3D view of a double swing gate with a curved top and timber battens — 3D view from the street.

Drawing scope

Steel frame, timber facing and concealed hinges.

Each leaf is a 100 x 50 RHS frame with a 50 x 50 SHS X-brace. The top rail is rolled to a large radius, so the leaf drops from 1500 mm at the hinge stile to 1105 mm at the centre. Spotted gum battens, a curved timber top rail and a bottom beam are screwed to the frame from the rear.

The hinge pins sit in pockets in the hinge stiles, and the frame and timber run over the pins so the hinges are hidden from the street. The package covers plan and elevations from both sides, the steel frame, the timber layout and batten schedule, part drawings for one leaf and a bill of materials.

Part drawings with cut lengths for every steel and timber member.
A bill of materials per gate, with the right leaf mirrored from the left.
Revision clouds and hold points so open items are closed before fabrication.
