The center panel is cut on the Maslow. The rest is a standard PVC gate kit for PVC fencing that I picked up at the local Home Depot. I got the idea from multiple sources.
The PVC sheet was suggested in the forums Outdoor Sign for Coffee/Bicycle Shop which led me to looking at ideas for a gate.
Once I saw the products here http://www.islandcreekdesigns.com/coastal-porch-railing-panels I knew I had to try making a custom design myself.
I purchased the outline from https://www.etsy.com/shop/RoyalPixels
I may be handy, but I don’t think of myself as artistic and at a price of $3.40cn which worked out to $3.44us for me it was absolutely worth the money.
I did the CAD/CAM in Fusion 360, free for users like me, which if you can get past the extreme learning curve, is totally worth using for more complicated projects. They now have a Maslow g-code post processor that I got from here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/hsm-post-processor-ideas/a-fusion-360-post-processor-for-maslow-cnc/idi-p/7796167 It seems to work well, but this is the only time I have used it.
The PVC material at the local Home Depot is only available in 1/2 inch sheets. The original slats that the gate is designed for are 7/8 inch thick. this led me to a two layer design that allowed for easy painting of the outline. I made the cutout in a full 1/2 inch thick sheet and then I made the other sheet with a 1/8 in recess all the way around the edge to fill the back, you can see this in my earlier picture. I painted the face that would be in the middle grey to make the image easily visible. I sandwiched the 2 layers of material into the gate kit the same way the slats would have been inserted. The gate kit was designed with a full size fence panel in mind so the weight difference of the hollow PVC slats to the solid PVC insert was not a problem.
Notes on Fusion 360 free: Read the section under STARTUP: for home and hobby use which is most of us.
