Cr. D

I made my gate miniature for two days. Before I realized rolling gate is not possible to build with the materials which I could have. To make rolling gate I need some small wheels or small circular things. But I didn’t have it and couldn’t find in Mongolia. Thus, I changed my gate design to a hinged gate and drew the new sketch. I started this work on November 19, and there was a problem. I bought a strong adhesive, but it melted polystyrene. I couldn’t attach polystyrene with a wooden chopstick. I tried to find another way to stick polystyrene with a chopstick. But there was no way. Finally, I just poked chopsticks to the polystyrene (The chopsticks were the poles and polystyrene was the ground). Because the chopsticks weren’t attached to the polystyrene, it kept swaying and was weak. But it could hold the gate. I kept making gate. First, I made a walkway gate. It is made with black polystyrene and has a window. I stapled it to the wooden poles instead of sticking with adhesive and it worked successfully. After I made a walkway door, I made a gate for drivers. It is almost similar to the walkway gate. It is just bigger and has more windows. In addition, the driveway gate has a crossbar.

I connected the gates (a walkway gate and a driveway gate) with staples. It worked well and helped me a lot. Also, I had enough big polystyrene to be a ground for gates.

As I said, there was a problem, but that was not a serious problem. My adhesive melted the polystyrene, so I just poked the poles to the polystyrene and the poles could hold the gates.

If I have a chance to do it again, I would like to try a rolling gate. I will try to find small wheels. If I made a rolling gate, it would be nice. Also, I like to make nicer gate. Mine is not perfect although it works. I would like to make stronger gate.
