Advice: Driveway Gate's Height & Width

[rachel]

Hi Master
The width of my garden is 19 ft.
Is it suitable for the auto gate to be 5ft 6" (height) x 16ft (width)
The remaining 3ft will be for the 2 pillars flanking this gate.
Kindly advise.
Thanks a lot.

These are some of the considerations:-
1. Even under the Indian art of Vastu; their main concern is thatespecially the interior space of a home should have good measurements.
2. Feng Shui does not even go into Para 1.
3. Furthermore, what you have mentioned is at the external of your actual home i.e. the site: garden and entrance area.
4. Just look at it, your main gate area will have "holes" or openings - unlikethe building of the home itself.
5. A rule of thumb in Feng Shui is that onecan or could or may use a simple standard of 17 inches (or roughly 43cm).
6. Thusif you want to consider auspicious width, then any multiples of 17 inches is considered very auspicious.
Note: every 17 inches is = equal to a Feng Shui "foot". And 17 inches by 17 inches square and if one divides it into two equal triangles; each of the triangle is considered as a magic square.

7. Frankly, if you do use the Feng Shui ruler for your main gate.. erh.. don't quote this site.. as some people may think that I have dementia or too crazy and only eat, sleep and think only about the Feng Shui ruler.
8. In my opinion; what you are trying to do, is peanuts. To think big; or go for the bigger picture, I feel there are more productive things to do than this .... "obsession" with the Feng Shui ruler...
