Custom gates - Maple Tree Design

Post by JDR Metal Art »

This is a set of custom gates with a 14' maple tree design I did for a residential driveway entry up in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The clients sell metal yard art at their home on the weekends so these gates fit in perfectly with the overall theme of their property.

I plasma cut the maple tree silhouette from 3/16" sheet steel; the gate frame is a mix of 2x2x1/8" & 2x2x3/16" square tubing. The hinges I custom made using sealed bearings pressed in DOM tube and threaded rod welded on the hinge tubes allow for fine adjustment.

40% gloss bronze powder coat finish over zinc rich primer over silica sandblasted & manganese/zirconium oxide pretreated substrate for long term beauty, adhesion & durability.
