I know my 5 bar farm gates drop due to weight and settlement, I would put a wheel on the new big gate to support it and so you don’t need to come back and adjust. Another great video Steve👍
@UnjustifiedRecs Given that most wheels are sprung loaded for uneven ground how would that stop the gate from dropping?. If they fit an unsprung wheel then the ground needs to be perfectly level which I doubt it would be. Same with adjustbale hinges, they don't prevent a gate from dropping, just allow you to adjust the gap/joint.
Concreting clearly not your thing, the brushing was comical 😂 Don't attach the fence to the post as the fence will pull on the post as it expands and contracts. The hinges won't last, they are not man enough. Sorry for the negative I put a 14ft iroko gate meeting with a 4ft once, installed them on 8x8 oak 4 ft in the ground, 6 years on and they haven't needed adjusting, bloody amazing, i didn't think they wouldn't drop. Big gates, oak posts are the key.
I would definitely have made two new gates of equal length, not only would it look better with even size gates but would have been less strain on posts and hinges.. those T hinges are nowhere near strong enough for that gate.. just my tuppence worth.
Hi stevie and Scott great gate but I would of done 2 new ones so they met in centre also is the customer changing the feather edge gate to match the tounge and groove gate also the little gate and panel looks great stay safe all and keep smashing these videos out
They definitely have the capacity to have a sliding gate in there. That would have been my recommendation to them personally as its space saving and can be motorised in future if they choose to.
Great jobs again, but i would go back and put a wheel on that massive gate for support. In time that gate will come away from that big wooden post, the hinges don't seem heavy duty enough to support the gate long term but you may get away with it if the wheel was fitted 👍
The wide gate will drop and even if you fit a wheel to help it that won't prevent it from dropping. If you're going to make a gate that wide then the braces are critical. A brace should be housed into the top and middle rails but also only needs to extend no further than the mid point of the width of the gate, the rest of the gate that extends past the brace is supported by the brace. Just my opinion as a Joiner of some 35yrts+ I can see issues with that gate.
Great job guys.. I do think you will have problems with that big gate. We use steel frames on anything over a 5’ leaf. I would have at least split the difference with the gates. Hopefully there won’t be a callback for a sagging gate
Tip for you - use a couple of shovels lying on the ground just under bottom of gate, then you can simply use you foot on the shaft to press down and get the gate height bang on!
Fair Play Stevie, you always do a 100% job. No matter how big or too small, the job & the Customer gets 100% D&J Quality Customer Service & Satisfaction ❤
Always appreciate seeing string lines, levels and having an explanation on how jobs are done so a big thanks to Stevie as he always makes sure to show us. Excellent couple of instals 👍
Oh Stevie, I do hope we are not going to see you back there, in the future, sorting out a dropped gate.🙏🏻 I feel that it needs metal frame support, and maybe a wheel if the path levels work for that. I really really hope that I am wrong.
Am i right in thinking gate bracing should be 45 degrees or less otherwise the bracing doesn’t do its job properly? So the first gates, the bracing is well iver 45 degrees
Great vid as always Stevie, just a quick FYI for when you are fitting gates in future, you can get a tool for supporting the weight of the door or gate. I know Screwfix do them they’re not expensive, I’ve used them in the past makes it way easier to hang most doors and gates. Check it out, cheers bud. 👍
I use wooden wedges for doing my ground clearance.put them on top of each other as if to make a block and the more you pull apart the less the clearance or slide them further on top of each other to make the clearance more
Great video, for me I always try to do my gates 50/50 cosmetically looks better, the t hinges are definitely not strong enough for a 3m gate I would have used much stronger hinge type, but that's my preference Keep up the great content lads ❤
Another great job done but I think you should have cut down the kerb at the side of the path just to let the rain water flow off and I would put a wheel on the end of the gate to stop it dropping keep up the good work looking forward to the next one.
Been watching now for a while , You are great so much pride in your work But when kneeling down take it from me wear knee pads , Started work at 16 , Now 58 and can hardle walk Great job
Nice video stevie ,and a great job done stevie and scott on the big gate project, looking smart,and the concreting finishes the yard of to a tidy completion. Have a great week all of you.
