I found the wood cut already, free to take in the woods. I chose and carried loads home I have laid out my designs on the ground.
I have asked friends for help to create joins without screws,nuts, bolts.
Then I found your site and I have had to think again they are so brill.
ProblemI need to keep dog and chickens in, unwanted folk and fox out.
One question why is all the bark taken off, and is there a easy way to do this?

My favorite gate was one I saw in the fall, with slats shaped and painted like a pumpkin. Whimsy!

I enjoyed looking through your portfolio photos, very interesting projects. From one landscape designer to another, please keep scale (no, not the insect) in mind. If there are elements in the landscape which are not to scale, it can cause a feeling of uneasiness. I loved the project whith the orange accents in it , via chair cushions and flowers. Also, the urn plantings are lovely.
Thank- you.

I love to the first gate – what a great use for a wisteia vine!

That gate is in an Open Days garden in NY state designed by Patrick Chasse.–s

Sometimes when I fantasize about quitting my job, I imagine myself building gates for a living. Love gates.

I would so love to have a gate built by you! Maybe sooner than later…-s
