LOVE IT!The last time I did what you said with the angle of that eye I ended up bending the threaded metal which lead to a sag. But that was on a giant gate with much more weight. The door is going to be wood because that's the north side. No need for anything clear on that side. I am actually putting the wooden wall up now with that dog ear fencing board. I start at the Hinge and go to the near side, then I start again at the hinge and do the door and the far side. I will go take a picture.View attachment 2359711
I like to start at the hinge so I do not need a rip sawed board near the most delicate point of the wall.I need to make sure the wall does not make the hinge/joints immobile. I only screwed 2 boards on and then realized I was hungry enough for a lunch break.

I am either going to need to rip saw a board which is not easy with this wood due knots causing the wood to break when rip sawed, or have a bit of an over hang which may or may not be a problem. Cross that bridge when I get to it I guess.

Above is a view from the inside, Depending how cold it gets inside I make have to use silicone caulk at the cracks. I am not going to stress it too much because it might not get cold enough for that to matter. Nothing wrong with a little bit of fresh air coming in the cracks and on this vary cold days I can throw an old blanket on the wall to stop any drafts.
I still have a 1 foot gap up top, not hard to fix but I am leaving it open until the day before the first frost. I may discover I need more vents and fans and that gap is where they would go.
This story reminds me of the Dallas zoo watching the lions there musking people. Nothing like a golden shower from messing with the big cats. I guess their ticket price got them a bit extra.I might win a Darwin award if I see a Mountain Lion or some other big cat. My instinct when I see a cat is to pet it. I just love cats of all types and sizes. I was at the Cincinnati Zoo a few years ago and standing next to some glass where there were animals and a large cat walked up to the glass right next to me and I instinctively went to pet it but my hand hit the glass which woke me up back to reality. I swear cats put me in a trance... however I would not start going through someones farm to check out the animals. I live in a city and people just start going through your property thinking its ok as long as they are checking out the animals. They get the chickens all stirred up and then they start flying over fences they normally would not even consider flying over to get away from the people checking them out. I ended up putting up privacy fencing and locks which annoy me because I have to lock and unlock doors/gates just to go from the front yard to the back yard when before I just easily walked. The is something wrong with city folks.
It’s looking really good!The last time I did what you said with the angle of that eye I ended up bending the threaded metal which lead to a sag. But that was on a giant gate with much more weight.
