And concrete is only a guarantee of a 5% strength increase according to my reading, as well as an irreversible action. So I'm not understanding how repeating a post just above yours is productive?

Yes, orange is a gallon at around $300 Has more "strength", but designed for small space fills, and is all liquid Red is closer to a yard for closer to $380 Is designed for a larger pour amount, has fine aggregate, and not as strong.

So I finally got a call back from the manufacturer.... Man that wasn't a pleasant conversation. He provided no information, and simply continued to refer me to the website which has information that is not what I'm finding on my material. I don't know if his wording has something to do with...

Oh wow, sorry, I guess I'm not familiar with the quote thing.... So apparently you are familiar with the grout? I literally just got off the phone with a guy about pourable grout. In my reading I came across a guy mentioning ITW Chockfast. It's an epoxy and has some impressive features. I'd...

The only issue with the deadman/strongback/counterweight is that I'm just a hair off the property line, as I was unwilling to give any of my land to the reason I was essentially forced into having to put up the fence in the first place.

Well as far as I know, there shouldn't be any obstacles in the posts, these were just set at the end of July early August, and for the most part have had the domed caps placed on top. Again, nothing has changed in that time, so no buckling or kinking has yet occurred. I guess it is simply...

Ya, it's a residential gate, and I've never in my life had a fence, so I can say that most of the 5 gates are not going to be opening often, but one of them will be at least a few times a week, the oversized pedestrian gate that fits the riding lawn mower. I'm really not looking to remove...

Oh yeah, top left to bottom right is the same as the opposite angle measurements hung or laid down, with and without the lumber. Checked that a few times. But as I mentioned, I can watch the ground contact area and up of the post just bend as I remove the shim I have under the gate, and the...

Bulldog Chain Link Hinges for round posts are an economical alternative to our Pressed Steel ****/Box hinges. Two are required for most single chain link gates, four are required for most double gates. Consider using three Bulldog hinges on gates which are taller than 8' high, or heavy. These...

I honestly don't know how I'd go about measuring it, but the post is a side property line end (90°) and gate post. The adjacent section of fence has very noticeable movement, while the ground below the post does not appear to budge. I guess I'll come up with some kind of Jawhorse and level...

Thanks for asking. Well, I haven't decided that yet. I've been trying to get a hold of the manufacturer to get a better idea of the specifications. It seems that there are a few MTM companies, but they've all told me that isn't theirs? But in my continued search, I've definitely found that...

So I've now looked at blocking hinges, but I'm not sure how to incorporate that? The post is 3" and the gate frame is 2", both round tube. As far as adding materials, that would only be possible above grade. I believe the point of contention to be where the post meets the air? I'll Google the...

Well it has not bent "yet", so that's a plus, but as soon as I release it to the demons it won't take long. Currently the gates are uninstalled. Yes, fence is apparently different, therefore the hope that any true steel inner liner sleeve tube will make a drastic improvement. I'm also hoping...

The city won't allow "any part of a fence" to be above 72" in a residential area, and only up to 8' on property against commercial land. The 2nd post idea has come to me, as I do have a portion of fence between the gate post and the house, and the house side post does sag a little bit less. But...

So I've read another post hear ( "How to stiffen my pole? | The Garage Journal" https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/how-to-stiffen-my-pole.258311/ ) and I'm in a similar situation. The salesman got me, and it truly hurts, as I overkill everything. And I know that it's post flex, as the...

leave it off the charger for a good 24 hours. Attach an old style (non led) light briefly (full intensity for 5 seconds is sufficient) to remove any surface charge. A 12v battery if 100% charged when the voltage is at 12.73 75% 12.4 50% 12.1 30% 11.81 And if you need a replacement battery...

I'm not going to pretend to be "the" guy with answers, but you'll be needing much more than one pipe across the back. I doubt that a single line around the perimeter would do the trick, unless you're south of the Mason Dixon line. Any true winter area will require a series of loops in the pour...

You can often get a local HVAC shop to bend or roll tins custom dimensions. I'd found a commercial kitchen stainless steel slab that was a tad longer than the width of my garage door to wall space, and made a bench to fit there, then cut it down with a 4" grinder. There's a ton of different...

oh no, factory lower pan and wheels, I can't seem to find any off road pneumatic tires that last. Just trimmed the pan 1" or so, for the bottom boxes bottom drawer clearance. Got my edge guard, touch up, and assorted hardware (primarily M8-1.25 nylocks) today, along with a few 1/4 - 20...

Good golly miss Molly, took me darn near a week to browse through the photos and commentary! LOVE IT! Obviously anything new is a Gen 2, recently got my 2nd black 5 drawer. It's funny reading back several years ago, seeing people paint the colors now available, and making a home brew...
