Sorry about the snow, and this was almost 2 months ago....lol. I have the gate hung and ready to serve me all next summer. It will keep the snomachines from racing across the garden too. lol (evil plotting laughter)

Thank you Louise. I think it came out very well. And as far as snow, there far more than that now. lol. I wont mention the temperature.
Last year I stood outside while the neighbors son drove around and glowered at him. Still got too close for me. SO the fence and gate is a ploy. :-)

Don't you just hate idiot sons ? Grrrrrr.
(why not erect an electric fence?)
;-)

Ohhh ! lol
Well we have heavy rain this morning, and it's very windy. I hope you're coping with your weather.
I'm glad you've put the fence now. It will give more privacy. I like the gate.

Greenthumb...Its a brilliant gate ....I love it......hope it does the trick for you.....

Oh, thank you for all the comments. :-) I'm so glad you all like it. Just a dream all summer, I'm so glad it went right in and looks good. I thinks it will keep a good defensive line from all the snomachines too. :-) We have been spoiled with a mild fall and early winter so I'm not complaining. Now its about normal, cold and dark. Just a few more months and the sun will return to me though.
So pleased you all like the gate.

Ahhh! There is is..I am loving this gate GT! Good way to keep the SM's out too!

Love your gate and arch, well done.

Thank you both. I'm proud that it has turned out well and with a good reception. :-) I'm excited for planting, come on winter.....grrr. :-)

Wow....I love your gate GT. I hope the neighbours boy takes heed that there is now a fence and gate there and doesn't snowmobile over top of it.

Thank you Gilli. I am very pleased. With even the extra snowfall we had last year, the top should still be pertruding. If he does come racing across this year, there will be plenty of evidence and it will stop altogether. He has grown up and moved and his parents would not be pleased he has come over to visit and wrecked their tenants stuff. I'm in good standing with the improvements and care I've taken with their place.

Thank you Sandra. Now that is up, bigger and better plans keep flooding my mind to improve the meager fence its attached to. :-)
3 Dec, 2009
thats always the way.....i build things then plans change and i have too moove it all again. iwe are hopeing to let some yurts in the garden next year and that means soooo much has to move...including my tyre circle.....but it will be a way of making some extra money hopefully....

Thank Grammazoo and Tasteyg. I do think it came out well. :-) And now the season is ripe, it does look a bit more festive, though holidays here are in the dark. :-)
Sandra, that does sound like a bunch of work. But that is the evolution that I love in the garden. Always moving things about and bringing new ideas. :-)

Looks GREAT. Perfect for your house.

Thanks Mike. It was fulfilling to get up and does merge with my nature cabin setting. Now I'm hoping to have a summer contrast with formal flower displays all around it. :-)

I just love this GT it really ties in with the surroundings.

Thank you Stroller. I got the birch from my friends property. I'm going to grow some sweet peas up two still with the branches on each side this year. I'm pleased you like. :-)
