Prowell’s Driveway Gates are built to the dimensions specified by the site. And although the vast majority of the gates are at 6′ or less in height, this example of #27 is 9′ high at the apex and a little over 8′ at the spring-points. Because of both the height and a width of 14′ overall, the gates require steel. Our patrons preferred Option #3 in the Price Tables, with a steel frame embedded invisibly within the 3′ thickness of each gate.

A pair of embedded steel gates is essentially four single gates. Each half is routed to accept half the thickness of the steel frame, shown below. The other half will eventually laminate onto this half for the full thickness of 3″.
