Hi All
I need to build a Double Gate at the side of our bungalow which will be supported by 2 posts, one fixed to the bungalow and one fixed to the wall on the other side of the driveway. Taking the posts into consideration their will be an 8ft gap between the posts for the gates and they will be 7ft high.
In your experiences or opinions what would be the best wood to use, they will be looked after well, in that i mean they will be cleaned and treated if needed arround once a year .
Now the tight bit :wink: lol, I am on a budget due to health problems in me not being able to work and not being able to bring any money in, the money i have got for the wood is due to me selling some bits and pieces, and NO Not any parts of my body, mainly because they would be returned and a refund asked for because of the bad state they are in :lol: .
They will take a while for me to build as well because of the way i am, so i need the wood not to move much once i have prepped the various pieces before actually glueing them up because of the time it will take me.
Any ideas or experiences some of you may have after being in the trade or just being good at what you do will be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Dave
