WOOD GATES #115-4

Contemporary wood gates style #115-4 with a painted finish. When we know the 115 gates are to be painted, we substitute the upper wenge thru-tenons to cedar.

WOOD GATES #115-4
Belvedere, CA
Belvedere is home to one of the more notable harbors in America. Sloops, ketches, catamarans, and classic rum-runner yachts moored like paintings in the Louvre, positioned against the most breathtaking view of the bay and San Francisco. With this in mind, the architecture of the residence takes on an appropriate seaside flavor, while the contemporary garden gate #115-4 adds a little aesthetic design .

WOOD GATES #115
The original prototype of the postmodern garden gate #115 features horizontal members at 1-5/8″ thickness and wenge vertical thru-tenons at 3/4″ thickness.

WOOD GATES #115
Although the continuous thru tenons on the contemporary wood gates style #115 are aesthetic, they also serve the purpose of stabilizing the horizontal members from bowing and cupping over the years and decades.
Finish: WoodRX ‘Cedar’

WOOD GATES #115
Bethesda, MD
The original wood gates style #115 was created as a speculative pastime in the shop and posted on the Basement Sale page for best offer. It was purchased, along with a series of Fence Panels #39. It’s the photos we look for when posting the prototypes for best offers. The installed and dressed photos are what allows you to envision the design in its full presentation. What has subsequently prompted the dozen or so orders since this photo was first posted, all alone.

WOOD GATES #115-6
Greenbrea, CA (Marin County)
Our #115-6 appears isolated, rising above the stucco wall as if in anticipation of the aesthetic support of perhaps a series of short Pony Panels along the top of the wall. The intent, however, was to create a deer barrier, and nothing more. Contemporary garden gate #115 accompanied by Arbor #9.

WOOD GATES #115-6
Greenbrea, CA (Marin County)
Because the wood gate is supported by posts that are in turn supported by the short height of the stucco walls, we have suggested the Arbor #9 to offer additional stability.

POSTMODERN GARDEN GATE #115-1

The house photo provided by the homeowner. Although not what Ben and Charles had in mind when creating the original wooden gate #115, it proves the versatility of the design to fit within the Federalist Revival portico of the south.

Because of the painted finish and the darker background, it’s difficult to see the upper thru-tenons. The photo does, however, illustrate once again the compatability of the #115 with horizontal fence-lines.

GARDEN GATE #115–PROGRESS
The process. Drawn toward a design that will compliment a style of postmodern design architecture predicated by plate windows and horizontal planes. An architectural motif that is commonly without defining details. Clean, angular, unfettered. Offering a need for the intimacy of workmanship and design at the entry level with both girth and muscle but with the scrutiny of a somewhat complex system of joints.

GARDEN GATE #115–PROGRESS
Introducing a continuous pair of tenons in a contrasting, durable species. An approach that stabilizes the horizontal members over a given span, while offering a little head-scratching complexity.

The upper slats in the foreground are collected and the two long tenons are fed through. For the eventual assembly, the slats will be separated with spacers to insure the spacing between each slat is equal. The two thru-tenons are not, contrary to popular thought, glued. They are loose tenons that allow the slats to breath freely over the seasons.
In the background Ben works on the pair of gate styles #87.
