I have been mobilized by a member here to build this beautiful and yet simple gate. It should be 14ft wide with the 3ft pedestrian walk built into it. There's no much space for it to be hanged apart. The delivery timeline is three weeks. Join me as we do it like always 1 Like

I haven't been able to start working on the gate because I travelled to another state for a job. Came in last night and decided to start working on it today cause there maybe another restrictions of movement tomorrow. I also need to make up for the lost times. First we needed to measure the dimensions of the gate to ensure it's up to desired height and width. Then we made the curve at the top. You may not know it but making the ark needs experienced hands and skill.

After that, I had to make provision for a 3ft gate embedded into this. Reason for doing that is because the client doesn't have much space in the compound to fit that one differently. More pictures of that by tomorrow

The client observed that the space between the tops arrows to be too wide. He drew my attention to it and the security lapse it might cause. So this morning, I bought more of those and added to the gate

I wasn't satisfied with the color of the gate and I had to try lots of things to see what will look best
|
Re: Making Of A Beautiful Gate. COMPLETED AND DELIVERED by michlins(m): 8:37pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
Personally I saw that the colors were off by more than a mile and even the client raised the issue. So I did something else
|
Re: Making Of A Beautiful Gate. COMPLETED AND DELIVERED by michlins(m): 8:44pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
This wasn't really what I like so I did something else. This color was later approved by the client and that's how my day ended happily

Tomorrow, I will be wrapping it with nylon cause the delivery site is very far and the road very terrible |
Re: Making Of A Beautiful Gate. COMPLETED AND DELIVERED by michlins(m): 8:54pm On Oct 08, 2021 |
I love this job but then I know it would look better if it were wrought iron just like the original concept was

As far as I understand, your gate is custom-made. It looks amazing! When we were choosing doors for our new home, we also wanted to use a company that makes custom doors. We ordered quality doors at https://doordesignlab.com/interior-doors/prehung/barn.html. We chose the doors together with our interior designer. We have a European-style design with solid-colored furniture and walls. I like minimalism in the interior, so we chose a monochrome beige door. Doors are a part of the interior that rarely gets changed. That's why it's necessary to choose doors for the long term. |
