We open with wood fence 16-9, illustrating our amended layout for the Pattern Blocks. Basically, every picket is supported by at least one Pattern Block. No pickets have Pattern Blocks joined to both edges. .

Featuring the top and bottom horizontal rails at the same width.

Pattern Blocks: A solution to stabilize pickets from the potential bowing.

Wooden fencing 16-9 with the Wood Driveway Gates Style #4.
As a note: the drive gates are plumb and level, with the driveway itself on a sloping grade from right to left.

Mill Valley, CA

Custom permieter fence 16-9 from the street. A complicated layout, with uneven sloping grades and loose stone walls. All of it ironed out and resolved by Prowell’s highly regarded recommended installers.

Standard top rail width but more complex Pattern Block layout
Mill Valley, CA

The wooden fence panels where every picket is supported by a corresponding Pattern Block. Although Pattern Blocks are available as an aesthetic for all heights, they are a required feature for heights over 60″. Without them and the pickets are vulnerable over the years and decades to the misbehavior of bowing.

Always nice to glimpse a ‘before’ photo.

No Pattern Blocks

Amedly of multiple Prowell products with the Fence style #16 shown here along with fence style #2o.
Because our homeowner is an architect, we naturally followed his lead and strayed from the standard design to incorporate a segmented upper section as a stand-alone panel–similar to our Pony Panels.  Separated by 1-½”.

And, well . . . the Penguineers, gathered in anticipation of an early winter?

Narrower top rail width but more complex Pattern Block layout

Here we illustrate the Custom Wood Fence Panel #16-1 with the Pattern Blocks at a total height of only 42″. In this example, the Pattern Blocks are totally aesthetic and are not required to stabilize the pickets.

Shown with Gate Design #57-1

Although the pattern layouts are almost infinite, we would prefer, going forward, with patterns adhering to #16-9.

Custom Wood Fence Panels #16-6 as a deck enclosure, along with Gate style #32. The top 2×6 cap is not included by Prowell.

The gate itself is flanked by a pair of black wire grid panels that help to corroborate the open, airy aesthetic of the fence panels.

(Maximum of one joint per panels )
Sonoma County, CA

Wood Fence Panels #16-4 is distinguished by a need for semi-radius fence-lines. Instead of actually creating a laminated bent horizontal rail, the panels are instead joined at junctures between the posts with a maximum of two joints per panel. This, in conjunction with the setting of the site fence posts, can simulate a radius layout by means of joinery rather than laminations.

Joined panels have a maximum width of 36″ width.

Sonoma County, California

Here we see a series of fairly narrow panels with a single radius joint per panel.

Dallas, TX

Wood Fence Panel #16 and Gate in Dallas, TX. The neighborly Fence Design #16 makes a suitable enclosure for a small existing patio.

Custom Wood Fence style #16 is limited to 60″ height. With the uniform spacing between pickets, any variation from a bowed or cupped picket is readily noticeable.

Shown with Garden Gate Style #32.

Dallas, TX

Any of our wood fence designs that provide solid panels would, in this application, have reduced the existing patio enclosure with a much greater sense of diminished space.

Two narrow 10″ flanking Wood Fence Panels serve to offset the gate from the almost identical panels.

Now and again we’re sent a ‘before’ photo. What the homeowner’s are accomplishing is a semi-private courtyard no longer openly exposed to the sidewalk and street.

The courtyard Wood Fence Panels #16 allows light penetration, as well as visibility.

Each leading edge is trued on the joiner before the pickets themselves are ripped initially on the bandsaw to prevent bowing. From the bandsaw, they go through the thickness planer to create the final net width, and from the planer to the drum sander for the finished edge sanding. Although this process weeds out 90% of the potentially bowed pickets, the insistence for true and straight pickets is furthered by the use of the Pattern Blocks joined to each picket such that no single picket is left alone and vulnerable to the ravages of solitude.

The Pattern Blocks are mortised and joined individually to their corresponding pickets. Shown below, the importance of a square layout when clamping to insure the ends of the pickets are even.
