So we needed a gate for down the garden but the opening was an unusual size. Which meant Paul had to make it Today he went and bought the wood and set to.
It's such a nice sturdy gate I'm wondering if it's stronger than the back gate !!

and this is where it's to go. It will hide the compost area from the cloisters and also enable us to shut the dogs into this part of the garden if we need to have the back gate open for any length of time or to keep them down with Paul in the potting shed area and not allow them to roam the whole garden trampling on flower beds etc.
This is also the way to the side of the folly and that's the old half gate that's fallen apart and rotted.
This is the gate starting to be fitted in place, it's the pale wooden area in the middle of the photo.
Nearly done.

So all it needs is a latch/handle, not the bolt Paul bought , because as I said if you are being chased by a dinosaur you don't want to come to a locked gate ! Now we probably have a latch handle somewhere in amongst all those things kept /bought for such a time , but will it be found in that safe place or will it not appear until we have given up and bought another ? Only time will tell . . . ..
