Fixit Fingers

Rare Earth is a great idea Keith for the catch. Make sure you let me know if you make it, I'd love to see pics. Give me a shout if you get any questions.

Cheers for the feedback! It's been up a year now and the boys have made more attempts to dig under it through the concrete than try to climb it 😅. It had to match the existing privacy screen too but there is no reason why you couldn't flip the slats vertically, that may match some people's decks better too. - James 👍

Awesome I'd love to see it rebuilt. Avoiding needing tracks was one of my design criteria and accidentally making a plant/drink stand with the gudie box was a nice outcome😊 Shout out if you run into any errors in the Instructable (it was my first one) or need something clarified. Can't wait to see it.

Thank you! The water-based oil really evens out the decking material... now I just have to remind my brother to touch it up each year to keep it looking that way unlike his privacy screen 😅

Absolutely awesome Grant, one of your best and that is saying something. You couldn't bribe that reaction any better from your son with any amount of sweet treats. Great stuff!

Very cool mate! Really caught my eye, good luck with the comp.

Oh that's very cute... and it's hard not to love a JRRT themed project :D

Thanks Jess! Very stressful doing my first Instructable but it was great fun. Very excited to have it featured so quickly. Cheers, James

Cheers Sam! A friend encouraged me to get some of my projects on here and while this first one was a lot of work it was a good learning experience in itself and heaps of fun. I was super excited to get this featured and will have to go through my back catalouge for other suitable builds to share with the community. - James

That's what I call an accidental feature to be honest but it does work well 😅 My brother has a couch next to the gate so it's a good beverage holder.
