How do I stop this gate from freezing?

You could wrap lagging around the area that sticks, or bandage it up.

I can’t wrap anything around it,Tiff, as it’s just the inside of the gate length , all the way down ,as you open it,

Thanks for the advice though.

Have you got an extension cable Pauline?
Use a hair dryer…Yes?

Global Warming, if nothing else will reduce these frustrations, maybe.

Perhaps just insulate the gate with newspaper articles on the subject?

Anything to get rid of most newspapers these days .

Ah, I can see it now, just tilted my screen slightly.

How about car windscreen defroster, that would probably melt the ice as it does on a windscreen. Not sure about the lasting capabilities of that though, usually it’s only used the once on a windscreen. It might be good for freeing the gate initially so that it opens though.

Tiff, my darling, if you had read my OP, you would have seen, it is a wooden gate, I mentioned it quite a few times,

Pixie knuckle, Mags, when I went to take my dog out this morning, guess what I found in my shed, some WD 40,…i left my gate open last night,like Susan suggested, so haven’t tried it yet.

Something so simple, when you think about it, yet I had to ask on off,and the ladies, came up trumps, how could I even think to doubt you girls.

As for that Judd!..…you need to stop counting those days to retirement,…only joking Judd, I know you work hard!!..

[pauline3]

I bet it doesn’t freeze anymore, after all that,

Thanks again everyone, appreciate all of your posts,x

Bruce, I would love to live in Australia, such a beautiful country, but, my uncle told me too many stories about them creepy crawlies!.:shock:

It certainly beats this country for its weather, absolutely freezing here!!
