Now the building work has started, we have decided to put up a gate across the front of the farmyard. Since this is only really going to be a temporary arrangement, there is little point in purchasing an expensive new gate. However, we were lucky enough to have a gate in the back field together with a side gate. These two gates together are enough to stretch across the farmyard entrance. With the gates padlocked together, the only issue is that the postman can’t get to the letter boxes to deliver the mail. The solutions? A letter box on the side of the wall next to the gate.
This gate was originally on the entrance to the field at the back of the property, but we have now moved it to the front for added security.
The problem with putting a gate at the front of the farmyard is that the postman cannot get to the letter boxes. This seemed like the simplest solution.
