Have you ever wondered why you come home angry? There are a lot of reasons your mind might be racing a hundred miles an hour when you walk through the door. It could be the result of bad news, a tough day at the office, or uncertainty about the future. It could also be something small. One of the little frustrations of your daily existence—like an expensive gate that doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to!
Small stresses add up. Together they can leave you feeling agitated, keep you awake at night, and even lead to conflicts at home. If you’re not careful, your stressors could boil over, causing you to burst.
Will a properly installed gate save your marriage? Not, but maybe. At the very least, it could help reduce the sore, achy feeling that you feel throbbing behind your eyes when you get home after a long day. And isn’t that worth something?
Gates, Gates, Gates!
Building and installing custom gates is a subtle science. Flawless installation goes virtually unnoticed, while a poorly installed gate is a source of constant frustration. For a gate that will look good for years to come (without getting stuck, scraping the pavement, or slanting), you need a custom-tailored gate specifically designed to meet your needs.
The Art of Gate Design
The tools used to build a custom gate vary based on the material’s construction. For wooden gates, boards are cut and measured and then nailed together to create sections. Depending on the style, metal frames or wooden cross sections may be fixed to the boards for increased durability. Any metal pieces will need to be custom-welded.
The best wooden fences are sourced from western redcedar wood (scientifically known as thuja plicata). This wood is rich in natural oils, like thujaplicin, which protect it from moisture and insects. This makes it naturally resistant to rot and eliminates the need for harsh chemical treatments.
Custom metal gates require expert welders. Every angle where two beams meet needs a precise weld. More sophisticated designs—that include intricate patterns like floral patterns and fleur-de-lis spikes—require not only an artistic mind but also a keen eye, steady hands, and a mind for metalworking.
