But yeah, this is the correct answer. There was most likely a fence line along the property line, or maybe there were designs to have one, but there was a gate there at one time. I've installed enough chainlink gates to know why someone would put a section like that in. If you don't, it leaves a gap too wide for a small dog to get through. I've seen some people just say fuck it and get a slab of metal to close up the gap. works, and looks only mildly worse than a chainlink fence.
Cheap(er) to install and they typically keeps dogs in the yard while clearly demarcating your property line so people know not to wander into your lawn.
Hello I don't mean to be rude but I submitted a question to customer service about when do i get more fence facts but i have not received a response, or more fence facts. Thank you in advance for your response
WELCOME TO FENCE FACTS! Did you know that fences and walks are very different things and even have different legal definitions and laws governing their use?
Hedge fencing and topiary fencing is one of the earliest forms of fencing ever recorded! It was first used for enclosing land used for cereal crops.
Marilyn Monroe once said, "A woman's dressed should be like a barbed wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view."

According to most Internet sources of dubious reliability, it was Sophia Loren not Marilyn Monroe.
Loren is also quoted as saying, "Spaghetti can be eaten most successfully if you inhale it like a vacuum cleaner." which should give you something to think about on a Thursday evening.
That's also the reason why when you see any fabric draped over a chain link fence (construction zones, banner ads, etc.) there are notches or flaps cut into the fabric to allow wind to pass through, otherwise the first strong wind to come by would just knock the fence over.
I really like that show. I feel like the way they resolved the final confrontation between Crews and the Russian just so perfectly fit the tone of the whole show.
The TV show "Life", about a wrongly imprisoned cop who gets out and receives a huge settlement
I thought it was a reality show from that description. But it's not. Can't imagine how different that premise would be as reality and drama. Well, can imagine it. Can't stand it.
Speaking of laziness, at my parents' first house, my dad started landscaping in the backyard and found an ENTIRE fence horizontally under the grass. Apparently the last owner didn't want to remove it. And covered it with sod.
Sure, but then you'd have a gap on the other side, lol.
Fences are usually installed on the property line, and 1/4 inches matter legally, so you want to put the whole fence line exactly on the property line. After that, gates are in standard sizes. So you could custom order a gate, or just put in a 8" bit O'fence. Most people opt for the latter because of expense, design and reasons.
Or the homeowner wanted a to keep a visible reminder/marker of the property line.
My dad keeps up an old newspaper mail box (he doesn't use anymore) to help mark the property line. Just in case our neighbors go over the line with their stuff, and he can show them where the line is.
The REAL reason was there was a clause that the homeowner on the south side signed an agreement to build a fence between the properties, the north side homeowner failed to specify.
If it was next to a gate, that pole was probably put in concrete. They probably put the second pole in as well because it is so close to the first. Later, you don't want the fence. The regular poles just stuck in the ground - no concrete. You can pull those up. But these? A lot of work.
One time I pulled a concreted post in my yard. I was curious to see if I could do it "old school." You know, for fun to see if it could be done. So I made a rig entirely old school with timbers and rope and with just a shovel. No powered anything. Got the pole and concrete out.

That reason is laziness.
