Are they the jourdain ones or homemade jobs? Stick up a few pics. Like stuff like that that's as much about the design as the manufacture

Lots of home made gates in the main yard. Whole handling unit is handmade

Your after giving me an idea. Putting in floors into a shed here and putting up new calving pens & creeps and I'm sort of stuck at one cate into the calving pen. This will work :-)

Ya l was thinking of having another small gate hinged off this one having it telescopic is a much neater job. Only downside l can think of with telescopic is if they put pressure on it with two trying to squeeze out together, they could put a bend in bars and then wouldn't slide back! But think having plenty of bars on gate will stop this. Fingers crossed!

Is that the new dewalt impact ? They are a great job

There a good job alright. Have the makita as well. Prefer the Mikita it's not as fast as dewalt. U can break the heads of screws with dewalt handy enought.

Are the batteries as good in the makita ?

Youll come out some morning to find a lovely bundle of ****ty firewood.

whats the advantage of having it hinged?

How did you manage to find the centre for the pillar?

I'd measure the circumference of the tank.

Divide by 4

Connect the opposites with lines

And X marks the spot

Or pull a string between any two points on the edge of the circle, find mid point of the string. Go perpendicularly from that point towards the centre.

Do the exact same thing from anywhere else on the edge of the circle and the two lines will meet at the centre point

ah yes the old bisect 2 chords

2 lengths of twine. Nail one end of the first piece anywhere around the inside of the tank. Pull it straight across to where the string is longest, nail or weight it down at this position.

Repeat with the other piece of string, starting anywhere else around the inside, but ideally roughly 90 degrees around from either end of your first string. Find the longest point of this string also, and pin it down. Where they cross is centre.
