With my husband's help, we installed a 4ft high welded wire fence with metal posts in our yard for our two dogs. It actually looks fairly decent. We didn't get a gate though because neither Lowes nor Home Depot carried a welded wire gate or any lighter weight gate for that type of fence system. Anyone know where I could get one - maybe at a landscape company? Since I used a utility fence maybe a garden gate would work? Any ideas?
Chain link gates are easy to build and install. You could replace the chain link with the welded wire on the gate. It would blend right in.
You may have to install a post to swing the gate on, but it's easy to do.
