FG12 who actually writes these?
Where in these recommendations dose it require that a gates should be hung?
Would it be permitted to secure my gate off of the ground, onto the posts with baler twine?
Whoever has written these requirements has gone into great detail about how to build your own gate. Digging holes, sizes, filling with concrete, or to tamp the soil compacted in 150mm layers, and how to install "wings"
No mention of whatsoever of bashing posts in, by use of a machine which I'm guessing is the chosen method by 99% of contractors/farmers.
No mention of the current BRITISH STANDARD
BS 5709:2018 Gaps, gates and stiles. Specification.
Furthermore they are insisting on turning down box struts even if they 100% comply with their own FG1 & FG2 stipulations along with the BRITISH STANDARD BS 1722 -2 :2020
(Which we all have to hand, right?!)
Common sense has completely gone out of the window! Does anyone have a number for someone at DEFRA or the RPA who knows what there talking about, so I may ask these questions myself?
