I think you mean boredom dopey old fart based.

I would look for another gate, one where both the struts are going from bottom to top as per the following pic. They supply ones like the one in your pic to suit both a left or right hand hanging but they are a compromise.

Pedant of the year and only 6 posts in, well done. :rolleyes: When do technicians and the like state 'this drawing was drawn by an architect'?

What a peculiar statement.

Seeing as these paddles are available they must be replaceable, sadly the video on that page shows a different type of paddle but there might be a video showing these types elsewhere on the web, it does look like they slide to unlock, might need to use more brute force. I think you'll have to...

That's what I'd do.

This, the gate needs reducing in width accordingly.

I have a cheap digital vernier gauge, use it all the time, probably only about £5 off eBay, not incredibly accurate of course but great for measuring bolt diameter, drill bits etc, wouldn't be without it. But if you've never had a need to own such tools up to now then why would you bother?

Now you know what an oil has to go through!

I wouldn't recommend a wall of such slender timbers or even a shed but just goes to show.

I edited my first post, (added the bit about a drip on the wall ties). Looking back at your other thread if this a new extension then where is the cavity insulation? Or is it internal insulation?

I would fit sheathing on the outside only, then a breathable membrane then vertical battens then your cladding (assuming horizontal cladding). The general public underestimate how strong timber is, I once lived in a brand new house of which it's walls were 25×50 studs (end on yes end on) with a...

Is this the Cavity Trays Retrofit one the Type E Cavitray? Guidance is a bit poor IMO, https://cavitytrays.com/product/type-e-cavitray/ from which the sales blurb states: 'The adaptable hinged upstand automatically adjusts to fit the ‘as-found’ cavity width, providing a snug, secure fit.' The...

Are you building the roof with trusses of some kind? If so you can fix a couple of diagonal braces on the top or bottom of the bottom chord (of the trusses).

Sounds like a load of nonsense to me.

Yes just consider your bracing, perhaps consider some diagonal bracing at roof level too and as above some plywood or OSB sheathing on the ends. What's the exposure like, is it exposed particularly or in between say a fence and the house wall?

Your image doesn't work, you can upload an image directly into the thread.

For what? The vertical pipe?

If the opening has been sound with no sign of cracking etc for several years its reasonable to assume whatever beam has been used was suitable.
