Whatever you do, assume that they will fail at some point and need replacing.

12V 1A is just about the most common DC PSU going. So I think your quest is to find one that fits in that outdoor box?

If you're in any doubt then approach it as you would any other potentially dangerous tool. "How safe REALLY is a chainsaw?" If you're sensible with it, you should be fine.

Are they really not rainproof???

If you have the opportunity to try it then surely that's a no-brainer? I know Stihl stuff is aimed at pro's but the batteries are eye-wateringly expensive. One hopes they're very good at that price. I don't see any generic ones on Aliexpress either, unlike other brands.

You've built a hefty-looking door there, should last you decades if you keep on top of the treatment. I do wonder how the previous door got to the state it's in, it looks reasonably well sheltered there.

Are the screws in the hinges secure? Ie with the door open, if you pick it up by the handle, how much play is in it?

That wouldn't require 600 posts on a forum though, so hardly any fun at all.

Don't they lose their leaves over winter in the UK anyway? General approach with things that are "too big to move" is to sever as much of the roots one winter and then move it the next. Be prepared for it to die.

FWIW mine runs for 10 minutes and then another 10 minutes, 90 minutes later. I assume that there's some sort of thermostatic control in here, so would vary by time of year.

I reckon you could glue a batten to the end of the fence panel [eg a tiling batten]. Sit the panel on the batten to keep pressure on it whilst the glue dries. Use the ratchet strap you're going to buy to straighten the fencepost to put a bit more pressure on [but not too much, these panels tend...

It's the brand of beer that Homer Simpson drinks. opps thought it was a fictional beer, it was originally, but now it's available to buy [I've seen it in Lidl].

Ok, not quite what I had picture. The construction methods look good. I would be surprised if the weeds by themselves would cause damp, but is there earth heaped up against it that the weeds are growing in, for example?

Bear in mind he's in the US, they use top-loaders there.

Timber low down rots in particular either because of contact with the ground, or water splashing up. Have you got gutters?

Sorry, all I'm doing is guessing. I don't know this model of washer. The theory of domestic appliance repair is: dismantle it, replace the faulty component and reassemble. Job done. The reality is trickier, you may not have the correct tools, you might break something else whilst dismantling...
