Wooden Gates

[Carrie]

Hello. I'm looking for good quality hardwood gates for my drive, either made to measure or ready made. Does anybody have any recommendations in Norfolk or Suffolk? I'd prefer to see what I'm getting if possible. Thanks in advance. Carrie

I haven't used these people myself, but I've heard them well spoken of.

Not in Suffolk but not too far away just had a big oak estate gate and posts made by these people:

Very happy with the final product and found them easy to deal with. Just got to get around to digging the whacking great holes for the posts now!

Won't Biff make gates?

I've got a picture of the perfect wooden gate sitting on my desktop, but try as I might I can't get it into a message. Tried copying and pasting between the Img thingies but no luck.

So here's the URL :

It's somewhere near Lake Titicaca

We shold not mock, a perfect example of re-use, we should be proud...........

If only we could stop laughing.

Yes. I thouoght that picture was one of mine till I spotted that it's a size 10 sole. Mine are 11.

 

[Penners]

If it wasn't for the superior craftsmanship, I'd swear that's one of mine.

Whilst on the subject of gates, I dont know if any of you are familiar with this one but it tickled me....

 

[Penners]

Excellent! It wasn't taken in Norfolk, was it? This one was:



I'm afraid the sign is a little difficult to read. It says "Dial 999 for Coastguard, Police, Fire or Ambulance".

 

[Jon Maine]

Not sure where it is, Did find this little gem though which I think is brilliant.

 

[biffvernon]

They'll have to change the label come January 20th.

 

[Penners]

We hope. Time will tell.

 

[Jon Maine]

On the face of it there is more hope, but as you say only time will tell.

Penners - I also have a picture of that phone box at Holkham beach, very funny unless there is a fire I suppose.

 

[Penners]

It's what they call "Normal for Norfolk". :wink:

I've also seen two different signs at the side of the road in Norfolk, that made me smile. One said:

All Day Breakfast served 8.00am until 11.30am

and the other:

Cats Eyes Removed

I wasn't sure whether the latter was a roadworks warning or a billboard for a vet's surgery.
