Guys, I love my cats. For real though, this is a great option for both dogs and cats (and other sweet animals).

I bet your cats appreciate all your hard work! Our cats would jump right over the gate. Have you thought of building a catio for them? That way they could be outside even when you are in. That would be a very cool project.

WOW! Fantastic demonstration. Love those kitties!

Great job, looks awesome. Thanks for sharing the tips and esp. the mistakes so we can all learn from them and hopefully avoid making the same errors! 🎉

Nice work! Love your ability to own up to and quickly rectify mistakes. I think I would have used galvanized wire netting instead of posts, but your sliding gate matches your existing porch rail system, so it looks better. Your cats are very sweet!

I would love to build a catio one day and I think the galvanized wire would be perfect for that!

Just built a fence and gate for my doggo. Can confirm the learning process. You can study up as much as you want but until you start working on a project you don't know what challenges you will face. Well done.

You should buy a catio (cat patio) or make one. If it is made properly it will be cat proof. ✌️♥️🇺🇲

I love catios! Unfortunately, my HOA probably won’t allow for one.

@RyanElkins75 3 ай бұрын

For the slide operation, you may consider a length of angle iron or flat stock on the back of the gate and a couple of brackets or wheels mounted to the railing for the angle to sit in and glide.

@lindsaymeloy3808 Ай бұрын

Ryan - can you provide more info on this. My gate is pretty wobbly so I think the wheels need to run in a track or something, but I'. not sure the best way to do it

@RyanElkins75 Ай бұрын

@@lindsaymeloy3808 If you screw a piece of flat stock iron (maybe 1/4" x 1") from where your gate lands at the post between stairways to the railing end, you could attach some wheels or some other hardware to the two posts and possibly to the rail closer to where it stops when it's fully open. You will need to stand off the flat stock with some kind of spacer like a stack of washers or maybe a small nut. This will space it out from the gate to give a rail to ride on the wheels.

Good job! Do you have any problems with the balusters getting hung on the top brace when you slide it? I'm trying to get ideas for my sliding gate on my pool deck.

@westonwillow Жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment! I made my top braces a little wider than the gate to allow for wiggle room. When I roll the gate open/closed I lean it straight so the balusters don't catch. My gate does naturally lean on the braces.

I put rigid wheels on mine because I read others had the same issue if you used castor wheels. The rigid wheels work great for me. Hope this helps!

what breed are your cats? 😻

@westonwillow Жыл бұрын

They were both actually found outside and adopted. So we aren't sure what they are but the gray one looks a little bit like a Russian Blue. We assume the white tabby has a little Siamese in him because of his coloring.
