Hi Juliet🖐It's a nice simply built gate, that's for sure👍The gate latch was supplied by the customer, so I'm presuming that's what they wanted🤔As you mention though, I think it would become irritating very quickly, not being able to open it from the front😶Thanks for watching and your comment 😎 Cheers Del

Hi Arthur🖐I'm glad you find my videos interesting 😀 and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

Cheers John🤩Have a nice weekend 😎

Hi there🖐I actually looked forward to building this gate, (and one other), as its not particularly technical and you get visible results fast which customers love🤩Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

Thank you Teddy Boy🤩

Cheers John🤗Thanks for watching

Yes me too! Great tip

Hi there🖐Yeah, they just help pull the boards up tight as some can be a little bowed😉Thanks for your comment😎Cheers Del

Cheers Iain👍

Cheers Daniel🤩Thanks for watching 😎

Thank you Vianka🤩

Thanks for your great comment David🤩Cheers Del

Thanks for watching Robert🫡and your nice comment🤩Cheers Del

Hi OSC🖐I did think about how the rails lined up with the ones on the fence🤔but the thought left my head as quickly as it entered it😆Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers

It gets like that at our age mate 👍🏻 It’s a ‘ask the customer’ thing anyways, and then you can’t get a straight answer out them! Do you want it like this or that?! Waste 20 minutes and get ‘I’ll just trust your judgment… you’re the expert!’ 🙄😂

@@Dazza19746 You're really showing your experience with that comment bud😆Happens all the time😉

Hi there🖐Oh yeah, sometimes you've got to let your eye be your guide🤓I didnt even check the screws, but I'm pretty sure the builder supplied what I asked for. (stainless steel usually come in a blue box from Screwfix👍) Thanks for watching and have a nice weekend😎Cheers Del

They were Express Nails Matt👊Cheers Del

Hi there🖐As usual, the builder wanted it QUICK and CHEAP🤠Great to have you watching from down under😎Cheers Del

👍😎

Hi Martin🖐Those straps were super cheap RAC ones, (hence the orange colour) from B&M👍I wouldn't strap something to my roof rack with them and drive over 100mph with them😵but for little clamping/strapping jobs, they are perfect👊Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter Perfect, thanks Del.👍 I'll get down to my local store and pick some up I - no excuses not to build then😉. Have a good weekend.

@@MB-qc4nj Hope you have a productive weekend too👊

Hi there🖐My experience of this is that, if the wood has come straight from the timber yard, then it will DEFINITELY shrink and leave about a 5/6mm gap👍I don't use any glue on these gates, because as stated above, the wood moves too much for it to be effective👍Hope this helps🤞Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter thank you - appreciate the advice

Hi there🖐Its a really good saw for this kind of job👊 Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del

Hi Doug🖐I have a set of gates made the same as this on my own property which are now 16 years old and they are still rock solid👊(albeit a bit faded😬)Thanks for your comment and have a nice weekend😎Cheers

@@thetallcarpenter thanks Del, you too

The diagonal braces must always go at an upward angle from the edge, the hinges are fitted. The idea of this is to help prevent the gate from sagging on the latch side. I sure Del will answer you soon confirming this.

Hi Dave🖐See Kevin's answer to your question as its spot on👊Thanks for watching 😎 Cheers Del

Cheers for adding this in Kevin🤩

Thanks for watching Garviel 👍

Hi there🖐The timber fixed to the wall is 4x2 and I think this would also be fine fixed to a concrete post👍Cheers Del

🤗😎

Hi CH🖐Good job on your gate bud, and I can only think that your top hinge needs to be set further in on the mounting post as there must be some play/slack in the hinges🤔Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter i may get some normal gate hinges, all seems level and stright, bugging me lol cheers

Hi Simon🖐Tricky question to answer really without seeing the wall😬Cheers Del

Hi FD🖐They are called Express Nails and you just drill an 8mm hole and hammer them in💪They give a great hold in solid masonry, but you'd never undo them🤔Cheers Del

So I’ve just got to be sure it’s exactly where I want it lol 😂. Thanks Del, super vide as usual 👍

@@fuzzyduc3222 Oh yeah FD, there's no going back once you've set them in😬(measure twice, fix once!!)

