As close to a perfect DIY video as there can be! GREAT job!

I made a small gate for my lovely neighbor out of an old kiddy bed mattress frame I found in the street (ofc I washed it, sanded it, stained it and repeated a couple of times first).
All I need now is to attach some wheels at the bottom to create some support, as it is in two 1.5 meter width parts which are too heavy to just let the hinges take the horizontal weight alone.

This vid really helped with attaching the hinges to the frame element.
TY!

I searched and so far this was the best video! Thank you for such an informative and short video. 🙂

Mate, that’s what I call a clean video! Perfect!

Good explanatory video.

With regards to those rebate bars. These aren't just to stop the gate swinging too far, they also stop anyone peeking through the gap between the gate and the frame, which is an important security feature.

Thanks for the tip at 1:47. Helped me sort out a problem with our gate that had been built by the developers of our estate. All sorted now. Works a dream.

I followed your film and now my gate opens and shuts as good as it's ever done. Thanks

straight forward explanation. Just watch if your path slopes and test the door bottom doesn't ground at the highest part of slope

Thanks for another B&Q great easy video. Off to change hinges for a customer today and just needed to check a couple of things out.

Replace small screws with larger diameter stainless carriage bolts.

Is there any visual plans with measurements to carry this out? Like for instance the frame that you had built as the video starts after it is already in place.

Great video. Perfect and made my job a lot simpler.

Make sure the gate posts are “
PLUMB”, not level...

Hi mate do you HAVE to have wooden battens to fix the gate to or can you just use wall anchors?
thanks
