Picket Gates

A beautiful "picket" gate! Photo via pinterest; Ollie Tomlinson.

A picket gate I designed for between our privet hedges thirty yrs. ago, recently repainted...

Alex & Leif on our picket gate when newly built from pressure treated 2" & 4" wood, by Bill.

I have also used Benjamin Moore's "Woodluxe" solid stain in "Peach Yogurt" on 2 similar cedar (1 1/4" ripped boards) trellises Bill built, going on the sides of Leif's shed.


Most every Mother's Day I was able to pick a small project for our family home & my side exterior tall trellises were one of the first. This year we will hang repurposed trellises for Leif on Mother's Day. 
Below is the first pair of trellises I designed, with notched & flush joints.



"New Dawn" climbing rose which is enormous now and bloomed four times last summer.
