I thought for sure you were going to inflate the trees to make them 3d. could use both sides too if you split it down the seam.
good video and end result none the less. keep up the amazing vids

[@ConnorHolland]

Thank you. I did think about inflating them, but I wanted to use galvanised sheet, which can't be welded

Hello. what a device at 2:56. Lower left part of the image. Is it for transporting goods?
p.s. Greetings from Ukraine.

[@ConnorHolland]

It's a cordless vacuum, easier than using a brush to clean the floor.
P.S Best wishes from the UK, and stay safe

@@ConnorHolland Ha ha I thought that this is such a thing only on the accumulator

Can you provide the list of materials (metal stock/sheet, paint) used for this project? Not necessarily the quantity, but the type.
Thanks in advance.

[@ConnorHolland]

The frame is 40 x 40 x 2.5mm square tube, the sheets are Galvanised 2500mm x 1250mm x 0.6mm, the paint is Jenolite Directo Rust. I used the hinges from the old gate

[@jlms69]

@@ConnorHolland excellent, sir!
Very much appreciated information.
By the way, that’s one great looking gate. I love how it blends with the real trees in your yard.

[@ConnorHolland]

@@jlms69 Thank you!

Nice! I wanted to ask, how did the rust shield perform? Is it enough to keep the rust away in Britain? I always love the looks of the bare metal. Thanks,

[@ConnorHolland]

Still no rust after all this time outside, it's galvanised steel and I made sure to spray the cut edges

Slow down drilling holes with an electric hand drill....for the size hole you were drilling, you should be in the neighborhood of 600 RPM, no 2500 RPM. It will save you dulling your bits.

Thanks for the tip
