Prowell hired a so-called photographer off Craig’s List to travel up to the nether reaches of Minnesota for a few photographs. Her qualifications: She claimed to have been married to one of the original Monkees. Later, much later, Prowell does the math and it just doesn’t add up.

In this project, neither Charles nor Ben were ever actually aware of the site application of the various panel layout. The panels were simply ordered as varying widths and heights by a well organized contractor.

Showing our Wood Garden Fence #19-2 as the three centered front decorative screens, flanked by the arbor on the right and the railings on the left. Illustrating how you need only the suggestion of privacy to create a sitting area that feels insulated from the goings ons beyond. Never more true than with an open setting such as this, but not to be ignored even for those in traditional urban neighborhoods. Your patio is not your living room; it is a part of your landscape, and therefore a part of the generally exposed community, such as your neighbors. The confidence of having your tea on the patio with the subtle demarcation of a suggestive visual screen as designed in the Garden Fence style #19.

Wood Fence Partitions #19-7 illustrates the featured insert patterns departing from the normal placement within the outside rows. Because the grids themselves are half-lapped, this makes for a puzzling piece of joinery, prior to fitting the half-lapped grids. Hence the slight up-charge for the standard #19’s.

Ross, California (Marin County)

Defining the need for a Prowell Garden Fence—We approach the property at this first inviting juncture with a hint of what lies beyond—embraced by the defining sensations of this home. An expectation is aroused, culling us into the garden and the surrounding grounds, drawn from this defining structure and its architectural hierarchy. Leading us, ultimately, to those who occupy this space, the very nature of who they are, and the courtesy of their existence. This impression can be dulled, waved off dismissively by the simple rough-hewn need to hammer out a boundary… Or, to the more acquired eye, it can be elevated to an exposure it deserves. Please… please come in. How lovely to see you again.

If looking out from within the house, it was important that the return panel not rise high enough to obstruct the view of the sea.

On an organic site such as this, Prowell’s Wood Fence Panel Designs are intended to create partitions while exposing the surrounding landscape. A solid privacy Fence Design would ultimately defeat the very purpose and beauty of such a site.

One of several photos sent in of the existing home and landscape, seeking a solution toward creating a more insulated environment geared toward outdoor entertaining. Normally, on commissions of this sort, there are phone calls and emails, Charles or Ben mostly listening. Followed by a verbal description and explanation from Charles or Ben, accompanied by costs and timelines. Followed by an on-site carpenter or contractor providing field measurements. Followed by Prowell’s dimension drawings and details. Followed by the homeowner’s suggestions, or immediate approval. Followed by an interim of waiting in the hopper. Followed by, in this instance, reading the V.S. Naipaul novel Bend in the River together with our patron. Followed by the first cut in the shop and suddenly the fun begins, and with each posted in-progress photo, the anticipation is heightened until the day arrives when Freddie, the freight driver, arrives to begin the journey back east. Followed by a few conversations, when necessary, with the site contractor to answer any questions. Followed ultimately by the photos posted here for the benefit of those browsing these pages searching for ideas.
