fence panels, 6ft X 6ft = easy enough to grab for 20quid or under from the various major DIY places.... but what about a 6ft tall by 3ft wide panel that we can then add a 6ft tall X 3ft gate to totalling 12ft total width??
any idea on where i can source such a mythical beast? all the 6ft X 3ft ones i've found online are the wrong way round, i.e 3ft tall!
could you not rotate the first 6x6 panel then the second 6x3 would look correct?
Get a 6 by 6 panel, cut it to the size you want, carefully prise apart the bits you need for the new edge and nail them on.
the rotation thing is whats going through my head at the moment but then we'd be stuck with a gate that is panelled in the wrong direction...
possible to cut a 6X6 in half and make a door out of one half? guessing by nailing a bit of wood down the middle and nailing the left anf right halfs then chopping down the middle?
You want something a bit stronger than a wobbly Larch fence panel as a gate. Just buy a slatted gate and cut the panel (do it in the order I described and it won't fall to bits!)
the space is 6 foot, so youll need a post in the middle, so deduct that from the width and allow half an inch deductuion for clearance on gate, why not have a double 3 foot gate, a lap timber gate is as about as secure and robust as a choclolate teapot at a chimps tea party.
true true.
cutting a standard 6X6 panel would be the easiest wouldn't it? few nails, bish bash bosh, jobs a goodun
double gate wont work for our garden unfortunately 🙁 as its being erected (hehe, erected) in front of an old wire thing with concrete posts leaving only a 3ft gap for us to fit a proper gate in front of.
Cut it down.
