Your
modifications are welcome. It is always best to fax or email a copy
of your proposed drawings or amendments to CPW for structural review
prior to your client's exposure. Collaborations are credited and, if
preferred, linked to your web-site or email within the caption of any
work that appears on this site. Collaborating credits appear within
the first two paragraphs of any work that is featured in print (national
magazines, dailies, and bound publications)when the text is authored
by CPW.
When text
is written by a publication's in-house staff, we make every effort
to insure the collaborator is contacted by the publication, but we cannot
be responsible for the final text.
Because all commissions are made-to-order,
your custom designs do not, in themselves, register custom prices.
We will price from a design within the standard Gate
Costs or Fence Panel Costs which
most closely resembles your proposal, calculating the differentiated
materials and labor for a final quote.
An accumulation of weather-appropriate locks
and latches is available for your review. Alternate hardware proposals
are best defered to CPW for review. Hinges are 4" square-cornered
bronze ball-bearing barrel style.
GATES:
* The stiles and rails provide the
parameters of the gate's structural integrity. Stiles widths are maintained
at 5-1/4".
* Bottom rail widths are maintained at 8-1/2" minimum and
can be expanded to 12" . Top rail widths are maintained at 5-1/4" minimum.
* Stile & rail thickness is standard at 1-1/2" and
2-1/4" .
* Top rail profile can be amended
to any preference providing the rail is 5-1/4"
at the stile joint.
* The upper section of those gates with a middle
rail can be amended to any pattern or design (i.e. circles, ovals,
squares patterns, arching pickets, receding perspective illusions,
etc.)
* The lower pickets of those gates with middle
rails can be equally amended. The lower sections with solid panels
can be modified only in their open mortised patterns. They
currently illustrate mortised, open slots 3/4" width x 5-1/4" length.
This same principal can be utilized for open squares, circles, and
arched slots configured to your preference.
MODULAR
FENCE PANELS:
* Like the gates, there are certain
areas not available for amendment.
* The widths of the stiles, or frame-boards,as well as the
rails should not be modified. Top rails can be patterned to a unlimited
range of profiles.
* This upper section often provides you
with the best option to introduce a pattern or design more in keeping
with your preferences.
* Panel heights can
range from 12" (i.e. mounted
atop stone or masonry walls), to 9 feet.
* The upper section of those panels with
middle rails can be amended to a variety of patterns. Pattern Blocks
(small blocks of wood joined between the pickets) can be placed
at your discretion.
