The photograph invites us into believing our patron, Dolores, has just returned from the local market, wheeling her bike through the garden gates and onto the new patio where she pauses to unlace her bonnet and from the basket grabs her fresh beans and rhubarb, slipping into the kitchen whistling something or another, her mind occupied by dinner, by what she can work up with a little of this n’ that as the neighbors begin wandering toward that patio, nonchalantly, lead by the anticipation of something doing in the kitchen and by the idea of another evening on the patio and an hour of conversation relished with the pace of molasses and how it shows that sometimes the smallest strides end up bringing the greatest pleasures. A new patio, born from a few bricks and some mortar and a string of lights and a gate with its sisterly fence that, given the social graces of Dolores, the hostess, seems hardly worthy. And yet proud to be a part of the leisure known to this home.

Crudely carved, as you may have guessed, from a bar of prison-made soap.

A short respite to reiterate the importance of sanctioning a portion of every day toward the pursuit of excellence. In whatever medium suits us, this striving for perfection and rhythm pays untold benefits on a multitude of levels. And it would appear that our patron, a landscape painter, has found a means of capturing, and holding, our attention. Photographed from her easel on the back porch. Her mastery is obvious here in her texturing of the trees and the ridges.

We’ve essentially doubled the weave pattern with two sections separated by a center divide. This a Base Price + 30%.
The Colonial Weave can vary within the given widths. By introducing a vertical divider, and lowering or raising the middle rail, the angle of the Weave changes accordingly, affecting the proportionate look of the Gate Design.
Every commission receives dimensioned drawings prior to any work beginning–in part this is to provide you with a proportionate display of how certain patterns can vary with different widths and heights.

At first glance, it might seem that the gate is disproportionately shorter than the flanking fence. And yet if you imagine the gates at the same 9′ height, the assembly becomes an overwhelming fortress.
