Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate | Fabrication Drawings
Scalloped-top variant of the timber picket single swing gate: the ledges stay level while the picket tops trace a concave dip or convex arch across the leaf. Same ledged-and-braced construction, one leaf spanning the full opening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What opening widths does the Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate support?
The Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate accepts opening widths from 900 mm to 2,400 mm. Enter your exact site measurement and the engine recomputes all frame members, battens or slats, and dimension lines to match.
What heights can the Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate be?
Heights range from 900 mm to 2,100 mm. Left and right heights can differ to accommodate raked or sloped ground. The drawing recomputes automatically for any height within the range.
What do I get in the drawing pack?
Each drawing pack is an A4 PDF with orthographic views (front elevation, side elevation, top view, and isometric), full dimension lines, extension lines, and a professional title block. You also get a live 3D preview in the browser and optional STEP file export for CAD software.
Can I use this drawing for fabrication?
Yes. Dimensions are computed to sub-millimetre precision from a true 3D solid model, not approximated from a template. Print the PDF at actual size, hand it to your fabricator, and build from it. Change any input and the entire drawing regenerates in about 60 seconds.
How long does it take to generate a Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate drawing?
Around 60 seconds end-to-end. Geometry computation runs server-side in a CadQuery process with a 30-second per-request timeout; PDF rendering and download account for the rest. If you change a dimension, regeneration takes the same ~60 seconds — there is no manual redrafting step.
Can I save and reload my dimensions for the Scalloped Timber Picket Single Swing Gate?
Yes, on the Fabricator tier. Saved jobs store every input you entered and reload the configurator in one click, so you can revise a quote, regenerate a clean PDF, or branch a design for a similar customer without re-typing dimensions. The free Explorer tier doesn't persist jobs, but you can still copy your inputs out manually.
