CECAA850 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Do they make composite 2x4's? That and stainless for everything for you. We don't have corrosion here rather rot. With the brutal sun and astronomic humidity I'm using concrete board on the house anytime I have to replace something. I'm not doing it again.

The Dude Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Assuming those are hinges on the bottom board, what kind are they? I am looking for something like that in black that I need for a gate on our deck. Fence looks good, I find it interesting some of the different elements different regions deal with.

USNRET Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 The fake rock in front of fence covers the well head, watering an acre made the 200’ well a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK How does that prevent the metal frame corrosion, not enough carpenter in me to build a non-sagging one especially on the other gate; it’s 10 ft wide.
