Plain Stupidity
The things I have to deal with … I mean seriously, isn’t this something that should NOT have happened in the first place? It’s just plain stupidity.
Dear XXX
I have been advised to contact you first regarding the following issue:
It has come to our attention that the gate to XXX is only 2.3 meters wide and not 2.6 meters wide as per plan in the contract. The following problems exist with access to the car space.
1) As the gate opening is only 2.3m in width and not the specified standard 2.6m, we have trouble manoeuvring a little hatchback through the gate. Any larger car would most likely not fit through the opening. The opening should be at least 2.6m wide to enable a standard sized car to enter and exit the dedicated car space.
2) The gates currently open inwards into the car space. We only just manage to shut the gates with a hatchback car parked in the space. Other standard sized cars like a sedan would prohibit the gates from closing when parked in the car space.
We are requesting a solution that:
1) widens the gate width to the stipulated 2.6 meters; and
2) a gate that will shut when a standard sized car is parked in the car space.

you could turn the hinges around so the gates open to the outside.

Yes they can do that not me … and the need to widen it first anyway.
