I'm running about 35' of fence between my garage and the corner of a shed. I want to keep the dogs in the back yard. They can't (or won't) go behind the shed, there's a radio fence back there. The ground slopes at a pretty good rate between the garage and the shed. I was thinking about a double gate but don't know about it being on the incline. The only way I see it working is if the uphill half of the gate is offset higher, and I think that would look dumb. Although if the rest of the panels are hung level but stepped down the slope, that would match. The other issue would be the downhill half would have to be hung high enough on the post to allow the gate to close. So, any suggestions? Do I even need a double gate? I only have to get my riding mower back there on a regular basis, everything else I could clear a lot of the brush away and take big equipment around the back of the shed. I also wanted a way to have a lock on one half of the gate that pushes a pin or something down into the ground. I was thinking of pouring concrete ther but I imagine a hole in it would get filled in with dirt, etc.
