I am looking for some driveway gate ideas. If anyone has any they would care to share Id like to see them. Anything from basic to extensive, maybe able to merge them together in some way. Also has anyone ordered from King's metals?

Here is what I did to make my two driveway gates.
A bit of a sunburst pattern made of thin wall tubing.
Each side weighs 107 lbs, so they are pretty light.
The posts are 3 inch 1/8 inch wall tubing set in A LOT of concrete.

Simple and very nice. I expected some with the curved top rail. Disconnected did you plasma cut the design yourself or ... If not where can it be found and what kinda price tag does it have?

King Metals are great. If you have any problems with their staff, contact Kathy Speaks, she's the sales mgr and she will handle it. They are very committed to servicing their clients.
