A typical cropped example of the Craftsman Wood Gate 38.

San Diego, CA

A straight forward photo that illustrates the basic pattern of the Arts and Crafts garden gate 38. The pattern varies to accommodate different gate widths. The same basic layout, but for the slight changes when the wider widths requires additional pickets, as illustrated in several examples below.

We’ll include a ‘before’ photo of the house, simply because it’s charming.

(With the upper open mortised squares)

Arts and Crafts Garden Gate 38 represents the original of this design, created for a newly renovated Craftsman home belonging to the former, long-time manager of the Grateful Dead.

(No open mortised squares)

Wood gate 38-1 as double gates. Because of the wonderful, but irregular stone, the jambs were mounted to the column’s block core. A measurement was provided from the block to the outermost edge of the stone. Prowell created jambs that were 1/2″ thicker, or deeper, than the provided dimension, allowing free swing and preventing the gate from striking or binding on the stone. — Our overall opening is 79″, and at a height of 83″.

A closer look at the upper pattern for the Arts and Crafts garden gate 38-1.

The G640 Lariat Grips from Rocky Mountain Hardware are 16″ C to C, with back plate escutcheons G684 at 24″ length x 3-1/2″. Available with the backplate, or mounted directly to the gate.

The inside face of Garden Gate 38-1 as an example of gates without the usual latches, preferring instead the Rocky Mountain grips upon approach and on the inside. Also shown is the #80-100 Cane Bolt. The 50-400 clasp can be secured with a padlock, when away for the weekend. Not a combination we see too often, simply because it disallows entry from the street, and if you disengage the clasp to allow that entry, the gates have no means of latching to a closed position.

We include the wood gate 38-4 simply to illustrate that not all of our Garden Gates are flanked by Prowell’s fence panels nor do they all adorn mega-mansions. A hog-wire fence isn’t normally associated with an aesthetic border, and yet it can work, and in fact does appear to work in this setting.An example of a site photo we’d like to see in another couple of years when the fencing is softened with climbing vines.

Santa Barbara, CA

The side wood gate 38-4 illustrates how it is acceptable to couple the open style of the #38 with a clean wire fence construction.

Arts and Crafts garden gate 38-5 features an augmented grid off the bottom rail and borrows the partial arch of Gate Style #53

. . and in doing so has apparently attracted the attention of the local paparazzi.
