That was an awesome fix. Thank you! My ten foot double gate just cracked and broke last night from wind . I just piled bricks inside and outside on ground near bottom to hold shut til I fix it. I'm going to try this but not sure if I'll be able to. I will need to buy a ratchet and that vinyl, glue and screws. Thank you! The bottom metal piece that has a hole for the rod pole is bent and not sure how to bend it back so the pole will line up and fall into the pipe in the ground .
So grateful for this video! I had 2 gates to fix. To replace them would have cost me $500. Instead, after buying the PVC board, glue, and screws, I'm only out $25 instead! I would advise to use painted screw heads just to hide the screws a little more.
I am having this same problem too! But I worry the Stryker plate will eventually get pulled out from the board. Do you think placing the PVC plate on both sides and securing them together would give better strength against wind?
That is fine repair job and I need to find a piece of that textured (over the hole) slat for my fence. What is called and is it a big box store item or will I need to buy a case of them? Thanks.
Hey Jen no this one was at the depot and they usually sell any piece of wood trim in vinyl or PVC. This one probably cost about 18 bucks because I had to buy a seven footer. I hope this helps
Nice job on this repair, our gate got damaged either by wind or neighborhood kids banging through it. Wondering if PVC glue would make a stronger bond between the patch and the post? That's the kind of glue kind that melts the two surfaces into each other so they are physically bonded.
Hey hey. Building material are some of the toughest things to find links for. This was bought at the Home Depot. It was 5 1/2 inches wide, by 3/8 thick and 8 feet long. It was in the garage door weatherstripping section. I hope this help.
I am struggling on knowing what to buy! Can you send exactly what I should get for the type of chaulk and the wood you glued onto it? I couldn’t find the board when I went into store
Hi Colleen. Just use any construction adhesive in the caulk aisle, You could use liquid nails or the generic one which may be a bit cheaper.Also it was not wood that I used but vinyl. Go to the trim aisle and look for the pieces that are PVC/plastic. Mine was 3/8 thick and 5 1/2 inches wide
No Home Depot won’t cut anything but a piece of plywood I believe, you would need to use a Skil saw or maybe someone you know has one that can cut the size you need. Charm goes a long way!
Hey Emily. That would defeat the purpose of DIY. It would be DI wait it would still be you do it yourself it would be do it myself just wouldn’t work. Come on girl you got this.
Hey fix it Nick check out in the PVC aisle at the Home Depot, I know Lowes also sells stuff like this but they should have this piece same piece for about $17. It’s in the trim Aisle.

Awesome idea my friend. Glad the video helped you.
Love how this came out, Dustin!! Just goes to show you don't always have to work harder just smarter like you! : )
Me too kerry! Thank you so much. Who says covering it up is always a bad thing?
That does look very professional! Thank you, for making it look so easy.
Thank you Gary! Sometimes looking professional is enough. 😃 thanks for commenting!

You are awesome Aaron. Thank you so much for sharing :-) enjoy
What a great idea...may try this for myself...thank you 👍
You rock Katie. Thanks so much for watching
Nice repair.... I like the bigger takeaway... Make it look good without spending too much.
Thank you AC. Sometimes a cover-up can be just what you needed :-)
I am having this same problem too! But I worry the Stryker plate will eventually get pulled out from the board. Do you think placing the PVC plate on both sides and securing them together would give better strength against wind?
Awesome idea. Definitely worth a try.

@@homemend That's good news then. Thanks again for both the how-to-fix-it video and the trim information.

That is a wild idea. It sounds pretty hard-core.
Home mender!!!! There are so many fix it channels now..crank them out. People will watch.
Awesome thanks for commenting
Also having a hard time finding this exact pvc trim/plank, any chance you have a link
Hey hey. Building material are some of the toughest things to find links for. This was bought at the Home Depot. It was 5 1/2 inches wide, by 3/8 thick and 8 feet long. It was in the garage door weatherstripping section. I hope this help.
Thank you for the idea! Same problem and dreding the replacment of a full post unti I saw this video.
Yes sir Vito. As long as we can make it look like somebody did it on purpose, the repair will suffice! Thanks so much for sharing
Exactly what I need 2 do!! Thanks 4 the video!!
Question:
What length pan head screw did U use?
Hi Yvonne. These were just long enough to get through the board. I would guess them to be 1 inch
Brilliant! Thanks for making this vid.
Thank you brown rice appreciate the comment
I always learn something from you brother!! 🤘🏽
That is awesome friend thanks so much Mick!

Hey family. It sounds like you know what you need to do, now to make that spot where you move the hinge from look pretty. You got this

I did find Vinyl, but they told me they couldn’t cut it for now. How would I be able to get to cut?

Really nice fix
Thank you Pete now I’m trying to sell them to every house on the block :-)
Great fix !
Thank you Peter. I appreciate the comment
Can't find the pvc sill in Home Depot or Lowes. Is there another name?
Those are the two places, the depot is preferred for me and has never let me down. They also sell it in wood cut by the foot.
Great repair want better then replacing $120 gate. Thx
You are awesome. Thank you.
Thank you for this video
Thank you Locky!
Thank you 👍
Thank you FM!
Exacally what I need to do on my gate, The holes are striped on only one of the gate doors and everything is loose. The fence is not a year old yet.
You got this Kevin.
I wish you could just come fix my gate.
Hey Emily. That would defeat the purpose of DIY. It would be DI wait it would still be you do it yourself it would be do it myself just wouldn’t work. Come on girl you got this.
What time of hinges are those
Hey Venus these are some black decorative hinges something fancy. Check in the PVC Ifence aisle
Black Screws Matter
My OCD would make me do the other latch to make it match.

Hey fix it Nick check out in the PVC aisle at the Home Depot, I know Lowes also sells stuff like this but they should have this piece same piece for about $17. It’s in the trim Aisle.
