A double-leaf gate under a serpentine top rail, with pyramid studs marching along the top and bottom rails and narrow panels of formed scrollwork standing between the balusters. Hung between cut-stone columns beneath live oaks.
The Tampa Gate works with three things: a top rail that rises and falls in a shallow wave, a run of pyramid studs along the solid rails, and narrow panels of formed scrollwork standing the full height of the open field. The scroll is rationed rather than spread — vertical strips of it with collared bars either side — which is what keeps the wave of the top rail the first thing you read from a moving car.
It is the right choice where the setting is already doing the work. Against stonework and mature oaks, a quieter gate finishes the entrance instead of competing with it.
