CUSTOM WOOD GARDEN ARBOR 14-3
Mill Valley, CA
W/keystone + embedded wiring
Arbor 14-3 illustrates a never-ending quest for improvements and revisions. Here we replace the standard mounting caps with a pair of cross-beams (1-3/4″T x 6″W), spanning the site posts for a simpler installation sequence and a more secure mounting procedure to the posts.
We also have a center lighting fixture with the wiring stubbed out as shown, and embedded within the arbor for a release on the far right corner of 12′ + feet to junction with the power source.
Rough opening width on entry at 48″ x 56″ foyer depth. 180º arch.

CUSTOM WOOD GARDEN ARBOR 14-1
Sausalito, California
W/keystone.
The original garden arbor with arches 14 from a home in Marin County, CA, showing flanking panels on either side of the gate/arbor, as well as ‘foyer’ panels within the depth of the arbor entry. Although we will often include a keystone, it is now inlaid to the arbor truss instead of as shown below.
The muted sepia exposure is not an attempt to be arty; this was back when the very first digital cameras were introduced, eliminating the time-consuming process of shooting slides, developing the slides, and scanning them into digital formats. There was no Photoshop to edit or alter the exposure and a good reminder how, to the woodworker, photography was another skill to be mastered.
