awaiting 2 12x12 Oak Posts structural grade and a couple of 10x6 RSJ's and stage 2 can begin.
Today efforts, drive to Folkstone and collect solid hardwood stable door, remove crappy UPVC one and fit, after buying new frame.

Have you checked what the post is sitting on?
It's sitting on a 10mm thick 450mm square steel plate that has solid concrete under it. Then has a 2" angle socket to avoid slippage, as per structural engineers Calcs . Simpo, yes, it's 2 steels.
Inky, fekk orf
