gogreengelb Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 was that medium or heavy (coass) size??....it comes up easily, well mine did in the shed ;), i think fine is ok and medium, think i used medium \ have you mentioned how the gate was made ??? \ Hi FB the gravel is the second size up out of three grades.The crewyard gate wood cost 1.40 euro 2pieces one for the uprights and a thinner piece for the horizontals.I drilled 4 small holes in the uprights then rounded off the ends of the horizontals and glued them together with wood glue.For the hinges etc I used fine hard copper wire making 2 hooks and eye,s drilled small holes and stuck the in with glue.for the latch I also used the copper wire just bending it to the shape in neede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The missus is going to kil you when she finds all her clothes in a heap at the bottom of the wardrobe. .. A far better use you have found for them though. Keeping the kids out the orchard is a tough job, creases in clothes? Pah!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
