Fake 145

Another fake gate, although not as fake as the one noticed a couple of years ago at reference 2.

So we have a gate post (left) of white wood, that is to say some kind of pine, stained brown for durability. Then we have a gate (right), seemingly made of solid endangered species, that is to say some kind of tropical hardwood, with a new-to-me black hinge fitting above.

But the vertical element of the gate, immediately below the black fitting, is not solid at all, rather a composite, with two outer pieces and one or more inner pieces. Not sure whether the point of composite is that it is actually stronger than solid or whether it is just to avoid the bother of cutting mortices. Perhaps both?

While the thin lid, presumably intended to deter water from seeping into the joints of the composition, looks a bit silly. They might have done better to make a proper feature of it.
