Great job there Keith, you done well to fit those single handed sure. Only suggestion would be to fit a strip on the face of the bolted big gate to overlap and cover the gap where they meet. Oh and I'd reverse the coach bolts through the hinges so the curved bolt head is facing out (but that's personal preference). Another inspiring video from you!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

I can imagine your aunt was over moon with those gates Keith because they are beautifully built and hung plus they look fantastic mate. A job well done 👍🏻👍🏻

[@pteddie6965]

Great looking gates, Keith. I love how they look and I love (as always) watching you problem solve as you progress through the build. Thanks for the video.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@johncochrane2707]

In spite of the unreliable tradesmen, wind and alignment hassles you've done a fantatstic job there keith. Hope the sunburn isn't too bad.

[@bobafetting6373]

Unreliable? The person who fitted the post did exactly what was asked of them.

[@johncochrane2707]

@@bobafetting6373 Correct, but that was after several failed to reply/turn up as I understand it.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you very much

[@bigbunnyprojects10]

Very nice job. I just moved from a property with large gates like these and oak posts. I fitted jockey wheel supports to the gates because over time the sagging caused the oak posts to twist. Without them I would have eventually had to replace the oak posts. Obviously a big and expensive job.

[@TheWebstaff]

That's some cracking gates you've knocked up I bet she's well chuffed..

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Nice job all round and ingenious way to deal with the hinge. I'm about to build a pair of French window shutters and will use this as a starting point so cheers!

[@offcuts4146]

I made some really big gates on my drive 8ft high opening 3.2m wide. I made my own drop bolts. I used metal 32mm hand rails from the metal store. If the wind is too strong i would definitely recoment that. They have brackets that you can screw into the gate rails going across and just slide rhe bar through it

[@felixreali7101]

Keith, you did an absolute stonking job on this one. Looks great.

[@tonydart425]

Kieth can I give you a tip: Keep a bottle of sunscreen in your vehicle. I have two in my van one in the front and the other on a shelf in the back, That way I'm always protected and with the weather we have had lately its been a godsend on site with even a couple of the chaps asking to borrow.

[@dougsaunders8109]

The post thing is so easily done. Considering the gates were made and then the posts were put in, it all went very smoothly 👍

[@BischBaschBosch]

Look great mate. Good job. Nice creative thinking around the issues too.👍

[@kuwaitish]

Job well done. Maybe some extra holes in the open postion to keep the gates open when needed ?

[@garrypalmer5014]

Keep small bottle of sun cream in your tool box and van, always have it all the time for when you need it, gates look great 👍

[@TheToolnut]

Plus water, food and a hat, 👍🔨🇮🇪

[@robanderson240971]

I would put a trim over the gap on the floor bolted gate to hide people seeing through and it will also act as a door stop for the other gate.

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice job looking good thanks for sharing 🍺👍

[@kz.irudimen]

The result look really sharp, well done

Great job Keith, my heart skipped a beat for you when you were checking the newly installed gate posts. Ten out of ten for overcoming all those problems. Tony

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you Tony

They look great Keith, well done great project ! It's so frustrating when you make a spur of the moment choice and it ends up causing you more work, but moving the hinge was the logical and neatest fix. Best laid plans , there's always something ! So pleased that everything worked out well with the tradesman in the end ! I'm sure your Aunt is delighted !

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@accessfm]

Hi Keith, that is a great job you did there. Fair dues on waiting for someone to do the posts right, before you installed. Those weak posts were a pain the last time you did a set of driveway gates like you said yourself. Loving all the content you are producing and loving the podcast too. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Ireland ☘️

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Thank you very much

The new gates look great!!! I'm sure your Auntie is pleased. 😊 My Auntie was a wonderful lady. Miss her. OK now, please go review your travel tool kit and add/update it. I keep a full toolbag in each of my vehicles, just cheap tools really, but servicable and complete, because I never know if the family member I'm visiting needs a little thing fixed, and they never seem to have even the most basic tools!!! 👍

[@chrisnorton2837]

[@kendellvinot3717]

Great!! I learn so much with every video!!! Thank you.

[@stevewoodw]

Good video. Another 20mm hole to hold the gate open may not be a bad idea.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Good idea

[@stevewoodw]

@@RagnBoneBrown As far as getting the gap between the gates goes, if you were to keep only the top hinge in place, remove the bolts from the bottom two and use a drill to increase the size of the holes the bolts go through, you can give your gate a bit more movement. Making the holes a couple of mm bigger may be sufficient to allow the gap to be reduced to a point it's exactly the same from top to bottom. You could to the bottom hinge first and then see if the middle one needs to be drilled. You may only need to do one side if they aren't plum.

[@stevewoodw]

You may also want to drill the hinges so they can't be lifted off and put a cotter pin through.

[@TheWardagh]

Super job, a great watch 👍🏼

[@glueupsscrewups]

Beautiful job. I find the troubleshooting very interesting.

