The paint/moisture thing is really a non-issue with that concrete stuff.
It doesn't soak or warp.


Sounds heavy. Maybe I'll need a more heavy-duty gate roller. But what the
heck - it's for the grandkids. The older of the two (5) is a pretty
amazing artist for her age.


You may not need any roller, since you can use it to square the gate.
We expect pictures of the art, btw. :-)


Dont depend on fiber cement panels or boards to be structural or to aid as
support bracing. It tends to be more of a veneer than anything else. Screw
or nail holes will wollow out in it if there is any stress added.
