Horizontal wood garden gate 61, with planks at 5-1/4″. Although the horizontal planks are shown as the same 2-¼” thickness as the stiles and rails, we have since revised #61-1 to mitigate the overall weight, with the planks at 1-5/8″ thickness. An aesthetic that is shown in all the below examples of the #61. Spacing between planks from 3/4″ to 1″, depending on the math.
Garden gate 61 is a lumber hog, hence the +20%.

Let’s take a minute to review the reburbished home.

Joseph Eichler was a mid-20th century real estate developer who is largely credited with designing and developing the modern tract homes that sprang up throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in the years directly following WWII. A solution to the multitudes of servicemen and their VA housing loans as an affordable, almost modular step toward a re-entry into peacetime life. The homes are recognizable for their low pitch, vaulted rooflines, cricket valleys, and shed-roof carports, in addition to the less visible lack of insulation, leaking roofs, low-grade single-pane aluminum windows, and of course the introduction of hollow-core interior doors. Sound appealing? Well, as it turns out, their survival has lasted some 75 years and in recent years resurfaced as iconic acquisitions throughout northern California. Below, following a complete renovation.
