Heron Driveway Gate

Post by ben de lappe »

This is a design I worked up at the request of Joe Neel who did a fantastic job on the cut and fabrication of the gate from three 4' x 8' sheets run vertically. All plants and animals incorporated were drawn from pics of the actual specimen. The owners have small animals so the bottom 24" of the gate could not have an opening more than a few square inches.

Wow, really nice work, makes me wish I had a gateway just to have the gate!

Thought I'd show a bit more of the construction, give a better view of the cut. Sorry, don't have a close pic of the right end.

Great drawing Ben, the fact that it doesn't look like it's supposed to be a gate when it's just sitting there is a true testament to your artistry!
