smallclaas Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 made one gate, not turned out to bad. two words of warning don't use super glue on your gate, it goes off to fast. second one don't come down from loft in just socks, on an aluminium ladder. i found out the hard way. :'( :'( Oh that is painful on the old soles of the feet, tried it once bloody sore. Fence and gates looks bloody good have to copy you soon, very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 my first gate finished very pleased with it, the next two i will leave a bigger gap from post to gate on the hinge side so it opens more than 90 degrees. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich.new holland Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 the detail is the best :o is that gate open all the way in that pic or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 only use hard board white one side, for the ceiling. the floor is 18 mm chip board t&g. going to put a velux in so it says cooler in summer. :) the gate will open just over 90 degrees so about 2 more inches. in that pic. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
