As with all Prowell Entrance Driveway Gates, both sides are identical. All stiles and rails are joined with tenons. All panels are free to float as solid slabs, contracting and expanding as the climate requires. Self-drainage weep holes along every horizontal rail. A method of construction that will last a century.

One wonders, if in this application, the drive gate assembly might more appropriately be of the same color as the body of the bay window. Deciding on whether to leave an assembly unfinished, stained, or painted, depends on a host of factors. The site; the size of the site in comparison to the residence; the proximity of the assembly to the residence; the setting, whether woodsy and organic, or urban and manicured.

The deciding goal is not to have the Prowell assembly upstage an existing precedent. It should, moreover, appear as if it were designed and built when the original structure was created.

PROGRESS
