Custom Wood gate
Custom Wood gate
The posts are made with solid 4×4 Cedar.
The wall was made with 8×16 cement blocks and stucco. The blocks cells on each side of the gate are solid grouted with re-bars.
That is giving the wall a lot of rigidity and allows to install solid anchors for mounting the posts with 3/8×8 lags.
The gate frame was made with 2×6 selected Cedar wood, the vertical planks are 1×6 clear Redwood.
The gate was constructed with state of the are joints and exterior adhesive with no nails or screws.
The woodwork was sealed for protection from weather, Guaranteed not to rot for 30 years.
Stain and finish coat was applied at last for appearance.
The gate is hung on None rust hinges and lucking handle.
This gate was designed, created and installed by Shapira Builders.
Yes Pictures would be nice… but a great description none the less..
It sounds really nice, Dov. I hope to see a picture soon.
Now you need to come put a gate in with my French Doors:) Beautiful.
How about that!
I love this concept 🙂
Very Nice!
Design sounds simple enough. Great idea!
LOVE IT!
Where's the picture? I was looking forward to seeing it!
Beautiful. Sounds perfect for Tucson
Just what I need! My gate has seen better days. Too bad you're not in Tucson Dov.
I will make you one Meli
Custom is always better – thanks for sharing the ideas!
We are in need of a new gate soon. Do you have a picture of this gate?
Amazing no nails or screws! Also with a 30 year no rot, sounds like a winner to me!
I cannot inbox you – please email me @ amandahalldvl@gmail.com 🙂
That is a beautiful gate. It's too bad that it's not showing up on the blog post.
It sounds amazing! I bet they love the gate!
I would really like a wood gate at my home, sounds lovely!
Dov! I need a new gate too!
I was hoping for a picture, too. The description is great, but, if there's one thing you and I have learned, it's a picture, please!
No Picture? It sounds like it looks really nice!
I could see the thumbnail photo in FB, but I can't see it here. The gate is dramatic and lovely. I'd like to see it closer–where did it go?
Very nice, I have always wanted a house with a wall and gate around it.
Beautiful!
I love the contrast of the wall color and the gate. Great work as usual Dov Shapira!
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous! I bet the owners enjoy looking at its beauty every day!
Thank you Lori, you're very kind
This is an amazing gate. I adore the finish and cannot believe that it will not rot for 30 years. Not many things in this world are guaranteed for 30 years. I love that.
Thank you dear
Thank you Kerrie
