Pair of wooden gates ($80/pair) plus old fence palings (free) for removal
Solidly made wooden gates 1500mm high - left hand gate 1135mm wide and right hand gate 1700mm wide. Rubber wheel on wider gate, galv hinges, drop bolts both gates plus new galv striker type latch. Made approx 14 months ago with new framing timber and recycled palings from old gates and fence. Wanting $80 for the pair, well worth the money.
The rest of the existing fence is free for the taking. Used palings - there's approx 88 at 1500mm high x 150mm wide x 15mm thick and they've still got some life in them if you like rustic and free. There's probably recoverable post and rail timber in there as well. Have a part 10 litre pail of fence paint/stain to match the dark colour that's free with the lot as well.
Need to get the fence removed by the 29th of January. I'm around for the removal with power tools etc if anything needs cutting up. We're in the inner city behind the District Court Building. Call Pete on 021-755705.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
