How exactly from the point of view of technology the gates and the gate are made, which is not known in the photo, but the result is excellent. With confidence we can only say that the master did it. Presumably, the outline of the painting was originally applied to metal sheets and then worked out with a punch.
Such a metalworking process as a punch allows you to create very interesting decorative things. In this case, the amount of work suggests the use of a hammer. The artist’s brush also worked hard here, judging by the harmoniously selected tones. The whole fence is not visible in the photo, but judging by the brick risers, gates with such a landscape are designed to visually compensate for the massiveness of the fence itself.
What does a garden or a summer cottage begin with? From beautiful flower beds or evenly decorated beds?

Here are some photos of, in my opinion, well-made wickets. It is clear that there may be millions of options, but maybe from this dozen you will like something. Some can be made by oneself, others can be ordered, the main thing is to have your own idea.
For guests to have unforgettable impressions of visiting your site, creative wicket is enough. Like this one in the photo, for example. A vivid illustrative example of the use of a tool that is not to be used directly for its intended purpose. And the creative thinking of the owner, of course.

Garden arches are often used to frame paths, as in this case, or you can use it to draw up the entrance to the garden. Installed alternately, the arches emphasize the calm and comfort of the alley. Of course, if size allows. Sometimes these structures serve as a symbolic border of sites. If the arch is not passable, the bench mounted under the arch will look very cozy. Here you can relax, especially under the canopy of blooming greenery.
Arches are made of various materials, from solid ones made of stone and brick, to simple aerial structures from reinforcement bars. Let's consider the last option.
“Pencil gigantomania” - as one lover of country creative called this trend. Indeed, of huge colored pencils that are not real, of course, now they also make fences with gates, and all sorts of benches, and even paint the batteries like that. So, in principle, the idea is not new, but always lively and relevant.
In the photo we see a gate designed in the form of a set of pencils with an eraser in addition. It brings back memories of school years, and, definitely, causes a smile. This idea was probably original a couple of years ago, and maybe more. But here’s an eraser ... Is this a mailbox or something? Although you can dream up with an eraser, and make support pillars in the form of school rulers.
