Well on Sunday while working at Rian's house We discussed the fact that it was very cold in my carport . So on the Monday I collected some second hand gates localy ready to fit them on Tuesday .
Tuesday morning I got a message from Rian to ask what I was doing and did I need a hand He had to go and collect his cutouts from Tonbridge which means passing my house to get there .
This was the temperature in the morning on the way
This picture shows the original wrought iron gates with no protection from the elements
The first thing we needed to do was to replace the damaged kick board .After a discussion we decided to increase the height of the gates by increasing the size of the kick boards
After increasing the height we Hung the gates
Note the tarpaulin to keep the weather out before the gates were fitted
The following day while Rian was stripping his truck .I finnished the gates off and fitted a roof from the carport to above the gates . Then painted them all that's left to do is fit some door furniture . I can now get on with the truck in warmer conditions
The finished gates
