A couple of weeks ago my dad's neighbour was trying to find a garden gate to replace an old one in her new house, however because of the existance of a very wide cement path and some pet dogs it needed to be a bit bigger than usual.
As she'd had no luck finding a suitable item my dad suggested that I make one to fit for her, which I did. He stuck a large post in the ground earlier in the week which is why we found oursleves up to our necks in rain fitting the gate into place.
Fortunately it went quite smoothly, due the gates width and hefty weight I'd opted to add a sprung wheel to the opening end to help stop the gate sagging on the hinges and this was confounded a little by the uneven cement path.
Bring on a big hammer and some agression and the path suddenly found itself smoother and flatter and all became well.
