The gate

I used Redhead three eighths by three inch concrete anchors. I also "lubed" them for ease of installation with an expoxy they use for granite countertops. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Ya know Harv, some things in life are cool. Some are neat. Some things pretty much stink. Many things are just kind of "there". Then every now and then, something comes along and all you can say is... WOW. You've made yet another one of those things. Can't wait to see the installation /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's almost just plain mean! Think Iris has a MP3 player onboard? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We got lucky.

While I was prepping the gate, grinding welds, painting. I had a bud make a wood assistant for placing the rock in place.

Something tells me there wasn't a bit of luck involved in that Harv. Pure artistic skill. WOW /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Iris, wood assistant, bud, and me working like a tabernacle choir. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It went in like grass through a goose, big grass, small goose /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Something tells me that's adding up to be a pretty heavy gate. What are you using for hinges? Hate to see the longhorn state sagging over the years /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
