CPW'S CUSTOM WOOD GATES

"Come into the Garden, Maud,
   I am here at the gate alone;
--Tennyson--

  CPW's original Garden Gate, titled #7 back when it was first designed for a wonderful family and their home in Ross, Ca. Where it remians to this day.

 A sublime property in Darien, CT, connecting the residence on the right to the outbuilding on the left with two parallel CPW Wood Fence sections to create a bordered garden, safe from snacking wildlife.

 Viewed from the opposite approach and leaving us here at CPW dreaming of this slice of heaven, leaving home in the morning to cross the garden and into the shop. 
--Fence Height:  48"

Garden Gate #7-9
   With a full 180_degree arch.  The slighty deeper shoulders between the gate's stiles and rail and the panel indicateis the only indication upon approach that the gate thickness is 2-1/4"and not 1-1/2".  2-1/4" thickness is a default to widths over 48", and an option available to all widths.

Garden Gate #7-9
   Perhaps the most preferred accompaniment to the gates is a natural hedge.  Sent n from Los Angeles.

  A pair of  #7 Wood Gates flanking this residence in Santa Monica, CA.  On the right, a pair of  Double Off-Set Gates with flanking panels.  On the left, a standard #7 Gate.  Both gates are shown with optional Pattern Blocks.

 
Double off-set Fence Gates.
When there is an overall width that exceeds what is comfortable for a single gate and yet less than what is required for an equal double gate,  a number of options are available. Here, we utilize the Double Off-Set (seen also in G-4 ). The right-side wood gate is fixed in place with a cane  bolt, with the wider, operable gate latching to the smaller gate. This would be a solution to consider for openings of 60", where two 30" gates moight seem a little narrow.

-- Another option is to use a single-span gate.  Gates beyond 42" in width default to 2-1/4" thickness.

-- A third option is to set two 4x4 posts to each side of a centered gate,  flanked by narrow panels to each side, as seen in G-32.

Our Garden Gate #7 mountd to a stump block wall.  Ineffably embellished with ruby slippers and all.

Trading ruby slippers for a Superhero. 
(Often, with irregular stone columns, it can be advisable to mount the jambs directly to the column block core.  The depth betwen the block and the outermost stone is provided and we create the jamb thickness to that, plus 1/2", allowing  the swing to clear the stone. Here however, they ave elected to mount directly to the stone)
