I've got a wooden gate (6'x3' flimsy pine, about 15kg) and I'm going to
fix it to a solid brick wall edge using 3 T-hinges. The latch will
engage in a non-too substantial wooden post.

Is it best to fix a batten to the wall, and screw the hinges to the
batten? Or fix the hinges direct to the brick?

Thanks, Rob

Batten to the wall first. This allows your to put the hinges exactly
where you want them rather that where the holes wander to in the wall.
