So here's my dilemma, I'm doing a show that requires a gate, specifically this one if you want to be historically accurate. It's a gate to a textile mill. Late for work, you get shut out.
Because of time and budget and lack of welding skill I can't make it from metal. My only ideas thus far have been PVC and or wood. I'm not married to the idea that it needs to look like this, it just has to close and have bars. I'm trying to decide if it will be easier to go with wide spaced slats of some kind so you can still see through it, and trying to figure out how to get a look that will work out of wood without having a lathe. Any suggestions on how to approach this? I've been to busy with the rest of the set to sit down and think this one out yet.
