The inimitable Craftsman style Drive Gate in Bel Air. A bevy of floating panels separated within joined mid-rails and stiles.   Hence an inordinate amount of mortise and tenon joinery going on here.

Restricted by the given overall width, we have grounded our entire assembly with a single Column.  Had there been more width available, we might have flanked the drive gate with another column on the right and and yet a third on the far left, against an existing stucco wall, leaving the pedestrian gate to hinge off a modest 6x6 post.

A common, and forgivable, weakness is to accentuate the gates with an oil stain.  In this application, however, we might best consider our gate assembly in a more modest role by giving it a color that is more in keeping with the precedent of the house.  We're after the overall affect, where the sum of the various contributions preferably don't upstage the balance of the whole.  Perhaps the olive green  we see within the window sashes and bay roofline.
