The Balmain Classical Picket Pedestrian Gate

The Balmain is a traditional open picket pedestrian gate with 90mm pickets running the full height, giving a true cottage-garden look at the front path or side gate. It stays open and light rather than private, making it the classic choice for a picket-fence frontage. Handcrafted with mortice and tenon joinery from plantation timber.
