That's some cracking gates you've knocked up I bet she's well chuffed..
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!
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 👍
Plus water, food and a hat, 👍🔨🇮🇪
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.
Unreliable? The person who fitted the post did exactly what was asked of them.
@@bobafetting6373 Correct, but that was after several failed to reply/turn up as I understand it.
Thank you very much
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.
Nice job looking good thanks for sharing 🍺👍
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
Thank you!
I love it how you also talk about the problems and mistakes you face during a job. No job ever goes smooth and perfect like some youtubers try to make people believe, there are always issues to solve.
Thank you
Look great mate. Good job. Nice creative thinking around the issues too.👍
Job well done. Maybe some extra holes in the open postion to keep the gates open when needed ?
The result look really sharp, well done
love the way you spot the problem with the hinges not line up with the post and you managed to find the solution.
Thank you
Looks very good mate. Great problem solving in the end!
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
Nice Job on the Gates!
Great job. You didnt let your issues get you down. Turned out awesome.
Great!! I learn so much with every video!!! Thank you.
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!
Great job but should the M10 coach screw be secured with the nut on the inside of the gate?
Thats what i thought, it would look neater with dome heads on outer side but heads need to locate in squared area.
Job well done and looks nice. Castor wheels on the larger gates would reduce the stress on the hinges,
I'm hoping wheels are not needed 👍
Nice to see how you work through the issues. Great build Keith.
Great job Keith, Also the tradesman made a great job of installing those posts. 👏👏👏👏
Cheers Paul
The post thing is so easily done. Considering the gates were made and then the posts were put in, it all went very smoothly 👍
Nice job
Cracking job, notched timber to use as supports 👍. When i look back at my own attempts at making and installing gates on my property, i wish that i had a time machine to go back and slap myself. Nice garden as well. Thanks Keith.
Thank you
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!!! 👍
PS> don't forget duct tape, a file, big channel lock pliers and a wonder bar (nail puller). Can't tell you how many times I've used those at my sister's house. Maybe I should just give them to her...
Keith, you did an absolute stonking job on this one. Looks great.
Great work Im gonna attempting building my own pergola your video's have been very handy .
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
Thank you Tony
Done well fitting those on your own fella 👍 good work
Thank you
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!
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! 👍
Sterling job Keith👏 and a well explained process.. built to last 💪 cheers rob
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 !
Thank you!
Absolutely spotless work mate. The gates looked absolutely spot on.
Thanks mate
Super job, a great watch 👍🏼
Looks good mate. Well done 👍🇦🇺
Just when everything is going so well something always turns up to frustrate. You got it properly sorted in the end nice job.
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 ☘️
Yes! My thoughts exactly. Thank you very much
Nice looking Gates you done a great job
Thanks mate
A great problem solving exercise and a fantastic job
Great job 👏!!
Cracking job there Keith considering what you had to put up with, the Pedestrian gate looks great as well even with the add ons so to speak. Take Care and Stay Safe.
Barry (the Wirral)
Thank you
liked before even watching thats how you know a good creator! was waiting for this video anxiously!!
Thank you
Looks great Keith, good job!
Thank you
Great looking gates and clever problem solving and fitting. Thanks, as always, for sharing your experiences!
Thanks June
Great job! You missed a belt loop 8:41 😁
Beautiful job. I find the troubleshooting very interesting.
Nice job Keith fitting those gates.Just the size of them fitting on your own is difficult enough but then add wind its another issue.You always find ways and solutions to any problems that arise and crack on.Really look good hung on those timber posts and i like the ironmongery.👍
Really good job
Job Well done! Good video,Thanks
You did a great job on this one mate. Especially liked the angle cut to have somewhere to put the bolt keep, looked great!
Thank you mate
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
Beautiful work, Keith! The gates look great there! 😃
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much!
These look fantastic!
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.
They look great!
Excellent job! Thank you for sharing
Looks great good job 👌🏻
Thank you
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.
Cheers
Good video. Another 20mm hole to hold the gate open may not be a bad idea.
Good idea
@@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.
You may also want to drill the hinges so they can't be lifted off and put a cotter pin through.
You did a great job with the gates :)
Thank you!
Awesome Job. 👌
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.
Thanks! Skin cancer runs in my family too so I'm usually very careful, I always wear a hat and usually lotion 👍
@@RagnBoneBrown Good man yourself. It's only typical that the one day you walk off without it is the day you'd be filming too! I still do it myself from time to time. I should just carry some in my handbag!
Better off wearing a hat, also you need vitamin d from the sun or you'll get sick easier. That's why the flu is only around in the winter
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.
Thanks
‘Left over pizza’? Not something I’ve ever encountered 😂😂
Great job fella 👍👍
🤣👍
The truth is, the pizza place screwed up the order so we got sent a separate one, and we ate most of the spare one too
Nice
Keith Brown: carpenter AND problem solver extraodinaire!
Thank you
Good job👍top hinge post fixing could fit upside down maybe, just for security, nobody will cant lift out🤔
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.
Cheers David, I'm not expecting them to sag
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.
I wondered about this also , would of been a good idea to upturn one hinge on each side to prevent gates being lifted off .
the cover plate for the drop bolt hole will reduce the amount of crap that falls into the hole.
Don’t worry Keith, after becoming a lobster once or twice you’ll learn your lesson! 😂 The hydration is important too, especially when exerting in the sun. Can’t have you passing out on us man! Take care. 👍🏻
Cheers Shannon. Luckily it was my auntie so she kept me fed and watered 👍 should have asked if she had any lotion tho!
For the top of the post attached to the wall I would have made angled cuts to the three sides not against the wall and at the same angle as the cuts of the pyramids on top of the two main posts, just to give a better match while not encouraging water to flow into the wall.
And how about rebating the two mating edges of the main gates so that one gate closes against the other and to block the sightline through. Neater than a cover strip.
nice!

Did u consider just going and getting another post for the wall?
Not sure what you mean?
@@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 👍🏻
You suppose to leave gap between wall and small fence for air flow
Why not add a front overlap peice over that gap.
Add it to the side away from the house?.
Will they need a method of securing them in place when they are open?
a good man!
Nice. Very nice. Missing your old job Keith? I guess not
🤣👌
These "little" problems is what turns a 2 days job in a 6 months job in my world :-)
At 7:10 did you drill through the wood with a masonry bit or did you have to first drill the wood then switch over the bit?
When attaching the fence post to the brick wall, did you use the same drill bit to go through both the timber and the brick?
Yes, an extra long 6mm SDS bit. I think it was 6mm anyway
What hardware did you use for these gates ? And where did you you buy it thanks
A drop bolt not needed for the other gate ?
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 💯% 👍.
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....
Looks great…what kind of pencil are you using
Cheers Rick. Pica, there's a link in the description to my tools if you fancy picking one up
where I can find those hinges. thanks
Great video but for one moment. At 6:49 your finger is a few mm from the blade of your circular saw. That was way too close. Not criticising, just pointing out something you might not be aware you are doing.,
Do you have a link for the hinges?
nooice
White vinegar will help a sun burn.
Putting a post on the house creates issues later on from what I’ve seen. Overall nice job
What are those gates made of polystyrene
I think you’re only saying that bc she didn’t offer you a drink!! Haha but that’s most of the jobs I do, great job tho 👍🏽
Oh she kept me fed and watered! Snickers ice cream and coca cola in fact! 👌
Would a fence arras rail do fr thesmal gate ?
I had the same thought! It'd have been slightly too big though sadly
