An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Yes, its longer than the opening (because the post was not in line with the opening and I didn't want it to swing through the other way), yes, the post is not level, yes, I should probably not have used an existing fence post, no, I will not be fixing it. But look at the fit on the diagonal. MINT
Let me be your new back seat critic... Nice diagonal, it does nothing. To function it would want to be attached rigidly to the other parts but instead its attached to the vertical slats that it's supposed to hold.
But then you added the spring wheel the size of 3" pea gravel. Might as well just screw a 2x4 piece that just drags over the grass.
Finally, hopefully you don't paint it. We all love that 2 year door and fence lifespan. And the following 5 years of slow rot.
LOL looking good man. I should take that on. My side door is practically put together by structural spiderwebs and slime mold.
I don't quite understand if you're attempting to be humorous or not. However, I disagree and most definitely think the diagonal does help the structural integrity so the far top angle doesn't open up.
Well there is one screw from the diagonal to the top. Maybe There's a hidden screw between the diagonal to the bottom piece. Then I would agree.
There is a second pocket hole on the picket side. I wanted to keep it from being twisted.
When the diagonal is mounted snugly like here, the only way for the door to sag, would require the diagonal getting shorter. You are not going to push a solid piece of wood shorter like that. If the diagonal was the other way up, as is often seen, screws would be needed to try to keep it from pulling apart. However, that would not last.
