Re: Another fence post hose mod

Maybe there just available in certain parts of US. Austin,TX is a reasonable-size city, but none of the local Home Depot/Lowe's seemed to stock the fence post. I ordered on-line from Home Depot with "ship to store" option for no shipping charge; picked up when notified by email...Lowe's DID stock the symmetrical gutter for my "drawer". This is what I had to do, I ordered the Fence post and the end caps from Lowes website, had it shipped to the local store , and picked it up there, no shipping charges, I did have to pay local sales tax, It took a little over a week to receive it. You can have it shipped to your home but you will have to pay shipping.418Views0likes0CommentsAnother 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 viewing6.2KViews0likes12Comments
