Here are some pictures of the gates I built. The first two are on either side of our house and the one to the right is one I made for our next-door neighbors. Notice that two have a cross member on top. This makes the framework much more rigid plus it gives a nicer appeal to the whole structure. I used kiln dried redwood. Expensive? Yes, but these are 'special' and will last. The stiles and rails were made with deep tenons and mortises that are glued together with epoxy. This makes them strong and weather resistant. I have had people come by asking where they could buy those gates, and my answer was simply, 'No where, I made those and I am not interested in doing it again'. |

Here are some photos of the deck and built-in barbeque. There is also a table with an umbrella stand underneath. I designed
the table top on rollers so it is easier to get in and out of the back
side. Then there is a small deck where the kids had fun playing 'house', the tool shed with its stained glass door and two compost
bins. |
