    With the amount of Ally your using, I can't see why Trump will need to worry about a glut in supply, most of it is heading down under.

    Great progress Ralph, makes my 9ft first effort a bit tame :avatar:

    Looks like the citrus will require some careful pruning ! ;)

    Great work on the frames and track bed. Looking forward to seeing more as it happens. :thumbs:

    Cheers, Gary.

    Hi Gary, Citrus Pruning has commenced :thumbs:

    Today’s work session moved things along nicely, we managed to get both gates built and working apart from a latching system to hold them shut.


    Gate 1 half way open


    Gate 1 fully open gives approx 800mm opening


    Gate 2 shut


    Gate 2 half way open


    Gate 2 fully open


    2nd gate gives an opening of just over 1m which will let me get the wheel barrow down to the shade house


    Mandarin tree has had a quick prune..to allow safe passage of the rolling stock.....one day...

    CHEERS RALPH

    Nice work on the gated sections. :thumbs:

    Two questions... What are you using to keep them shut and aligned ?? and... What do you grow in the shade houses ??

    Cheers, Gary.
