Several gates were created for the new home of novelist Isabelle Allende

  The Design objective was to provide privacy from Isabel's adoring readership while in turn linking the aesthetics to the spanish colonial architecrue of the house.

  UThere is not a lot of detail to the Driveway gate #6, nor it's favorite partner, the Pedestrian Gate #29. And yet they are two of the more popular products in the CPW line. Partly the privacy offered and partly the link to Spanish Colonial architecture, which is so prominant in california. Our east coast patrons are not nearly so keen on the #6.

The full installation and automation of this gate and innumerable others in the Bay Area, was accomplished by Rick Dentoni of Automatic Gate Installations at 408-369-1249 or by contacting rickdentoni@yahoo.com. Rick covers primarily the peninsula south of San Francisco and this hinge system is relegated to those gates with an exposed steel frame (anything over 12' overall width between columns)

Drive Gate #6-1

  Driveway gate #6-1 is a rare wintry scene in the higher ekevations of Los Gatos California.
Here we have a 16' overall width between columns, with the steel frame embedded or invisible to the eye. Formerly Option #3, we have recently discontinued the embedded steel gates.

Our patron tells us the finish is Olympic Maximum Semi-Transparent Stain, Espresso.

Columns are hammered copper & brass that clads a block platform wrapping 6x6 steel post cores.

 The solid panels are individual planks milled and joined to a single panel that floats within the gate's framework.  The panel is surfaced on both sides and a net 3/4" thickness.  The joint itself is shown below. This is NOT a store-bought tongue-and-groove product.
