Self closing fence gate spring
My little ponderosa...I am building a gate to inhibit dog access to the back
door of my shop. I am looking for a strong spring, reliable, that will close the gate, should my absent minded husband forget to actually close it...(he will) (he was a blonde with large breasts in another life).The gate will probably be about 3 or 3.5 feet high and most likely will be chain link fence, so at least the dogs can see through it. (they are small, so height is not a big issue, a Boston and a little mixed terrier, and my 13yo Rat..she's getting stiff and doesn't jump too much anymore) Perry |

Don't know if that will work for you, but you can take a look. |

I'm sure you could make one rather easily... |

There are also hydraulic closers. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

There are also hydraulic closers. To attach a closer like this to the chain-link fence, you can use a piece of wood or metal (larger than the holes in the fence) with holes drilled to match the holes in the closer, and bolt the closer to the block through the fence. Not pretty, but effective. Got two like this in my yard. FurPaw -- "Don't believe everthing that you think." - Seen on a bumper sticker To reply, unleash the dog |
