Gates for 10' door openings

[mfnlonewolf]

Need some ideas to install 4' cattle panel gates on my shop door openings. My 1yr' old chocolate lab loves to drag items out of my shop and destroy them. It has been 100 degrees the last several days and important to have air flow to keep my fridge and freezer cool. Keeping him in the house is not an option!

Why not pick up something like this? Would fold in/out fairly quickly I would think.

I bought a used 10'x10' dog kennel and put one of 10' across the door when he is in the garage. Then took the other 3 sections and made a space behind the garage with a dog door. He can go and do his business and come back in on his own.

Use 2 of the 5' chain link gates and bolt them to the door frame. Easy to open and close. Drill a shallow hole in the center for the lock rod to go in.

Lone wolf - You have any luck with your gate? I need one to keep my son from running into the street. I already have the gate posted above but don't want to make it a permanent fixture. I like the idea of 2 gates that can swing closed and be locked.

The scissors action gates you see in the bad pert of town are what you need.

They can be installed inside your door to avoid the "look"

They also install in minutes with 1 person

Many different types of swimming pool fence panels are available. Buy four 5-foot panels and drill your slab for four sleeves at each door, or figure out another way to install the panels. You could use a wider panel and a gate for one door. Lots of ideas here...

I like that. I think this style is the way I'll go.

All you need is a 3/4 hammer drill bit and whatever it takes to mount the top bracket to the wall. Before you order measure how far off the wall you need to clear the tracks of you're door. We use their 9 inch offset bracket alot. They also offer a tube you can anchor to the floor on the lock side. Just put 5 in last week
