CPW's Garden Gate #57 in San Ramon, CA illustrates the need for Pattern Blocks to  help stabilize the continuous  vertical pickets.  -- Upon closer inspection, we can see the upper veranda rail, and the precedent for choosing the Garden Gate #57, with it's similar design.

The obvious advantages of #57's open design with the contained enclosure of a small courtyard.

A view from inside the courtyard. --The Pattern Block not only stabilize the continuous pickets from bowing or cupping, but add an aesthetic signature to an otherwise redundant design.

Another look at a Gate #57 originally installed in 1997 as one of the earliest examples of the CPW Pattern Blocks. Re-photographed in December of 2010 in Mill Valley, CA.  Shown with fence style #3 Your choice of applying a finish depends on the site, the architecture of the residence, and the flourishing extent of the planting landscape. A finish in itself will not extend the life of a CPW product by a single day. We use clear, vertical-grain, kiln-dried Western Cedar. One of the most resistant wood species to insects and bacteria (fungus and rot), The proper milling grades of western cedar will thrive and survive in any climate, be it northern Minnesota or southern Florida.

And again, on the same property, shown with CPW's Garden Arbor #15.  Another 14-year delayed photograph.

A series of publications featuring Gate style #57 over the years.

The English Garden--- 1998

 

The Independant Journal 1993 The gates were developed over a period of three years during the recession of 1990-1993. This seemingly innocuous little feature, in Marin County's Independant Journal, came at a time when only 3% of the population owned a computer and cell phones were relegated to tycoons.  Charles wouldn't begin coding the CPW web site for another 3 years.  So on this week in 1993, the phone message machine filled to it's capacity every single day for a solid week.

 

San Francisco Chronicle 1997 By now, with this equally innocent feature in the Chronicle, the CPW web site was a seasoned 1-1/2 years mold. All of five pages, with images posted that faced the hurdle of modems running at a whopping 9.6 speed.
