 A
temporary embedded jamb mounted to the block core. The stonemason
sets his irregular stone to the jamb template, which is replaced
when the CPW jambs arrive with the gate. The jamb thickness
is the depth of the stone, plus 1/2", allowing the gate free swing. |

 |
||
| Option #1 All-wood. Driveway Gates at 12-ft or less opening |
|---|
Drive Gates of 12-ft or less
overall width mount with the same hinge configuration as the Pedestrian
Gates. 4-1/2" bronze
ball-bearing butt hinges. They are surface-mounted to both
the gate and the post or jamb. The gate arrives with
the hinge screw-holes pre-bored to insure, primarily, that you do
not hang the gate backwards.Why? Because
we want air and light on all surfaces of the gate and a key ingredient
to the gate's long lifeline |
||
 |
||
| For
automated gates, the armature style motors are sufficiently rated and
the most common choice before getting into the wider, steel reinforced
spans of greater weight. There are several links for more information
in the Reference Link table at the bottomof the page. |
||
 |
| Option #2 12-16-ft overall width. Driveway Gates surface-mounted to exposed steel frames. |

| With surface motor arm |
Typical

the dimensions for the steel frame to insure it aligns with the stiles
and rails of the wood gate. The wood gate simply surface mounts to
the steel frame. Site hinge systems weld off the exposed steel frame. |

The type of hinge system
is at the discretion of the installer. CPW provides necessary
plates along the gate hinge edge to accommodate the preferred methods. All
methods require columns that are steel core. |

The

the wood edge. They are set to the dimensions provided by the
installation contractor and will be what he welded his hinge system
to. |

| .Option #4 Sliding Driveway Gates To 16-ft overall width maximum |
|---|
The Sliding Driveway
Gates are available only as two gates leaves surface-mounted to a
single-span exposed steel frame. You much have the parallel
clearance equaling the gate span. The gate rides on a 1" V-Track
installed into the driveway surface and extending the span of the
slide. If the grade is sloped, this V-Track is installed level by
either leveling the grade or supported by vertical legs. A
secondary track runs parallel to the V-Track at approximately 2'
height. This is the alignment track. A pair of dual rollers
are mounted to the steel frame, with the dual rollers riding on each
side of the alignment track. As the gate slides, the rollers
maintain the vertical alignment without coming into contact with
the wood gate itself, which can blemish the wood finish over time. |

| Option #5 Mounting to CPW Wood Gate Columns |
|---|
CPW Columns arrive with
one side temporarily in place. Removed on site to allow the
column to slip over a wood or steel post. The columns are sized
with blocking to fit your specified site post. The standard
outside dimension is 10-1/8" square. Lighted columns arrive
with the low-voltage fixture in place and the wiring left stubbed
out at the bottom of the column for functioning to the source. |

provides the steel plate mounted to the top of the gate stile. |

(The CPW Porch Swing
represents the only product that bears some attention to physical
liability. Please take care to hire someone sufficiently qualified to install your swing. This would involve assessing the overhead supports for proper load-bearing properties. |

assembled. Requiring
only the connection to the I-Bolts and the overhead support. |
The
swings with rope supports arrive with the rope bundled. The
connections to the I-Bolts on the swing is made easy with the Clevis
Connectors provided and in place. The connection at the ceiling
requires crimping the provided brass crimps, securing the rope to
the overhead connection. This
often can require either a bench vise or large channel locks. |

The lighted Garden Columns
ship with a low-voltage fixture in place and the wiring stubbed out
at the bottom for functioning to the source. If you are bringing
low-voltage to the columns (eliminating the code requirements for
an 18"-deep trench and conduit), be sure to notify CPW of this
and we will modify the specifications of the fixture. |

and installation contractors within the San Francisco Bay area who
have worked with CPW in the past: Although CPW Gates are made for a patronage all over the country, we no longer offer recommendations for automation contractors or installation contractors outside the San Francisco area. Call any of those below for a site visit. Explain to them which CPW Gate you are interested in. They will check in with CPW to discuss any specifications regarding the site and provide you a quote. This is in addition to the CPW Gate itself. If your project is more involved and requires, say, the construction of columns and various other aspects that are beyond the scope of an Automation Contractor, you might call Brian Van Rheems of Provident Construction(see below) to oversee your entire project. He is among the most highly regarded contractors CPW has ever been involved with. |
