The famous "The gates" exposition in New York Central Park has come, as scheduled, to an end after only 16 days. The 7,500 gates, 16 feet (4,87 meters) tall varying in width from 5 feet 6 inches to 18 feet (1,68 to 5,48 meters) according to the 25 different widths of walkways, on 23 miles (37 kilometers) of walkways in Central Park. Free hanging saffron colored fabric panels, suspended from the gates made of PVC, come down to approximately 7 feet (2,13 meters) above the ground. The gates are spaced at 12 foot (3,65 meter) intervals, except where low branches extend above the walkways. The gates and the fabric panels could be seen from far away through the leafless branches of the trees. Now the gates are removed and the materials and specifically the PVC will be recycled.