[@Professional_Youtube_Commenter]

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@oskarsmillers]

Good job👍top hinge post fixing could fit upside down maybe, just for security, nobody will cant lift out🤔

[@DavidOwen1978]

Great job but should the M10 coach screw be secured with the nut on the inside of the gate?

[@gkinlen]

Thats what i thought, it would look neater with dome heads on outer side but heads need to locate in squared area.

[@gryffindork9563]

Looks great good job 👌🏻

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@benrichards3228]

Great video as always, I am surprised however though that the coach bolt end you used was facing internally where as I would normally have the nut and a washer on the back, giving a nice flush view externally.

[@daveduncan9005]

Another routine 'nicely done, Keith' project with excellent results. My only question is why did you put the nuts for the coach bolts on the front of the gate? Would it not be preferred to have the nut on the rear so as to help protect against someone removing the nuts on purpose? And with the head of the bolt on the front, it might make for a cleaner look.

[@daveangel4081]

I wondered about this also , would of been a good idea to upturn one hinge on each side to prevent gates being lifted off .

[@TheNaturalWorkshop]

You did a great job on this one mate. Especially liked the angle cut to have somewhere to put the bolt keep, looked great!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you mate

[@markhedquist9597]

I like your channel for many reasons. Mainly for the mild mannered way you work. You seem at ease with most everything. It's a relaxing way to work and something I aspire to. Sometimes the chaos of a job really gets to me and I long for a more peaceful experience. That being said, another reason I like your channel is a little sadder. The fact you shared with us about your lovely kitty kat passing really touched me. I'm still sorry about your loss. I recently rescued a kitty and it has changed my life. I've never had a pet of my own and I don't know why I waited so long (I'm 54 yrs. old). I say "never had a pet of my own", but the fact is she chose me (the kitty). She needed a human and came to me. Anyway... Nice job on the gates. They can be tough. Lucky the fella who set the posts did a good job. When I set posts I pretty much go crazy with bracing and actually use "spacer boards" between the posts to get them exact. You have one chance to get them right! Thanks for the video!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you very much! We have a new cat in our lives now. I will introduce him at some point. That's a great idea using spacers to fit the posts, I'm not sure I'd have thought of that! 👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

[@bobafetting6373]

Great job. Maybe worth considering another drop bolt on the second main gate - would help with the wind rather than straining against the deadbolts, but also mean the gates can be safely secured when open when needed.

Hey Keith, you might want to consider installing some “gate wheels” to stop the centre of the gates sagging. You can get them with adjustable spring tension too.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers David, I'm not expecting them to sag

[@MrBiggybit]

Beautiful - one thought, those gates will weigh those post but you could add a wheel on the inside bottom, just to let it ride on the ground and lift up that pressure a bit In my experience, those wheels stink BUT super helpful taking the weight off

[@bluecurlygirl]

Such a great job and well done getting around the issue with the pedestrian gate. You should be wearing sunscreen 365 days a year. If there's daylight, wear sunscreen. Unless you're staying in a room with curtains/blinds closed and no sunlight at all. At the age of 50 all my years of sunbathing with no sunscreen caught up with me and the left hand side of my face dropped as if I had a stroke. Scared the living daylights out of me. For the last 2+years it's the last step of my morning skincare. My dad just had the top of his ear cut off with skin cancer so that's made me more vigilant again. A lot of us forget to put sunscreen all around our ears too (and the skin behind the ear). And if you have thin hair get a sunscreen for your scalp. Thyroid issues, thin hair I have burnt my scalp on numerous occasions and it's bloody sore.

@@RagnBoneBrown just with cutting the post short to line up with the render and then realising you couldn’t fit the lower hinge where you wanted. Your workaround was great but I just wondered if you considered removing that post and getting another post and cutting it for the full length to the ground so that you could fit the hinge where you originally wanted to etc. Obviously you could have packed behind the base of the post to fill the void between the render and the brickwork. In any case, the gates look absolutely brilliant 👍🏻

Nice job on the gate's overall Keith but just wondering why you didn't install the new wood posts for the project yourself?. The only thing I would have done different is to add a long wood strip upon the outside of the main gate's just simply to hide the gap and stop any nosey folk from looking into the property etc, personally I think it just gives a finished look overall. Keith on a different note what do you think about the Mirka sander? I do recall from a past video that you and Leo from Liverpool wasn't very happy overall and had a trip around Mirka UK. I just wanted to ask what you thought about it now regardless of the Mirka tour etc reason for asking you is I've been thinking of buying the Mirka Deros model and selling my new Mirka air fed sander, purchased without thinking 🤔. As always buddy 💯% 👍.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers, I'm not an expert when it comes to concreting etc. While I'd tackle it if it was at my home, I'm not confident enough to do it to someone else's. I am now on my second Mirka Deros, I bought a new one when the 3 year warranty expired on the first one, and sold the original on eBay. It's been fine, no issues as yet. Still a great sander, but still worried about how reliable it is....
