With this Driveway Gate design, the upper wood pickets are held to only
1/2" spacings, with the lower planks spaced similarly, aligning
every third spacing with the upper section. As a 2-1/4" thickness,
there is no steel frame (12' overall width or less). Using only single
6x6 posts, the load is held by joining another set of posts with small
connecting panels. All posts cut flush with the top of the gate with
the post-tops epoxied.
