A rustic property with little to redeem itself upon approach. Just beyond the treeline, however, rests a view of the Pacific, splayed out below the hills like an intoxicating painting.

Contemporary Outdoor Lighting as a Post Wrap and Driveway Gate Column. White transculent plexiglas. Solid sides.

Gate Columns #6 at a Palo Alto,CA site, offering the full light of an unobstructed plexiglass without grids and patterns.

50-watt fixtures.  If there is not already electricity at the column area, a CPW light-sensor transformer is provided and mounted either at the house and allowing the more lenient low-voltage codes in trenching to the columns.  If power exisits at the column area, the columns can be shipped with a standard transformer mounted within the columns or the light-sensor transformer provided and to be installed somewhere sensitive to the natural light.

For automated Driveway Gates with In-Ground operators, there must be a top pivot hinge.  Here we show the solid face of the column mortised to accept the non-load-bearing hinge bar welded to the steel post and fed through.

Deep in the redwoods overlooking the Pacific to the west and the Silicon Valley to the east, another example of the #6 columns with an almost identical Driveway Gate style #2

We include this photo to illustrate how a pair of sliding gates can be surface-mounted to a single-span steel frame. The existing flanking fence-lines await matching CPW panels.
