This may just look like a driveway gate….
But let me tell you about a couple decisions that were integrated into this design.
(1) Gate location - client wanted it at the back corner of the house, not anywhere, right there ✔️
(2) Core drill - the cleanest way to set posts through a driveway. Fancy drilling, right next to drain tile on one side, hello. Other side was finished off to make the driveway look proper again ✔️
(3) Gate swing - Setting the posts with just enough clearance so the gates would open past 90 degrees and maximize the actual opening size ✔️
(4) Hinge type - Residential style hinges, so the gate would feel like opening a door, rather than box style hinges that have more of a sliding feel ✔️
(5) Vinyl on Steel post and frame construction - client chosen colors for the vinyl and the steel for ultimate customization and durability ✔️
(6) Deluxe latch - keyed for security and lockability from both sides. Yeah that’s a word now ✔️
(7) Double drop rods - to pin those bad boys open when you want to drive in and out ✔️
We’ve been doing this! We’re always learning new tricks, but we know a thing or two about a thing or two, and we care to ask the questions!!!
