Hi Everyone,
I have an arbor part way into my driveway, about an eighth of a mile from the house. I've always wanted to do something decorative and functional here, as its the entry into my residence. The standard eight foot gates that a person can buy in a farm store are too short, a ten footer is too long, and I don't really care for the look of one ten and one eight foot gate.
The posts on the arbor are sixteen feet and eight inches apart. I am thinking two gates that are a full eight feet in length and four foot high. I have inch and seven eighths schedule forty pipe and premade ninety degree corners that I can use.
I am thinking that one day I may have an automatic opener on these gates so that may play into the design, and they will need to be able to be locked in some fashion.
I would like to ask the tractorbynet community for some creative design ideas.
Thanks in advance.
