Gigi and Adlai Means have dinner in, situated before the telly and bent over the coffee table in their robes and house slippers. It’s Oscars night and dizzying images on the telly of stars and celebrities in gowns and tuxes posing for paparazzi and Gigi muses, aloud:

–“They live such exciting lives.”
–“Let’s have a party,” Adlai says, unable to stand her long face. “We’ll invite everyone.”
–“A dressy party,” Gigi says. “Satins and silks and feminine manes.”
–“Topcoats and vests and walking canes.”
–“A garden party, and dinner for eight.”
–“A moonlight party, within the gate.”
–“For our guests of eight.” –“On the terrace inside the gate.”
–“I’ll call everyone.”
–“All eight.”
–“We’ll build a new wall, with a skillful trowel.”
–“To flatter our new Gate . . . by the masterful Prowell.”

Most local pool codes require the wood gate to open out, away from the pool. Because they must also be self-closing, and be equipped with a lockable devise beyond the latch itself. This devise is commonly required at a height above 48″ and out of reach of children. It is either a keyed dead bolt with a thumb turn on the inside, or as shown below with the Magna Latch Top-Pull Safety Latch (Not provided by Prowell)
Finish applied by homeowners.

Below left:
Garden Gate design #10-5 with the jambs showing us that when the columns are an irregular stone cladding, the Prowell wooden gate jambs are mounted directly to the block core and the stone then set to the jambs. This requires a measurement from the block core to the proudest, or deepest stone. Prowell will provide jambs that are that dimension, plus 1/2″ to clear any stone for an easy unobstructed swing. The installer or stone masons will set a temporary or mock jamb to their block core, allowing them to continue with the construction while the gates are in production.

Below right: a better photo of a Prowell jamb set to an irregular stone column. The jamb is shown wrapped with a weatherizing tape.

See Product Specifications for more information on jambs and irregular stone columns.

Through the inviting threshhold and along the meandering approach with meadows on the left and woods on the right buried in the nether-reaches of Far Hills, New Jersey, exists the pair of #10-6 gates, guarding the pool.

(Upper pattern, lower solid panel)

An alternate gate design for the same commission as #10-1. Similar in its upper grid layout, but with a lower solid panel shown here.

Claremont, CA

The Grid-Weave wood fence panels in Claremont, CA were developed specifically to compliment the gate #10. But also to hold their own against the sheer muscle of repeating stone columns.

Visiting this site 12 years later and pleased to find both the gate design and fence panels holding up as if they were installed the day before.

Look, don’t be naive. Evil exists. Currently there are reports circulating of a band of terrorists combing our decent cities in search of, well . . . gates. Yes, gates. While you eat dinner and while you are combing your hair and yes, while you are flossing your teeth, your joint is being cased by professional thugs. Their plan? To steal your wood gate. To add this prize to a growing, sizable collection of gates stashed somewhere in the caves of an Allegheny wilderness. Why? Well, they are thugs, yes, but not stupid. They are sitting on their collection, waiting patiently, and as each day passes and the value of a Prowell gate grows exponentially, they make lists of the commodities only money can buy: chaps, masks, gloves, goggles, matches, bug repellent, paperback novels . . .

So keep a watchful eye. It’s your gate, not theirs.
