The keen eye may spot a few slight errors..
It's a cheap oak gate. Could be better quality but it's a paddock after all.
If it looks a bit high that's because there is a slight hollow I want to fill in under the gate to make the ground flatter on the lawn side.
The hooks aren't quite on the center line of the post like they should be. That's because I put the striker post in while I still had the post hole boring machine for the fence (eg before hanging the gate) I measured and remeasured before concreting the hanging post...and still got it slightly wrong.
The striking post is a bit narrow for the gate latch - I thought a 6" post would do that end and forgot it needed to be wide enough for the hoop latch.
I can't decide if I should put the top rail on the fence or cut it short so the paddock feels attached to the house.
