Making a Rolling / Sliding Gate from a Vinyl Railing Kit
Quick overview of how to take a vinyl railing kit from a box store and transform it into a rolling gate for large entrances that aren't suited for swinging gates.

Thanks so much for this. It’s the same railing I’m using and I was struggling to come up with a gate to match. Awesome!
Looks great man! Using the nubs instead of full length pieces is such a smart idea. I will be sharing this video with someone later today!
Thanks for posting this video!! Could you possibly share the link for the product you used for the wheels on the bottom? Thank you!!
Where did you get the rollers on the bottom
Would your 3D printed brackets work on a Deckorators vinyl railing kit from Lowe’s you think? Tried comparing dimensions online but it’s tough. Thanks!

Hard to say, but I bet it's at least close. If it's too big you can always glue in some plastic shims to close the gap. If it's too small you can scale the print slightly bigger then shim the part that attached to the 2x4. Could also redraw to the new dimensions if you know someone that can use SketchUp or some other cad software. Hope it works out!
Curious if you'd ever sell the custom 3D printed parts? I'm looking to build a gate that functions the same way and that component is what I'm struggling to figure out. Let me know if it's something you're open to!

Unfortunately not. I thought about that but just not worth the time. I'd be happy to upload the design to thingiverse, though, then you could have someone else print them out or order them from an online printer.

Is that Home Depot’s “Veranda” railing

Yep, that's the veranda. I like it, still holding up well a year later
Can I purchase those 3d printed latches from you ?

Hi, I'm not planning to print any more of these, but I've posted all the files in Thingiverse so you should be able to get them printed up from someone online. Thanks!
How much would you charge to make me 3 sets of these?

Does everyone have a 3D printer? This looks great, but I do not have the funds to purchase a 3D printer.
