Default Disc gates fitted

After spending a day or so digging for foundations and pouring concrete, we chose a beautiful day to fit the gates. The client was delighted with them and is now eagerly awaiting his next set!.

nice looking gates, inovative design, except around here we have a few MORONS, who would welcome the targets for target practice.

I agree with everyone else, beautiful work, Adrian.

I'll have to disagree with Jr. though, morons are Everywhere, not just in your neck of the woods.

Is that the gate to a mushroom farm?

Nice. Very unusual, but nice.

Wow Adrian!! Those are great- both completely jumping out at you and yet still fitting in with the surrounding greenery! Did you paint them yourself, what kind of paint did you use? Look forward to seeing the next set!
