All
Garden Gates are made to your specific, dimensional needs. |

Wood
Gate widths 48" or less default to 1-1/2" thickness unless there
is an aesthtic preference for 2-1/4" thickness. Add
$350 for 2-1/4" thickness. |
* |
Individual
Wood Gate widths between 48"to 60" default to 2-1/4" thickness. |

Fabricated
in Clear dry Port Orford and Western Red cedar harvested from sustainable
groves in Oregon and British Columbia. |

The net
gate width will be 5/8" less than the rough opening width
between your wood posts. 3/8" swing clearance + 1/4" hinge
clearance. |

Standard
Locksets: The
use of standard 2-3/8" backset locks over traditional gate latches
(for garden gates) is not recommended. Normal expansion of your gate
will occur and the clearance required for a standard 2-3/8” lockset
(1/4”) puts the gate at risk to become wedged against the jamb,
requiring the sort of effort with each passage that can damage the gate.
We cannot support the integrity of any gate that uses a standard backset
lockset. We insist upon the use of Gate Latches with horizontal
Drop Bars allowing 3/8" clearance
between the edge of the gate and the jamb or post.. |

The
4" ball-bearing
butt hinges commonly orered with the gates are to be surface-mounted
to the gate and post. The
gate will ship with the hinge holes marked and pre-bored Why are the
hinges not mortised flush? One primary reason: In allowing
air flow and light on all six planes of the gate, we essentially eliminate
any temptation for bacterial fungus to establish itself and develop
into dry rot (Commonly illustrated in the bottom rail of, say,
a window sash, resting against the windowsill, or a deck board seated
on a joist. Both applications create dark, damp environments
adored by micro organisms). So, the surface-mounted hinge
is one of several factors lending itself to the long life of a CPW
Gate. |

Mounting
To Masonry Columns or Walls: |
| |
|
You
will be provided jambs (normally 1-1/2"T x 3-1/2"W: +$175) These mount to your columns
or wall with your installer's preferred method--most often 3/8" x
4" spread bolts. The gate will hinge and latch off these jambs.
Your net gate width, with jambs, will be 3-5/8" less than your rough
opening width between columns or walls. For a pdf sketch of where to
schedule the masonry mounting bolts of the jambs, click

If your columns are
clad with irregular stone, it is best to mount temporary jambs to
the block core and set the stone up to the jamb. This is replaced
with the CPW jambs that arrive with the gate. The CPW jambs must
be the thickness from the block core to the proudest stone, plus
1/2", allowing
the gate to swing open to 110-degrees. This depth dimension from core
to stone face will be required, and called out in your drawings. Below
is an example of an embedded jamb in progress, where the stonemason
uses a mock jamb to set his stone. The jamb is removed and replaced
with the arrival of the CPW jamb and gate. |

If the irregular stone
columns already exist, there is the option of setting a 4x4 jambs to
this surface using threaded rod embedded into the stone with epoxy
and fitted onto the corresponding holes in the jambs, and back-filling
the light cavities between the jambs and stone with mortor. |

For double
gates of 2-1/4" thickness,
we send along the solid bronze Gate stop, in lieu of a wood astragal
applied to the face of the fixed-gate stile. If
you prefer a wood astragal as a privacy concern with the 1/2" center
gap, please make that request. |
