Nice work!!

Were you not tempted to leave gaps in the slats on the gate to match the party fence?

Definitely. Would be so cool probably requires a lot of support stuff added though.

Have you isolated/insulated the side of the garage from Te soil?

Yes, there is a void about 3" wide.. You can see in the earlier pics the gap.. Its like this all the way down. Just right at the top there is a cover on it so i can turf over it.

It shouldnt cause a problem.

I have to admire your plans. I get a bit anal when it comes to building stuff

Recent drawings I did for sizing a driveway gate. A bit over the top I think now looking back at it

Never even noticed that until now

Was good enough to get me the right amount of material and overall size, spacing, etc. It's got a wheel on it now too which is dead handy and takes some strain off the uprights.

If its got a wheel on it wont matter too much but really you need to swap it round so the bottom hinge takes the weight.
