This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Metal Working.

For this BB, you will be making a decorative arbor or entry for a gate!

Here is what one might look like:

(source: eBay)

Point range for this BB is 8 to 16.  A typical decorative arbor would earn 8 points.  Something from a castle would be 16 points.

Minimum requirements:
 - Pretty enough  that you're likely to get 4 ooohs and aaaahs from visitors each year
 - You build the arbor from raw materials
 - Some parts (hinges, latches) can be purchased

To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
 - The supplies you're starting with
 - Partway through the build
 - The finished decorative arbor or entry for a gate