You maybe going back with that gate but that’s how we all learn 😂 also stevie we see you drop some more gravel and blocks in the hole so you don’t have to use anymore concrete 😂😂😂 and next time you do concreting lift the mesh up into the concrete 😊😊😊 P.S Dave when reading this no removing us 😂😂😂😂
did a fencing job this Sunday just gone didn't even get offered a cuppa was fuming lol very nice customers looking after hard working lads looks good guys keep up the good work and videos
Great job but as a joiner looking at both the first gates that were fitted and the new larger gate it’s a real shame that the diagonal bracing was done wrong. Installing a brace into the corners of the bottom rail and style and top rail and opposite style can, over time, push the joints apart.The brace should not touch the styles but be fitted into just the bottom and top rails. Also the angle of the brace is important. Especially on the new bug gate, it’s too shallow an angle, it’s not transferring the weight properly. It’s all relying on those tiny hinges. The brace doesn’t have to go corner to corner. It also looks better and importantly is more affective at transferring to loadings if the angle is no more than 45degrees, so as you make the gate wider because the brace the still inserts into the top rail and doesn’t need to lay down more and increase in its length to reach the corner, it still supports the gate. Making the brace rail longer does nothing. Think of holding a bucket of water in your hand with arm stretched out, you can hold more if you bend the elbow and hold it at no more than 45 degrees. And please fit a wheel on the big gate.
Definitely needs a wheel. Those hinges look way to light as well, and the concrete job was a bit sketchy. One of those jobs they could make a lot better for a little more investment and knowledge. Hope they learn and improve.
@@paulwood7931 Ran a successful landscaping business for 12 years. Built a gate like this once, early on in my career. Drove past it a few weeks later, next day went and fitted a wheel. Lesson learned.
Amazing job! enjoyed this video, defffo subbed and liked! Shout out to your customer as well! Nothing better than foodand brews to help with work. Well done lads
Jeez...this will look all over the place in a year or 2. Wooden post wont stay straight..those z braces at that angle should be notched into the middle rail..those hinges are a joke on that gate..wow.
Few little tips…. That big gate will sag. Hinges should of been band & gudgeons with wheel underneath to support. Hinges have to cover at least 1/3 of a gate. Could of also added a true latch telescopic gate brace to add extra tension support. Instead of putting numerous screw holes into a new timber post adjusting gates why not just get yourself some adjustable air wedge bags. Get that gate in position so your screw holes are right first time. When digging fence post holes instead of leaving all your rubble on the ground in a pile and then shovelling it up put it straight into gorilla buckets. Manage the load. 👍🏻
Good gob lads! Only thing I'd add is a wheel on that big gate, just to stop them hinges having a hard time - guarantees a level gate every time as they're adjustable
Gate turned out well, you can always stick a wheel on it in future if it sags a little. I would have fabricated a 40x40 SHS metal frame for the 3M gate section - anything over 2M wide, I fabricate metal frames for the gates and use 100 x 100 steel posts. Turned out well though !
That’s slag from burning furnace back in day most probably power station it’s like glass but million times harder I used be a land driller horrible stuff to get through 👍🏻👍🏻
Very neat and tidy work, do think you might leave yourself open to problems with the big gate having only used 'T' hinges would of used band type hinges that were adjustable would of gone equal size gates , i use wedges when hanging gates to line them alot easier especally on pairs.
That was a beautiful RV. Nice that the customers have a safe space to park it. Stevie and Scott, you two did a beautiful job on the gates and concrete. Like the explanations of the work. I like learning about the different ways of doing things. The rock you all found looks like silica to me. I may be wrong though. Thanks for another great video.
