Pretty . . . yes, a pretty little horizontal wood garden gate. But a working gate whose job description is preventing pooch from escaping for a swim in the Tiburon Bay.

WOOD GARDEN GATES #61-2

Atherton, California

Let’s take a minute to review the reburbished home now hosting the Gate #61-2.

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.

How do I build a wood gate?

WOOD GARDEN GATES #61-2–PROGRESS

Showing a typical stile, with its innumerable mortising. Breaching our horizontal wood gate #61 will require more than the average effort.

Because the 61-2 has solid inserts between each rail, we see below the empty mortises that allow the inserts to feed into the stiles.
