I've you've never hung a gate before or very infrequently, it'll allow you to check the height, swing before drilling any holes.

Go on to YouTube ; there’s a video on there

I seen them on Google, Any idea how much they are to buy? Have 15ish gates to hang.

pity you are other side of county idve given you a shot of them.
if you did buy one then you could lend it to others or maybe 2 or 3 of you contribute to it.
try Kiwikit , they are nearer you, see how they compare on price you will get free delivery from them so might work out much and such with gp smart.

Get your struts lower

 

[Ormond]

What thickness of concrete panels have you used for the bridge? Looks a difficult terrain you're working with, good effort

 

[ARW]

You will be banished to the pits of hell with the height of those struts!

Look again, there is an old gang slat in the middle, the rest is steel, brother had bought an old 4 post lorry lift.
It was rated to lift 20 ton and the 2 sections were 27' long so out came the gas axe and we had 4 sections 13'6" spanned it nicely, won't ever have to carry 20 ton!!!

Question, which would make for the better fence, a 180mm well treated green strainer @ £20, or a 150mm creosoted post for roughly the same price?

Creosote for me every time. I've lost all faith in tantalised cr@p.

I've went over to the dark side.....

Tanalised will hold better for the years before it rots, the Creo will last way longer but won't hold quite so well in softer ground.

Made a start on 250m today, cracking day for it

Ground a bit uneven and old fence nearly in ditch so straightening it up a bit
