Working full steam to build a new fence for my haunt and minus the cross at top center and hinges, these gates are done! The vertical rods are 1/2" electrical PVC, the frame 1x3 Douglas Fir, the "X" 1x2 stain grade pine, the arc is redwood bender board milled and sanded to fit, and the bat toppers are Disneyland Haunted Mansion bottle stoppers. The brass skull handles are a medium size that came from a shop in Australia http://silkroadyamba.com.au/shop/medium-skull-handle-door-pull-spine-solid-brass-old-vintage-bronze-style-280mm-b/ I painted the gate with Rustoleum Restore Verticle. It's very gritty and takes a lot before it drips.

This is great! Where did you get the bats?

 

[slcjeeper]

Thanks! I found the bats on Ebay under "bat stopper". For whatever reason, there are a bunch of them coming out of Florida. I made a deal with a couple of sellers and bought everything they had.

The gates look great, how tall are they about 6 feet ? Love the handles.

 

[slcjeeper]

Thanks! The top of the frame is about 74" and the tallest black rod is about 81".

Very nice, please post when it is all in place.

Very cool work! The bat toppers look like a Baccardi's bottle pour spout I picked up.

did the city ever finish your sidewalk so you can set up this year?

Well, they finished the sidewalk and curbing. Now that the snow is cleared, they can finish the landscaping. So for 2015 we are a go!

I almost used the Bacardi spouts, but couldn't find enough of them. That's when I found the Disney bottle stoppers.

Very Impressive. Love the extra details.

Fantastic gate! I love the design. And the half height section at the bottom is a great idea to keep kiddos from squeezing through. Nice work!

Really nice work!

Awesome gates! I've been wanting to build gates for my columns. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas.

 

[slcjeeper]

Thank you! I'll post pics when I get the pillars done.
