     This project is a sixteen foot double driveway gate.  While it has an organic feel to it, the design is quite abstract.  There are two dozen red, copper roses back to back distributed throughout the gate.    
     It  weighs approxiamately 300 pounds per panel.  There is a solar gate opener with remote and keypad triggers.
     The picture to the right is a drawing the client found in a book of English ironwork.  Below is the actual gate and details.
