    Would like to build a moongate as the entrance to my veggie/orchard garden. These are traditional for Chinese gardens/parks. They symbolize the movement to a more contemplative place. Since my garden is my 'maintainer-rejuvenator' space, I have been longing for one for years. Have been unable to locate any ideas that are not expensive for constructing the 'moon' portion. Due to animals, I'll set the arch behind my fence gate. Have thought I could use the outer rims of several out of date TV dishes, with spacers between the rims-but have no source yet. Another idea I had was to request that a welding shop bend a section of steel or iron pipe for me. This, I would set in concrete.

    Would appreciate any ideas. cella jane ky/z6
