Hello all,
Was wondering if someone could help me on this attempt at repairing a gate to my chain link fence.
Now this gate is fairly big, haven't officially measured it yet, but I think it's at least 8ft across, enough to allow a truck to get through into the back yard.
The top rail on this gate is split/broken/cracked in two places, leaving the gate more like hanging and not being able to support it's own weight.
Now I watched a video before on how to fix a fence top rail where they cut into it on both sides slip in a new piece of top rail and rewire the chain link fencing. But my question is if the top rail only has on side of it crimped or whatever you call it to allow it to just slip the end into the existing rails. Then how do I connect the other side?
Do I have to get something to crimp the existing rail on the other end to allow it to be able to slip into the new top rail?
