Hi All, Update: Gate superstructure is hung and solid. I have a slight issue that I could do with a sense-check. (Old lap is on temporarily) The hinges that I have bought have a small semi-circle on the inside of the hinge that actually stops the gate opening as much as I would like. Would...

Big fan of gabion baskets. This was a temporary install Now planning it's much bigger brother to fill this gap in a single sheet. You can get 12' x 6' sheets of 2" galvanised mesh for £82 Regards Tet

Job is finally finished. I moved away from the side mountedpoint fixings to a side mounted channel. I wholeheartedly recommend FH Brundle - the quality of the kit is outstanding and the advice I received was priceless. All in materials cost was less than £1,100 Regards Tet

I've two of these trays, one white and one slate grey. Do you have a link for the stainless catcher? Slightky funny story - my installer put the wrong colour drain in the showers - they ain't coming out so it looks like a bit of strategical spray paint for me! Regards Tet

The wall is rendered render-board with an air gap over battens and timber frame. The soffit is 18mm ply on C24 6x2 rafters - would make a far superior connection Regards Tet

I'm looking to find a cranked aerial bracket but a simple "L" shape I have a 200mm soffit and a 150mm guttering, so I was wondering whether I could buy just the brackets and an L-shaped support and affix them to the underside of my soffit (18mm ply and I can probably find a joist) Does...

Yep - Got these https://tradefit.uk/products/adjustable-hook-and-band-hinge-set-for-gate-and-garage-doors-black-750mm Regards Tet

I think that I'll go for the no-cost cable support version. I'll post a pic when done Thanks to all for the assists Regards Tet

I may have mis-read the various pieces of advice.... Adding another tensioner bar to the gate would be very pricey (see new sketch), more like £150+. Can I achieve the same result using wire rope. I already have a load of 3mm stainless wire plus all the fittings (though mabe the eyes aren't up...

Thanks for your comments. I attach a more comprehensive sketch. Right-hand post cannot take any lateral load but will have at least two bolts or latches. Left-most 6" post was put in the assist with the lateral load on the central 8" post, braced with 4x2's Weight-wise I think that the gate...

Update: Thanks for the assist so far. Posts are in, timber and hardware acquired. This is the latest: I've blown up the construction for critique. 100mm c24 timber with glued and screwed dado joints to 25mm depth 100mm from the ends to retain the structure of the cross beams I'm absolutely...

Oh - a dilemma indeed Normally, MOT and concrete base would be a no-brainer for precisely the reasons you offer. However - 100m ! I'm not sure it's exactly scalable, but it took me 4 hours to move 6 tons of MOT 20m up my drive Regards Tet

This would indicate 300mm is the alowable minimum... Regards Tet

If I'm reading it right the 600mm is item J that is "From a surface or boundary line FACING a terminal" (my caps) I would infer that, in the circumstance you describe of a terrace house that the boiler flue points effectively down the garden and the flue gases blow across your property when the...

A Dremel would cause a lot less collateral damage than an angle grinder Regards Tet

We have a pedestrian gate on the other side. My idea is to camouflage the gate by making it look from the street that it is a continuous run of log-lap without any gate furniture on show externally The reason I only have six feet is that this is all the access I have to the garden as the shed...

I have an approximate 10' space next to my house. I'd like to have a single 6' gate and a 4' fence to fill this space (pic below). I have some 22mm loglap left over that I would like to face both the gate and the fence with Slight wrinkle is that the lean to you can attached to the right side...
