    The bit with the chickens is the most British thing I've ever seen. And if he's not British he should be.

    Loved the video! I was interested about the gate spring to be honest, but watching your chickens doing an impromptu runner was a lovely and very funny bonus! In fact I found your vid far funnier than a lot of Hollywood comedies :)
    Guess I'll cluck off now. Thanks again

    having worked in the industrial door industry i can tell you that is a right hand gate spring ( hinge on right hand side of gate) you just unwound the spring which technically means you have taken tension off

    Great video! I am going to locate my chicken run close to the vegetable garden now! Do you know of a soft close option like we have for inside cabinets? I want to have a gate without a latch so we can get through it with our hands full but it will close and stay closed without latching it.

    I use the same method you will find when kids let the gate close on a fully opened gate the little metal pegs will just jump out of the slots...glue or weld pegs into place...just a heads up?

      I have an interior a door closer with a similar design, and the pegs screw in. Maybe the peg could be replaced with a screw / bolt? My exterior spring pegs also fell out, so I will try a small screw this time.

    Shouldn't the spring be on the other side of the gate. Is the soring suppose to work by stretching or by compression.

    • @joypalos474
      @joypalos474 7 місяців тому

      My thoughts exactly. We have kids playing in our back garden all the time with our kids and the gate is heavy for them to close. I thought this spring might pull it shut. Doesn’t seem to have enough strength to shut it as spring is used here. Perhaps I could put it on other side as spring is on the inside of my house storm door.

    Do you endorse the concept of putting a finish on each part of the exterior parts prior to assembly?
    Mostly to insure adequate protection from the elements.
    Terrific production in every aspect.

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  4 роки тому

      Not sure which you mean but I always try and treat cut ends of timber yes, as for metal, usually galvanised so leave as is.

      Do you not paint/stain all surfaces of exterior fence or gate components?

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  4 роки тому

      Ah I see. Well with the picket fence I did as it was easier to spray all the components green first rather than mess around after. All the wood is usually treated which helps.
