We have a need to make a gate for the deck on the house we are renting (toddler and dog).
Because of the location of the gate I have been contemplating a sliding gate . . . but don't see any hardware anywhere that is for a small gate. Does anyone here have a direction to point in? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quoted:
gatedepot.com or most hardware stores Not a driveway gate. gatedepot only shows hardware appropriate for a gate to close off your driveway. Think a gate to keep your kid from tumbling down the outside steps. Yes, I will keep looking at hardware stores, but I have yet to run across anything. |

Interesting. I have a raised deck but I don't want the dogs up there, (they can see other dogs to bark at). But I just used a standard swing open gate at the top and bottom of the stairs.
The sliding door would work on the top location for me but not the bottom. Maybe google child safe gates or something similar? |

A gate I could slide would work because it would be out of the way and the other side, up against the house, doesn't have to have a perfect fit. The lock mechanism could be rigged on the other side. |

Maybe use pocket door hardware and track to rig up something.
or use this retractable gate. |