@@thetallcarpenter would you use them to fix plate to slab? they seem quite cheap and fast

@@Foz1 I don't see why not Tom as they really hold well💪you just can't get the out once you've hammered them in😬

Hi CH🖐 I cut the Cross braces about 20mm shorter than the opening and kept the first board about flush and then cut the last board about 10mm back👍It worked out OK with 150mm wide boards, but if the opening was any smaller I would have taken some of both edges👊Thanks for your comment 😎 Cheers Del

They were 5x40mm screws👍

Hi there🖐I've done a little decking video which might be of interest👍kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orB2bNGTy9_Jo3k.html

Cheers, u do good ones, a week with u, u would learn a lot lol

I use them for loads of clamping duties JRS💪 (plus they are pretty good for lashing stuff on the roof rack😉) Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter They take up much less room too. Excellent tip Del 👍

@@jrsuk1170 👊😎

Hi Heiko🖐You can only open the gate from the back, which, I assume, is as the customer wanted and for added security🤔Thanks for watching from Estonia🤩Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter ok i see. How long have you been using this particular Makita DHS680? Btw i just checked your 660 and 680 comparison aswell.

@@heikolind9710 I think I've had the 680 for a couple of years now, and its been a great bit of kit👍

@@thetallcarpenter Are you using original blade, which in included already? Is it making nice cuts?

@@heikolind9710 I can't remember which blade I'm using bud🤔It's either Frued or DeWalt👍

Thanks for watching Paddy🤩

Cheers Peter😎Thanks for watching

Hi Dennis🖐I made it 35 years ago from a scrap peice of 50mm gas main pipe👍Cheers Del

If you're referring to the Express Nails Martin, I'm not sure, but I know they came in different diameters and lengths👍Cheers Del

Hi there🖐 The 6x1 was 1.8m long and I used 7 to get the gate 1050mm wide👍I used 35mm screws👊Cheers Del

Hi there🖐 One post was already concreted into the ground, and I just used a straight edge along the side of the brickwork to see how far back it is, and then fix the wall post accordingly👊Cheers Del

Hi Tom🖐I did get the hinges for the last set of gates I made, and they were MASSIVE👊and I did offer to get them for this set, but they had already been supplied😶Hope you are well, and thanks for watching 😎 Cheers

@@thetallcarpenter haha, I once had a couple supply me with a lock for the outside door, they forgot to mention that it was a bathroom lock... (they thought the other locks were overpriced). Here all well, busy finishing the last shed for the year since the rain season is coming, been a bit behind on your channel but saw a nice stair video which is an upcoming project for me as well. Hope you are well as well ;)

@@Rompestromper 👍😎

Youll never believe me B Dizzle, but those were the lengths the guys at my, excellent, local timber merchant brought out for me to load onto the van🤯I'm really lucky to have such a great timber supplier right on my door step that only stocks quality material👊Great comment and thanks for watching🤩Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter That's because you always put there timber to great use being the top chippy you are Del. 👍👍

@@amazing451 Oh stop it Kevin😍

👍😎

I know Karl🤔I was told not to bring them onto a Kier job at least 15 years ago as they were scared I was going to use them to stand🤯Have a good weekend bud😎Cheers

Hi there🖐That's a pretty cool and much appreciated comment bud🤗I've always tried to find the balance between pace and quality, and definitely like to think that I make a good job whilst getting a reasonable amount done👍Thanks for watching and your great comment 😎 Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter keep up the good work I know these videos sometimes may be a hassle to make ect but I've not seen any bad comments about any of your work. Just jealous if that's the case!

@@thebonkarsgamer449 I am VERY lucky to get, nearly all, positive comments on my videos, and I think that is a reflection on the type and caliber of my veiwers😉I think I've only deleted 3 comments in nearly 2 years, as they were completely unnecessary😬 Thanks again👍

Hi there🖐I always try and do the best job I can first time round so future issues can be kept to a minimum👍Thanks for your comment and for watching😎Cheers Del

😶😉

Hi Sean🖐I've already got a few air wedges and I'd be lost without them😵‍💫As you hint, should have got them out for hanging this gate🙄Cheers Del

Hi there🖐I used 4x40 screws👍Cheers Del

@@thetallcarpenter Thank you for the reply 😁

That's gonna be a bit of a shock for you Steve😵Hope you had a great time though mate👍Thanks for watching😎Cheers Del
