* Spans beyond 60" are best designed as double gates. If you have, for example, a 72" opening, you will price two gates from the first column above, or a single gate flanked by two Prowell Fence Panels. Soans of 60" are often designed as Double Off-Set.

Extraneous Notes and Explanations (Please see Product Specifications for comprehensive explanations of various details) |

| * All Garden Gates are shipped unfinished, unless otherwise stipulated * All Garden Gates are made to your specific, dimensional needs* Wood Gate widths 48" or less default to 1-1/2" thickness unless there is an aesthetic preference for 2-1/4" thickness. Add $400 for 2-1/4 thickness. (Individual Wood Gate widths between 48"to 60 default to 2-1/4" thickness) * The net gate width will be 5/8" less than the rough opening width between your wood posts. (3/8" swing clearance + 5/16" hinge clearance) * Gates ship with the hinge holes pre-bored. The net gate widths are designed with the hinges to be surface-mounted to both the gate and the post or jamb, creating 1/4" clearance between the gate and the hinge post. It is essential to allow air flow and light on all six planes of the gate. Although Western Cedar possesses excellent properties and tannins that are inherently resistant to fungus, by surface-mounting the hinges we eliminate any temptation for bacterial fungus to establish itself and develop into dry rot. Commonly illustrated in the bottom rail of, say, a window sash, resting against the windowsill, or a deck board seated on a joist. Both applications create dark, damp environments adored by micro organisms
* Standard Lock-sets: The use of standard 2-3/8"; back-set locks over traditional gate latches (for garden gates) is not recommended. Normal expansion of your gate will occur and the clearance required for a standard 2-3/8" lock-set (1/8"-1/4") puts the gate at risk of becoming wedged against the jamb, requiring the sort of effort with each passage that can damage the gate. We cannot support the integrity of any gate that uses a standard back-set lock-set.; We insist upon the use of Gate Latches with horizontal Drop Bars allowing 3/8" clearance between the edge of the gate and the jamb or post
----------------- If the irregular stone columns already exist, there is the option of setting 4x4 jambs to this surface using threaded rod embedded into the stone with epoxy and fitted onto the corresponding holes in the jambs, and back-filling the light cavities between the jambs and stone with mortar. * No gate is shipped or delivered without first succumbing to a checklist of Quality Controls |
