Figs. 65 and 66.—Front View and Plan of Solid Garden Gate.

In many gardens there is a space devoted to the tool-house, potting shed, refuse head, etc. Shrubberies of course hide the unsightly appearance of this particular spot to a certain extent, but it may be found desirable to close the entrance to this part of the garden from the remainder, and the gate illustrated in front elevation by [Fig. 65] is, from its semi-rustic nature, particularly suitable. [Fig. 66] shows a plan and [Fig. 67] is a part back view. The gate is quite simple in construction, and should be of sufficient height to obstruct the view from each side.
