Gated Entry


I really like the look of this old gate and the fact that it is wired to the post on the hinge side and tied shut with baling twine. With the weed growing up through it, I don't think it gets opened very often! ;-)

    I really like this old gate! I could see a clematis climbing up it...wouldn't that be pretty?!

    Love old wooden things, and this gate fits the bill. Your pictures are so lovely!

    and look where the handle is...if it had been round, I'd say it was a Hobbit door!! Nice find~

    The weathered look and neglected feel are what drew me to it! :)

    Another instance of a fence telling a story? In this case, maybe one of thrift or solving one problem and moving on to the next. Actually this gate would be quite lovely if it were in a differnet place and hung more carefully.

    Looks like some of the fix-its here at NoDak Herefords! Yes, duct tape, twine & wire are still commonly used to make quick repairs!

    Faye,
    I think that is what made me notice it to begin with, the potential it has!

    Nancy,
    Yes, it is certainly well made!
