Well the time has come got to lay some of that wood flooring stuff.

Looks simple.

Any advice from the DIY experts amoung us.

If it is a wrought iron one that simply drops on the hinge brackets, you drill a hole crossways thro the top bracket andput a split pin thro. this will stop the casual thief.

you could also burr over the top bracket (after putting the gate on )just enough to stop the gate lifting off.

If it's a metal one, wire it up to the mains!

For a small fee newly self employed handyman will bring their gleaming new mig welder, and weld a retaining washer on the hinge. Reasonable rates, discount for AN regulars!

I'd weld it (or get Excalibur to ).

 

I do the same to the brackets on my shed - once they're screwed on, just put a tack on the screw head.

It was a T&G timber jobbie nice looking 2 years old, Trogg now has it as Platform ??

 

Last Christmas someone made an attempt to nick my outdoor Christmas lights "Low Voltage"

Did not quite manage the job.

Next night they came back opps 240 volts wired along side, big screem about 2-30am and dark figure running away. "True story" fusebreaker fitted ??

Was it Trogg

 

Never mind the gate what about the flooring
