  • We lost a garden gate in the storms a couple of weeks ago, the gap is 90cm from the house to the fence (gate sized)
    I was planning on fitting the hinge to the house, rather than a gate post (as there isn't room for a 50mm gate post and a 900mm door.
    I've subsequently heard you need to attach a gate to a gate post.
    Why is this?
    Gate gets occasional use.

  • Depending on where you live the support required for attaching the gate to the house might introduce moisture in there, generally considered a bad idea.
