Re: Garden gate closing hardware
Thanks Don,
Your drawings certainly capture the idea, though the one I saw did not have
a pulley. I guess the biggest question in my mind is what to use for a
weight. Several folks have sent me e-mail privately in response to this
issue and one of the most creative ideas is to use an old boot filled with
sand as a weight! What will gardeners think of next????
