Tonite I should have the gate to keep the dogs out of my flowers and relaxation area! Been trying for years to get the gate to attach to the house so they can't get around there! But there's Hermoine figuring it out!! Then Kristofer right behind her. I love them but my space is my space. Not their bathroom!
The problem is the sidewalk around the house is against the foundation and I can't put a gate pole in the ground for the gate to latch onto. I tried
: concrete blocks to hold the gate both ways but dogs could push them.
: small bucket of concrete with a pole sunk in it, but the gate wouldn't stay closed enuf that the dogs couldn't squeeze thru!
: had two rings attached to side of the house for the latch stick and they ripped the siding off my house. (replaced siding)
Wish me luck this time it works! :five: Having four holes drilled through the gate pole that four inch bolts with wings (can't think of the real name) will go thru and then anchor into side of house and will hold up to 350 pounds of pressured weight. (dogs weigh @ 120 pounds each!) :eviltongue:
