Prowell’s gate design 25 with a curved scallop as a soft radius.
*As a note, Gate style #25 and #8 are identical but for the radius of the top rail. Gate #8 has a full 180º radius, where #25 shows the softer radius. The arbor style #10 , is seen accompanying both the #25 and the #8.

And yet again Lincoln Regards is guilty of overreacting.

Dana Point, CA

Wooden Gate 25 south of Los Angeles, shown with Wood Arbor #10. The arbor arrives as an extension, mounting to your posts with the accompanying caps or invisible threaded rod. For reference, the below gate is 42″ rough opening width between posts x 50″ height from grade to the spring-points (where the scalloped arch begins). Rocky Mountain latch E501

Wood gate design 25-1 as a double gate in upstate Michigan.

As a note, #25 is offered to a maximum 60″ height. Beyond that and the pickets are vulnerable to potential bowing. For gates taller than 60″, the options are to add a middle horizontal rail, or what we call Pattern Blocks, joined between the pickets. An example of Pattern Blocks can be seen on Gate style #57.

After a while you learn to see a photo of a house and its landscape and match it to a location. More or less.
–We can eliminate the plains states because of the tree species and grade.
–And anywhere in the south for the same reasons as well as the architecture. (Except possibly those communities north of Atlanta)
–We can forget all of California and Oregon and most of Washington but for a few areas near Puget Sound. But unlikely given the Colonial / Federal Revival architecture.
—We can dismiss the entire southwest Sunbelt, obviously.
–We can dismiss the northern Midwest and corn belt who would build such a house only if it were a kit and they were relocated from the east.
–We can dismiss KY, TN, MO, OH, IN and WV as it is too formal and manicured with the exception of Lexington, but Lexington mailboxes have equestrian motifs.
—We can dismiss New England because of the Colonial Williamsburg pattern of the railing on the upper terrace.
–And mid-Atlantic states because of the circular portal window and mullions within the steep front gable
–Suddenly the search narrows and a wise assumption would put it somewhere within the DC beltway, which shares a penchant for John Adams Colonial Salt boxes of Massachusetts and Thomas Jefferson’s penchant for his alma mater College of William and Mary and of course Pierre Charles L’Enfant, responsible for the aesthetic signature of the new capital and elsewhere with the Federalism of his French origins.

Where, exactly, within the beltway, is impossible to pinpoint. So . . . checking our database for this order and we see that it was shipped to Davidsonville, MD, close to Annapolis. Which suddenly has Charles reminiscing of Annapolis itself, en route to the Lewes and Rehobeth beaches of Delaware and so many wonderful drives through Maryland and Virginia and one of the many superlatives associated with the Beltway. The accessible road trips.

We depart slightly from the #25 to add a horizontal middle rail on a set of double gates that are 84″ height.

One of the early guinea-pig gates created following the two-year developmental stage back in 1991-1993. For so many years through the 70’s and 80’s there was a circle of patrons in San Francisco and Marin County who steadfastly supported Prowell Woodworks and who were summarily bullied into commissioning these first prototypes for the garden gate.

And yes, those are bowling balls! Charles actually shopped for two matching bowling balls and actually drilled out the mounting holes on his drill press and tapered the arbor to seat itself snugly over the circumference of the balls. Sheesh!

Royal Oak, Michigan

Ending with an unusual application where a pair of gate 25’s serve as interior pet gates, at 36″ height.
