New Kayak Gate!

On Friday, July 16th, the club had a new gate to the beach installed on the South fence, East side of the storage yard.

QS Fencing work truck arriving to do the gate installation.

The new gate will go in the centre section of the South fence, East side. Thanks to the JTP program for clearing it’s training boats out of the way.

The fence section is cut out and the old fence posts removed. New, stronger posts will be installed.

New gate posts installed, tying the old chain link to the new posts. Notice how much thicker the new posts are compared to the old ones. The new gates are to the side, ready to go.

Getting the chain link tight to the new posts.

Almost done, clean-up and final adjustment.

The new gates lock in the middle. They will be left unlocked for now. Please close the gates after each use. The new gates OPEN OUT onto the beach.

Drilling the hole for the gate lock. The gate is now ready for the weekend!

Commodore Cameron Burrows opens the new Kayak Gate and welcomes our Kayaking members!

Thank-you to Rear Commodore Antje for organizing the gate installation.
