either need tied into block work or removed

Answer 8

I would keep it as a hole panel and just just make it easyer to unscrew it

Answer 9

A gate on a wall? I'd leave it as it is
