Re: Courtyard Gate and Canopy

Hello @tal_itha 

 

Thanks for sharing your steps and the materials you used to build the courtyard gate and canopy. It looks fantastic and very modern. I was wondering about how you kept the gate closed. Curving the Polycarb was a great idea and using magnetic latches to hold the door close is clever. Did you do it over several weekends or did you finish it all in a few days!

 

Again, thanks for sharing such a wonderful project.

Re: Courtyard gate and canopy

Good Morning @tal_itha 

Now thats a good looking gate! Serious you have picked up on the retro but modern theme for your house. I would be interested to see if the outside liquid nails holds up :smile: As to using the threaded rods (I think) that you got from the end of the aisle :smile: Brilliant! What made you think of using them like that? I love the outside of the box thinking, where something is used in not quiet the way it was originaly thought of. 

 

I am sure your doggo appreciates the cover :smile: 

 

A nice project for sure.
