Hi Chris, Is there a reason you need a sliding gate as opposed to swing/standard gates? We could make you this sliding gate in a wooden design to match your fence type, or another set of wooden gates to your bespoke requirements. Our Website is http://www.portcullis-gates.co.uk where you might find some design ideas to help get you started, or we have some idea & project books on our Houzz page. Please don't hesitate to get in contact if you would like us to do a site visit, and put some designs together for you. Good Luck with all your projects, Best Wishes, Portcullis

You are correct the place does and always will look a bit sparse when you only have blinds. The question with curtains is sometimes dependant on what climate you live in and I am not sure where you are so I am going to say. If you need curtains for heat go for a quality curtain to the floor with a fabric that is not stiff (as I discovered I now own after buying curtains off line for my spare rooms). The expensive curtains I brought for my living room have a softer texture and hang so much nicer. As I need Curtains / Roman blinds for heat I have backing fabric etc on the expensive made to measure ones, where as the cheaper ones are just thermals. If you only want to add a curtain for looks and do not require it for heat I would recommend going with a lovely sheer / half see through fabric that drapes really well, this will add a point of interest and you can colour match or add a loved colour to a bare - white on white - cream on cream - colour scheme.

Hi, Thanks for the response. :) I am following CCC Residential Suburban and Residential Suburban Density Transition Zone. It seems you can build 1m from boundary without having a window facing the boundary. I thought it seemed close, but if it gives me more space on the sunny side of the property then I'm happy. I wasn't sure how worthwhile it was me building interior/external walls into my design. I think a real draftsman would only use my dimensions as a guide and bin my project designs. I've only used the boundary line to design the entire thing, then used some Objects to give a visual guideline.

We’ve just moved into a new built. Is relatively private, but I’d like to add curtains to the kitchen/living area. It’s got sliding doors on two sides. The splash back in the kitchen is gecko green (which we rather like. Final comment, the garden is yet to be established, but it will be lushly and green. Any suggestions for curtains?
