Hello,
My next project is to reposition the gate in my front garden.
This gate is not the by the foot path, its by the gable side of the house, and allows access to my rear garden.
I wish to reposotion it so that i could fit a larger size car directly on my driveway in the front garden hence would need to set the gate back further by about 1 meter.
The concern i have is if i move it to the new proposed location, it would be mean that one of the front wheels of a vehicle would most definatley sit on a manhole cover.
Im unsure if this is safe over the long run, i know some manhole covers promise 5 tonne and over strength capacity but as its not something ive done before im not sure if it would hold over the years?
Would welcome your advice please
