Best place to buy a new back gate
Just had a quick look online but choice seems pretty limited with most places concentrating on doors.
Where's the best place around here to get one?
Cheers in advance

Already had a look at B&Q mate and it's limited to say the least.
Thanks though

Buy some wood and make your own,will be better than anything you buy ready made and the satisfaction when you walk through it and think I made that is amazing.

You have to fix all brackets on and paint it for extra waterproofing so it's more or less making it yourself.Steve1956 wrote:Buy some wood and make your own,will be better than anything you buy ready made and the satisfaction when you walk through it and think I made that is amazing.

Re: Best place to buy a new back gate
What if your measurements are out and you have a 17 inch gap between the post and the gate...make your own buddy it's quite easy and half the price.Quickenthetempo wrote:You have to fix all brackets on and paint it for extra waterproofing so it's more or less making it yourself.

Re: Best place to buy a new back gate
But I would make the gate to the same measurements I would give to the bloke who puts the gate together, if I made it.Steve1956 wrote:What if your measurements are out and you have a 17 inch gap between the post and the gate...make your own buddy it's quite easy and half the price.

Get yourself to Lamberts for some tongue & groove, some 2x4 and some "capping".
Give them the measurements and they'll cut them to length for you.

Re: Best place to buy a new back gate
I used Ed's Sheds in Nelson and he knocked me up a made to measure one and fitted it.
He did me a bespoke shed too.
All I will say is hes usually quite busy so if its an emergency I'd ring him to see his timescale first.
