We found these brackets at Home Depot.

They are specifically for gates. Worked wonderfully.

Gate latch.

Finished it off with spindles.

We didn't like the look of the side of the deck near the driveway.

We sent Drew under to make some attachments.

Added some blocking boards.

And started covering.

Much better.

Then we added one simple step.

Before we knew it, it was done.

Yahoo, we can relax.

The entire project took us one weekend one evening after work.

We forgot two things.

The grill and the spa. They will need to wait until later.
