Gate shopping: I found a few pair - I think for the back entry - the most affordable of which are pictured second - they are a copy of the gates at the fabulous guest house where I stay in Jodhpur - Inn Season - which a friend of mine made for some German guy six years ago who never came through. My faves so far are those pictured first here, however. I think they may be just the thing - although I await the measurements to be sure they will work.
Of course I still want gorgeous wood ones for the front - feast eyes on those below... Especially the last pair - oooo!
