Colonial style Driveway Gate.

While modifying the Colonial-Williamsburg Weave in the upper pattern, this Driveway Gate also illustrates one option for managing a soft slope in the driveway grade. Each picket, from right to left, grows increasingly longer, with the bottom horizontal gate rail parallel to the sloping grade.  This is referred to as a 'Racked' Gate, and is an additional 6%

The grade drops approximately 7" left-to-right.

The Colonial Williamsburg Weave was among the original 20 gates designed by Thomas Jefferson for the University of Virginia campus, To see these, click here
