    Horse gates. Never thought of those. Looks fantastic!

    i built decks on the front & back of the house, 6 - 7 years ago. Both need some TLC. This gives me another option to think about.

    The old wood rail was shot. I was going to go back with wood framed hog wire which seem to be popular. Too popular as Tractor Supply was sold out of the hog wire. Decided to look at cow gates for the open feel. Got to the store and the horse gates had the 2x4 wire bottoms perfect for keeping the doggies from diving the 10' down to the patio.

    i would never have thought of using horse gates that way. looks really good!

    i didn't really get to use my balcony (the size of a small deck) this year ... because sitting out there by yourself isn't like sitting out there with people. plus, i'd need to buy some furniture and i wasn't sure how long i'd be here. maybe next summer ...

    Added a 48' light string with 15 2 watt LED edison bulbs. I can call it finished. Time to start the work under the deck over the patio. I have a ceiling fan to hang down there. May look for a large sun sail for over the picnic table.

    Actually got them from Target.com and are listed for commercial use. Got to love directions saying to have a licensed electrician install them. They plug in for christ sake. 15 year warranty for the cord too. Standard socket is nice when the bulbs start to go out.
