Vinyl fence gate

Has anyone built a driveway gate from vinyl fence panels? If it can be done please let me know how. The company my fence is from doesnt make one larger than 4 feet wide.

Vinyl is far too flexible for a gate of that size. Driveway gates need to consist of a welded steel frame hinged on a solid post that won't bend under the weight. Then you can put anything you want on that frame.

[left]Actually had a deer break through fence and break 2 rails. Individual rails are locked into a track with a Nipple an hole set up. Anyone know how to remove rails without replacing the entire section? I have a section piece but had to hacksaw out the rails. Would like to replace without wrecking pieces [/left]Read More

Hi, Has anyone used this kit to go wider than the max of 96" stated by the company? The kit seems like it should be able to go wider no problem with a little modification however calling a few distributors they aren't able to provide a clear answer and none of them were willing to give me the manufacturer's number. I know you can buy two kits and do a double swing but I am hoping to do just a single swing. Kit is below: [url]https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000AMQC2I/ref=twister_B073ZZYN3Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1[/url] Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!Read More
