Removable Fence for Remodeling Access
Concealed-flange joist hangers create a section that can be easily lifted in and out.
The best way to access my last kitchen remodel was through a fence panel in the middle of a side yard. I removed the screws that attached the fence-section rails to the posts and added concealed-flange joist hangers to the posts. This allowed us to simply lift that fence section in and out each day for easy access to a yard without a gate.

This is a terrific idea, and I'll definitely be using it on round fence panels that have degraded on round posts!
