Odd question, i know, but i thought some of you seasoned DIYers might know.
We have a brick shed right next to the house, 110cm distance away. It is at an odd angle to the house and the points of the corners face each other. Either side is our garden, split into two parts.
When we moved in their was a waist-high gate between them, with a wood post against the shed anchoring it. However, it quickly became clear this was window dressing for sale, as the shed bricks the post was drilled into crumbled the first winter we were here, the post disintegrated, and the gate fell out.
I would like to replace it, not least because dd2 is at the toddling-with-no-discernable-concept-of-danger stage. I don’t really want to drill into the brick again because it crumbled so much before and it seems a waste of a nice Edwardian shed. I bought a stairgate that i thought would expand to fill the gap but 1) it won’t really balance on the points of the corners each side, and 2) the actual “gate” part is only a 50cm in the middle which won’t let a push chair or lawn mower through.
Any ideas?
