Hi, thought I'd share a couple of pics of the gates I welded up for my Mum's house to keep the dog off her new car.
They're made of rectangular tube, mitre joins in each corner, with lengths of flat bar welded to the back to provide a lip for the plastic trellis to be bolted against.
All welds are mig welded.
Any feedback welcome
Darin
What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

It looks great Darrin. Did you paint it or get it powder coated? You did a great job of getting it looking square, as you well know carpenters and brick layers combined don't do a very good job of leaving a square opening.
If there was a wood welding rod, then I would be a great carpenter.

Thank you.
I painted the gate before fitting the trellis. The trellis is already in that colour which made the whole job a lot easier. It's funny you mention it being square. I spent a lot of time on that and then when Mum inspected the finished product I got a "it's crooked!" At this point I explained how the concrete falls away from the house!
