Next April when you're cruising the fields and chance upto a ewe needing assistance...... but oh no you have no lube

Not to worry just press the valve in for dispensation

Had a good result at the church novelty dog show.

But you will notice that in there is a bottle of dog's "wine"??!

It says that it's an infusion of elderflower, lime flower, ginseng and nettle! Never mind the dogs I think that might get me going in the mornings.

Brilliant idea for a spring gate.

I've got heaps of 'springs' like that (at very reasonable money) for anybody requiring a slightly less powerful gate

approximately 50% less, actually

I'm thinking that gate would have to open away from you as viewed in the picture?

Surely the other way

 

[simmy_bull]

Surely the other way

Yes I would of thought towards you for the spring to have any effect.

 

[Poorbuthappy]

Surely the other way

I was thinking that, but I was trying to get my head round it - if towards you I thought the effect would be to try to bend the tines because of the points of pivot?
Guess it would move either way a short distance?

Hmm, yes I suppose it will move either way, I was looking at the post and the fact that if it went away from you, as you suggested, then the tines would contact the post and then be bent around it?
But looking at it again a bit closer, all the contact points of the spring, in its current position, do suggest that it is pulling the gate towards you, so you are possibly right in saying that it swings away.

Who'd have thought a sprung gate would create such discussion.....

That's my thinking too.
You'd have to be sure the bits of pipe were long enough at the 'hinge end' 'cos if the tines slipped out at 'maximum open position' they'd give you a nasty smack on the shins
