New Entry Gate - Part 3

Yesterday, I coped the last horizontal pipe for the new entry gate and welded it in place.  Afterwards, I used my grinder and a wire wheel to clean surface rust from the new pipes.  I wiped them down with mineral spirits and a towel.  Once dry, I rolled on some Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer.  I'll allow this to dry and then paint the pipes with Rustoleum Semi-Gloss Black paint. 

The pipe fence is 56" high matching that of the piping on other parts of the fence.  The distance between the vertical pipes is 8' just like all the other piping.  The result is that everything matches very well... but there is a concern.

The road is crowned a little where the gate will go.  The gate itself is about 51" tall so I only have about 5" of area under the gate so that it is still level with the top of my new fence.  I think the gate will not fit and look right unless I get the skid steer and regrade the road so I'll need to add that to my list of things to do.

At this point, I'm left with painting the pipes, installing fence material, regrading the road, and then drilling holes to mount the 14' gate.
