I can't even remember if I actually explained what it is I'm doing, so let's make this thread even more boring than it already is...
I'm replacing my driveway-to-garden gates.
A normal-sized fence gate is 3ft wide and the fence would normally be in two sections - the 3ft gate and a fixed panel of about 6ft separated by a post.
My previous gate was split into the two sections, but one half was the fixed panel, the other being a folding gate which 'concertinered' inwards making a larger opening space of around 4'6" wide. This was done to enable larger items of furniture to be carried through the gate then through the back patio doors into the back room of the house. These gates were made of trellis and ended up quite dilapidated and shabby, not to mention people could see into the garden, so they needed to be replaced by something more suitable - and more secure.
My new venture is to still have the two equal widths again but this time made of solid exterior 50" fence panels. One of them is fixed and the other I had made into two 25" pieces and my idea is to fix these on the side of the wall post and onto the middle post. These will open outwards like a double door, giving the same space as before. I do have a bit of room to play with because of the moving of the post bracket as I can either cut down the big fixed panel or screw a narrow lat onto one of the other gates. We'll see how this develops. Watch this space for the next gripping instalment
Have you lost the will to live yet, Rachel?

My friends do say I'm not really this boring in real life. Honest!
