Nab job
This was a large job which involved changing the entrance to an old farm drive. Two large dry stone pillars were constructed to hang a pair of wooden automated gates from. One side wall was built on a tight upward curve and the other built to join to the existing boundary wall. The walls were built to be stockproof and therefore were 4 foot 6 inches high, taller where they met the pillars.

After particularly heavy rain, a partial landslide behind an old 8ft high retaining wall caused the whole thing to come crashing down. After clearing the site and erecting extensive scaffolding, we were able to build a double sided curved wall where the old one used to be.
