pmackellow 2,738 #1 Posted October 19, 2018 After much saving, planning and pondering the new shed finally arrived yesterday and was finished off about 6pm today. 16 foot by 8 foot, this will be the new Wheelhorse/Westwood shed 5 Stormin, WestwoodW8Gazelle, Alan and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wristpin 400 #6 Posted October 20, 2018 Nice shed but it depends how you rate the security risk but it looks as though the door hardware is just screwed on. Not easy to see but are those hinges and the bolt secure? One coach bolt through each side of each hinge in place of a screw and similar for each side of the bolt . Long enough to go right through with decent washers and nuts on the inside. Ideally a bolt and padlock top and bottom. 4 WestwoodW8Gazelle, Anglo Traction, Cub Cadet and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 1,016 #7 Posted October 21, 2018 Nice big shed there. Should have that filled 'in the blink of an eye' I considered my Garage door security last year. No fixings or handles on the outside now. It's a 1962 wooden Westland of Yeovil door, to which I added wire mesh in the recesses (anti chainsaw). Then filled with insulation. Have 2 x 12" Brenton Bolts (plus the latch) on the top and 2 x 15mm Drop Bolts into concrete on the bottom. The sides are restrained by the heavy steel (anti saw) channel guides. Major improvement to the temperature stability after draught proofing. Internal side access shows the FD60 rated Fire door, seals and Insurance approved Yale lock. Feel much happier now, as it's integral on the ground floor- Boosted the fire warning system and extingishers too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WestwoodW8Gazelle 51 #10 Posted October 25, 2018 Nice to see the old Westwood kit. When restoring the cultivator, what was the paint you used as that's the same colour as my Gazelle when Westwood orange paint seems too orange than the old red/orange paint on the cultivator and gazelle. Thanks. 1 pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much appreciated. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