Love this site. Couple of things. We have a tool I call a spud bar. It is a steel bar about six feet long. It has a digging/prying blade on one end and a tamping knob on the other end. The blade end is 3.5 inches to 4 inches wide. Awesome tool for doing what you guys do every day. Do you ever find the treated posts over time succumb to rot? I have found that to be the case, I wrap masking tape around the post to the level of depth to ensure a crisp line. I then use a small trowel or putty knife to put a coat of plastic roof cement on the bare wood end before planting the post. No rot will occur. I leave about an inch above grade. Remove the tape and it looks sharp.
I would have gone with gate size as chosen as the smaller gate is good for everyday use and the larger gate is only going to be used for the van. Wondered if you ever use a pin hinge for heavier gates or if these are not as effective?? Superb job especially in those cold conditions😊
Guess they don't use Mortice and tenons these days? ....imho Gate way too wide for the height in those silly T hinges as well .. the gate was sagging and will continue to sag of that distance . should be using Cup Garage Gate hinges on a Gate that size at the least ... might even need a turnbuckle kit Construction of gate will also play a massive part in how a Gate holds it's shape ..Proper mortice and tenon. The diagonals would be tenoned into the middle rail and the Boarding would be recessed into a rebate into the frame .... this all helps with sag.....you can't completely eradicate it .... but everything you do in good construction Helps ....also...when you are installing the top and middle Hinges , snug it over a little towards the Post .. this will lift the front leading edge up slightly next to the other gate....when you remove the support at the bottom of the stile when all hinges are secured , gate will drop a fraction and match other gate.. ........this gate is going to keep sagging ....from what i observed. But what do i know.
Another great vlog 👍.Hahaha, I noticed you do what everyone else does when opening a bag of postcrete,cement, etc,use a jaggered stone, a bit of pointed wood, or my favourite ,force your thumb in to create a hole 😂,anything but use a Stanley knife, right, see it all the time haha .Enjoyed it.
Gday Steve, and the guys and gals at D&J Projects go above and beyond in keeping you customers happy😁😁🙏😚 And that cable was bad install would not done it like that. should been a conduit pipe underneath the path.

Those hinges aren’t suitable for the size of that gate You want to use adjustable hooks on bands for gates that size with a 8x8 post dug into the ground The post was moving like crazy when you were hanging it As soon as it starts raining the gate will absorb water and then that post will pop out Also just a tip when building your gates you would be better off using stainless steel nails as your galvanised nails are reacting with the treatment in the pressure treated timber creating those black drip marks Good to see your hard work ethic just a shame about those bits
Well you got looked after very well lucky guys hope gate want drop but guess will if no wheel on which you did say you were doing bit couldnt see it well done it was a hard one and could see bitter cold all tc now the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I suppose the hinges depend on how much moisture is absorbed into the wood different times of the year if any ? Swan necked gates with either a brace or wire fitted, were a good way of supporting the weight once upon a time. , usually seen on a farm gate but it's then necessary to start getting into stronger morticing/ Tennant joints etc on the wood work. A wheel onto the gate is only for " support, " definitely useful with those hinges. The wheel is not structural . If its sprung and under some compression I'd think it would be better ?
That shiny black rock looks like pitch (a sort of tar & bichamine) they used it to soak telegraph poles in the stuff. We were digging it up for years after we moved in and started digging the ground, as the houses on our street was built on the site of an old timber yard. It would be worth getting the customer to do a check on the land, so it is then the ground is classed as contaminated land. Great job guys.
Another great video lads ignore all the people who think they know better like you say alot in ur video's if a problem happens you will go back and fix it. People forget its what the customer asked for.
The 3m side I would have hinged it in the middle so it had 2 1.5m panels that could be folded back so the had the option of how big a gap they needed. Just a thought xx
One of my neighbours made gates for a wide opening, and opted for four bi-fold sections rather than two longer gates. He would have fitted wheels too, but the ground was rather uneven, so he went with heavy-duty posts and hinges.
Always enjoy watching you and your dad’s vlogs always informative and you are all about client and quality work. My question is there Any reason you would not do sliding type gate where gate would roll parallel between the blue shed and backside of the front fence it appears there is enough room but not being on site I might be seeing something, that would be my take on this particular situation. Let me know what you think
Not too shabby! I suggest next time use a Bull Float to level the top cream and clean the broom after every stroke to minimize "pebbles" from forming. Cheers!
