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

i was for about 20 seconds, but decided this was going to be the best option really.. its more private and the new tennants wanted it this way.

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.

This looks great. Respect for the hand drawn plans. Is this what you do for a living?

So most of it i just kinda picked up and learnt myself.

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

Your diagnal is on the wrong way.
You drew it right, did it wrong

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.
