A
house at the end of a street. A house at the end of very nice
street in a very nice neighborhood. A meticulously designed and cared
for house. And yet where is the house? Gigi's
house. To the approaching visitor or guest or even passersby, the house
is NOT what first greets one upon approach. It is, of course, the Wood
Fence. The
Fence. Exposing itself in all its glory to the social graces of
a home, a neighborhood, a community. "Well hello. How nice to see you. Won't you please come in?" "Why thank you, Gigi. " |

Below, the front walk, the length of which often constitutes our Gigi's only veritable exercise in the course of a given day. Sashaying it's length to fetch her daily mail at the entry gate. Touching the gate. Pausing, often, to caress the entry gate as if summoning beauty, summoning it back down the long walk to the house. |

 |
| Okay,
if we consider the property from this vantage, it appears as nothing
special and CPW has certainly been a part of improvements to properties
that far far exceed this one. But do not tell Gigi. It
is her castle, where she is at one with herself and the universe and
the her fence. |

| CPW's Wood Fence #3-4 on a corner lot in South Chicago. A house of some historical significance that has been renovated and polished but for the single section of the original fence, which appears to stand as a pridefull reminder of its historical roots. Installed in 2009, CPW's Garden Fence has weathered to a subtle gray. To help illustrate the fine line regarding finishes on a front fence, imagine this if it were painted the bluish color of house body or the whote of the trim or the earthy tone of the brick. The result would be a fence that is far more visually established in a neighborhood thwre there appear to be no other front fence-lines. Allowing it weather and disappear somewhat into the landscape and resulted in a more muted presence. |

 |
| With a Garden Fence that has a front-and-center assembly hugging the walk, there is the courtesy
of an open picket design and an overall height that prevents its segregation
from the neighboring lots. This is important: these
are old, established neighborhoods with long-term residents unaccustomed
to bordering privacy fences. |