No brace should be greater than 45° the strength is in the brace which should be let in to the ledges creating a litteral wedge.
I know my 5 bar farm gates drop due to weight and settlement, I would put a wheel on the new big gate to support it and so you don’t need to come back and adjust.

The black stuff you dug out i think is from someone's coal fire years ago maybe, could be a mix of silica and coal ash.
Basically black glass.
They definitely have the capacity to have a sliding gate in there.
That would have been my recommendation to them personally as its space saving and can be motorised in future if they choose to.
yeah i thought this as well
what i thought too. Motorized with remote.
Nice idea!
yes that gate/s swing taking up space can not used if the gate are in use?

Definitely 👍
Yes absolutly@@bally1213
Or maybe a castor to take some of the weight. 👍
definitely would of put a bi fold gate in were it folds onto it self instead of the 3m but another great vid lads and lasses at d&j❤❤
Bi fold are very flimsy imo
Can't believe u haven't put a wheel on that gate u must know it needs 1.

Those hinges aren’t suitable for the size of that gate
You want to use adjustable hooks on bands for gates that size with a 8x8 post dug into the ground
The post was moving like crazy when you were hanging it
As soon as it starts raining the gate will absorb water and then that post will pop out
Also just a tip when building your gates you would be better off using stainless steel nails as your galvanised nails are reacting with the treatment in the pressure treated timber creating those black drip marks
Good to see your hard work ethic just a shame about those bits

Well you got looked after very well lucky guys hope gate want drop but guess will if no wheel on which you did say you were doing bit couldnt see it well done it was a hard one and could see bitter cold all tc now the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I suppose the hinges depend on how much moisture is absorbed into the wood different times of the year if any ?
Swan necked gates with either a brace or wire fitted, were a good way of supporting the weight once upon a time. , usually seen on a farm gate but it's then necessary to start getting into stronger morticing/ Tennant joints etc on the wood work.
A wheel onto the gate is only for " support, " definitely useful with those hinges. The wheel is not structural . If its sprung and under some compression I'd think it would be better ?
Great job, have been away for a while, wheres aznay gone???
That shiny black rock looks like pitch (a sort of tar & bichamine) they used it to soak telegraph poles in the stuff. We were digging it up for years after we moved in and started digging the ground, as the houses on our street was built on the site of an old timber yard. It would be worth getting the customer to do a check on the land, so it is then the ground is classed as contaminated land. Great job guys.
Another great video lads ignore all the people who think they know better like you say alot in ur video's if a problem happens you will go back and fix it. People forget its what the customer asked for.
Given the weight of the larger gate, would a support wheel have been beneficial?
The 3m side I would have hinged it in the middle so it had 2 1.5m panels that could be folded back so the had the option of how big a gap they needed. Just a thought xx
nice to see the customers look after the workers to great job and all theD and J teams great videos
The glassy stiff you dug up looks like Obsidian, a volcanic glass. Great videos btw
One of my neighbours made gates for a wide opening, and opted for four bi-fold sections rather than two longer gates. He would have fitted wheels too, but the ground was rather uneven, so he went with heavy-duty posts and hinges.
Smart job with the concreting. Skills are piling up Stevie boi, bet the gaffa is proud of ya.
11:39 I'd use the old gate and hingefold so it only gets opened to full width when needed.
Great work lads and a lovely job too. All the best
Always enjoy watching you and your dad’s vlogs always informative and you are all about client and quality work.
My question is there Any reason you would not do sliding type gate where gate would roll parallel between the blue shed and backside of the front fence it appears there is enough room but not being on site I might be seeing something, that would be my take on this particular situation. Let me know what you think
Great job to both of you guys.
Lot of work done. .
Not too shabby! I suggest next time use a Bull Float to level the top cream and clean the broom after every stroke to minimize "pebbles" from forming. Cheers!
