Highway Gate Criteria
keep appearance similar to existing fence
metal posts, sunk into concrete; physically separate from fence; possibly encased in 5/4 board for appearance
lightweight gate - excessive spring force not needed to keep closed
Framework made of metal piping with 5/4 board as facing?
Some way for wind to blow thru
install just east of existing fence line? OR
widen existing fence openings for new structure (gate and dedicated posts)?
consider making them handicapped width (not just a 36" opening, but an opening through which one could push a 36" wheelchair without the huge gate getting in the way)
Framework made of metal piping with 5/4 board as facing?
investigate enhanced (remotely controllable/monitorable) locking system?
consider something on top of each opening to make it difficult to climb
(I like combo of lattice and rose bushes)
determine whether any grade alterations are necessary (raising gate high enough for paver stones?);
Height adjustments also to adjacent fencing?
(Paver stone walkway from MBA pavement to the gate; maybe also a "landing" on the highway side)
recommend any adjacent shrubbery removal so the rose bushes get sunlight
