Here we have designed and built a swinging driveway gate. It is wetland inspired and it is absolutely spectacular, amazing, and unlike any gate in the area...... so I have been told by several people as it was on display at an art festival.... Every component of the gate was hand forged, after the initial weld up took place we realized the gate had some gaps that needed to be filled, we spent another 16 hours forging additional components to help balance the piece and fill the space better. At this point the gate still need some structural welding done and needs to be powder coated. I will update this once it has been installed.
