Thread: Built a new gate

That's not a gate, you went down to Bunnings and got some Lattas and stuck it up

As well as the lattice, I can see it is a gal frame gate, from the make a gate section at bunnings, good thinking, quick and easy!

Hi John

Steel Frame with mid Section support , Quick + Easy from Bunnings , + Lattice which took no time to cut by hand with handSaw , Screwed on to the Steel Frame , the Hinges welded on to steel Frame , all took may be 2-3 hours , I could have welded up a really heavy Duty Frame Myself , but Bunnings had everything already fabricated, $200 Bucks + My Time to install it.

thanks for your Comments

$200 ouch.......

All for $20 worth of steel and another $20 worth of Hinges and timber.

And it still took 2 to 3 hours, how many beers in that time?

Thats a lot of money that could have been spent on the landy....

Mate having made a few up myself, they are quick and easy,minimal cutting if need be, and the frames are true when you finish.

The Timber Lattice was app $80 the most expensive item, but unfortunately I had to buy the whole sheet and only used 1/2 . I also had all steel ready to be fabricated / welded in garage too .
