Hello strangers :)
I've finally begun work on the plethora of small things to be done on my new house.
Safety first.. the picket gate that opens directly onto a very busy rd is just about on it's last legs. I have to keep the dog and cat safe!
It's frame is 1400 high and 950 wide. (it's actually imperially measured so It must be at least 40 years old)
It was built of pine and rotting all over.
Sooo Liam and I decided the best thing to do was to make an exact copy before it finally falls over.
We've built the frame out of ash so it's going to be a little heavier than the old one.
I'm wondering how you choose the correct hinges. assuming the ones on the old gate are the right sort and size, do I use the same ones (but new) or do I need to get longer (heavier) ones to take the extra weight?
these sort
