O/T: Gates


Recommended Posts

Posted

We seem to have just about every trade represented on here so, does anybody make (or know someone who makes) wooden garden gates?  I need to have two made to order. All I can seem to find is standard sizes. I'd prefer someone local to Central Scotland if  anybody knows anybody.

Seevers will do them as a homer, i would but forget how to use my tools!!!

Easy enough to make tbh,bottom,top and mid rail, 2 braces (diaganol)and fit the planks.

Mind and use crook and band hinges as TEE hinges are guff.

Any more help just ask.

 

(joiner to trade)

PS i have forgotten more than seevers has learnt!!![;)]

Might be a bit far for you but colin robertson timber is who i use all the time and will make whatever you need.

There about 45/60 mins south of edinburgh, can get you the number if you like.

Thanks guys. Seevers - I live in Kincardine. I don't have exact sizes right now, but will measure and PM. I don't know how to send photos by PM, but what I have is:

Back Gate:

You can see the wall to the left is lower than that to the right. The wall to the right is approx 6' high. I'm also looking to get the wall to

the left raised to the same height as the right, the damage repaired, roughcast and capping stones put on

both so if anybody out there can do that then that's another possible homer! Gate would be solid and at least 6' high.

Side Gate:

Again about 6' high.

Under Steps:

My house is kinda wierd in that it has a set of stone steps running up the front and you enter on the top floor. Under the steps is a storage area.

I need a new door for that too. The one that's on it is in a pretty poor state and the frame is pretty shageroonied too..

Probably be a phased approach to this as I doubt I can afford to get it all done at once. Strictly cash in hand.
