That's a lytch gate, or a small semblance of one. Originally found at entrance to churches. Was used to rest coffin out of the rain while pallbearers waited to enter for service.

If you can find a willing (and suitable) candidate, I see no reason why you shouldn't use it as a kissing gate.  As long as you are not blocking the entrance or exit of anyone else, and there are no Health and Safety issues to be taken into consideration.
