Hum...when we put in the spotlight for the flagpole we put it where the gate would slide to...so..that might not be a option for a slideing gate unless we relocate the spotlight. Thank goodness our next door neighbor is a electrician!! I'm trying to get Dan to buy two nice smaller recliners and pitch the green ones in the casita. Hum if I put them in the yard sale he won't have a choice hee-hee-hee. Put stabilizers on all the legs of the dinette chairs so they do not roll across the floor anymore
