Architectural Gallery  Chose an absolutely beautiful day to fit the gates. After spending a day getting the foundations dug,the concrete poured and left to set for a week, we have finally got the gates installed. The client is delighted and is eagerly awaiting the next set that are based on an Alexander Calder sculpture.  Many thanks guys, The paint

Many thanks guys, The paint i used was a hi-build vinyl, that was hand painted to each disc( each colour is a separate disc attached to the disc beneath it.) The gates were very heavy as a result of the number of steel discs, so the foundations were 800mm deep and 400mm wide and 1m long. There was a 150mm pad onto which the post and plate sat on, then we mixed and poured 1 ton of concrete into the holes and allowed that to set before fitting the gates. Probably overkill on the foundations but i would rather have a belt and braces job! |

questions
they are great. too often metal i see has no color. i love the color choices. so what did you use for paint?
and.. how deep are the holes?
