New gates made from upcycled materials at Brinsley Animal Rescue

Compost bins overrun with nettles hide a broken down gate, so its time to clear the area fix up the fence and make a new gate all from reclaimed wooden pallets!

Brinsley Animal Rescue is always busy looking after sick/injured animals, re-homing rabbits, ponies, goats and all manor of animals. So keeping on top of maintenance tasks can be tricky. So we possible we like to find little projects which Wildlife & Eco Gardens can do for free, to this end we look to reclaimed wood and upcycled materials, and whats better than pallets for making something out of!

After removing all the old wood, 50 barrows full of compost/nettles and being attacked by geese we finally got the area ready for the new gate.

New pallet gate made to replace old broken down gate at Brinsley Animal Rescue.

Next task is to remove all the old compost bins from then the sanctuary first started! And plant up the area to increase bio-diversity, increase soil stability and help soak up excess water over winter!
