#60
 
 

 

Garden Gate style #60 features grid openings of approximately 4"-5" both vertically and horizontally..

Equal sized grids both vertically and horizontally is not always possible, as illustrated here, and again in #60-3. Because many of you request equal grids, it is worth explaining how the grid count and size is dictated by the Gate width, with the only variable being the width of the bottom horizontal rail.

In the example to the right, we would have had to add almost 3" to the bottom rail width to accomplish equal grids along the bottom. This in itself would have become a disproportionate eyesore and brought more attention to itself than the partial grid we now see at the bottom.

Dictum: Don't circle the block to cross the street. It never works out.

#60-1
  

A view upon approach to Design Gate #60-1 in Marin County, California. Even the narrow flanking Fence Panels to either side of the Wooden Gate make a real difference in creating a visual approach.

Here, it may appear that the gate grids are all equal, both vertically and horizontally, but in fact the bottom-most grids are 1-1/4" taller.

#60-1


Open Grid Entrance Gates offer a more friendly, inviting invitation than the solid privacy gates. You are essentially sharing the beauty of your garden with the neighborhood at large.

Our homeowners elected to have an iron arbor crafted over the designs of a wood arbor. A good choice, as the arbor itself will eventually be completely obscured.

Local San Francisco, Marin, and Sonoma counties can contact the fabulous Griffe Griffiths regarding designing and fabricating metal or copper arbors.

    GARDEN GATE #60-4
      Gate: Base Price + 11%
 
 

The clean and careful lines of a Craftsman Revival centered by the repetitive open grids of the Entry gate #60-4. Set off by the distinction of a WoodRX finish that establishes a subtle, but clear entry.

So what exactly is a revival? A revival, architecturally speaking, is a rendition of any original architectural form. There are many elements in the above home that mimic the Craftsman motif established in the first decade of the 20th century. Mostly in the interior, but here even the length of the overhanging eaves. And yet no real detail or any of the truer elements that signify the style. Therefore, our entry gate offers a much needed touch of detail, as well as helping to push the overall aesthetics to a more noticeable revival.

#60-4

The bottom horizontal grid divider, at 1-1/4" thickness, is joined to the top edge of the bottom rail, which is 1-1/2" thick. Because of the two varying thicknesses, we are able to create equal grids vertically and horizontally without the bottom rail appearing overly muscular.

We'll also add, because there are no secrets, that this was an architect who originally ordered gate style #79, and upon delivery refused to accept the gate because the stain wasn't what he had hoped for. He refused to negotiate. So Charles posted the gate on the basement sale page and sold it for a fraction of it's retail.

Two months later someone ordered the above gate, at exactly the same size and with exactly the same hardware. A double agent, acting secretly, until he came to the shop to pick up the gate and let slip he was hired to pick up the gate by the same homeowner who had refused his gate.

So the gig was up and the homeowner got his Prowell gate, however cladestinely he achieved this goal.

All terribly odd.

Flanked by Fence Panels #19. With the panel on the right extending to 102" net width (the stadard panel maximum width is 60" but for those styles with open grids, as seen here. The repeated joinery of the grids contributes to a concerted strength and ridgity beyond that planks and picket styles.

#60-3

An example of the #60 Design Gate In San Geronimo, CA (West Marin County). Coupled with an adjoining driveway gate and flanking fence panel. If we consider the three as a single assembly, with the horizontal grid dividers aligning to one another, then we must decide which of the three is the center-point. Here, obviously it is the driveway gates, serving to establish the grid size based on the net width of each identical gate.

#60-3

The result with the flanking panel and the pedestrian gate is that, in keeping our horizontal dividers aligned, we must allow for a partial grid on the left and right. This because the net width of the ped gate and the fence panel are not the same as the driveway gate.

If we change the grid size on the panel to create an equal grid layout, we will consequently alter the alignment of the horizontal grid dividers, and thus lose our alignment with the gate.
