Let me make one suggestion. If you're wanting a gate built, reach out to a few local school FFA programs. Lots of times the kids need projects. You will probably just have to cover materials and maybe a donation to the school program. The kids will get experience and maybe be able to enter it in the county show before the gate is delivered. Plus, schools have incredible equipment now days to do cutouts or whatever you might want. We had a nice 16' gate made and hung by our school. I think it was about $500 (total material and donation).

Y’all have some nice entrances
Mine is simple but my road curves at about 50 yards thru so you can’t see my house
I also have a game camera facing down the driveway toward the house to catch cars/license plates coming and going. Amazing the variety of animals I see on it.
Got a photo of a big coachwhip snake last week!

If you or anybody else is going this route just remember a couple of things.
it is student built
that means it won't be done as fast a normal shop (atleast double maybe even triple the time)
it may not be perfect
most of the times the kids working on it will have tons of pride in the finished project!
