These are some redwood gates I built at a house in Montclair. The pictures show raw wood first, then stained.
The first gates are concealing the garbage and recycling cans, previously this area was just open and the customer didn’t want them to be seen.
This style was chosen to match the entry gates on the other side of the driveway.
This gate was to separate the back deck from the front, so that the dogs could be outside and contained to this area.
It had to be notched and shaped to fit against the house and look as though it was meant to be there.
This one was a little tricky. It was previously part of the railing that I converted into a gate so that the dogs could be let out into the backyard. The angles seen on the gate itself are cut to fit into where the railing had been.
These pictures are hard to see because of the glare from the sun, but they are all after the stain was applied.
