Profile   John's Gates is owned and operated by John Forrest and is located in Rocky Mount, Virginia.  John is a master carpenter formerly from Bowdoin, Maine, and brings 35 years experience and talent to the area.  John is also a licensed real estate agent in the Commonwealth of Virginia.   Because John operates with a low overhead, John's Custom Gates' are priced well below that of the competition.  Prices range from $600.00 for a 36" by 48" gate similar to gate #1 to $900.00 for a 36" by 60" gate similar to gate #4, built from cedar.  Double gate prices vary with design, but average an additional 75% added to the cost of a single gate, provided they are the same design.  Cedar is the desired wood species due to its relative light weight compared to that of hardwood, such as teak or Ipe.   Drawings can be submitted by email for pricing. Shipping is available by UPS ground.  NOTE: Some items can not be shipped via UPS, due to size and weight and restrictions.  Shipping and handling rates are subject to change without notice.
