Another fence post hose mod
After seeing the fencepost mods on this forum , I came up with my own version , This is a drawer front approach attaching the top cap to the end.
Cut a piece of 3//4" red oak for the front end cap the same size as the inside diameter of the post ,I then added a slight bevel to all 4 sides . this will help guide it into the post.
I used a 3" piece of scrap vinle post to keep the spacing correct wile attaching the front end cap to the wood post plug using 2 screws, and also use the same scrap to alien the tray gutter assembly to the front cap. pre drilled and attached with 2 screws
I used lath screws to attached the wood spacers to the gutter , only on the angel sides , these screws work well because of there low profile head . and the tray gutter assembly slides in and out smoothly
added a plastic handle
drilled a hole into the end cap thru the post and into the wood front cap
used a long nail as a pin and a piece of chain as a lanyard .
made hanging bracket from steel and painted black.
attached to trailer frame with self taping hex bolts.
The rain gutter and 5x5 post came from LOWES ( I had to order the post) and some hardware came from Home depot.
all questions/comments are welcome .thanks for viewing
