After a series of early commissions following the speculative design for garden gate #114, we can feature a project with the accompanying fence design. #144-5, introduces Fence Panel Style #8. Built on a sloping grade, the bottom horizontal rails of both the double gates and the accompanying panels are tapered to the slope.

The neighbor Mommy Dino has arranged a play date for Baby Dino with the ever-popular Viggo.
Come on out, Viggo . . . No need to hide under the paper fold. It’s only Baby Dino.

Utilizing Option A in the various options available for sloping grades, we have tapered the bottom rails of garden fence #8 and stepped the panels.  The double wood gates are tapered across the bottom, but level across the top.

Double wood gates on a sloping grade require a landing zone to accommodate an in-swing toward the property. A “Landong Zone’ being the 32” required by code between the wooden gates and any steps leading up, or down. If the landing zone is not level, the gates must be hung high enough off the grade to clear the rising slope.

Finished on site with a dark green solid body stain. Unknown brand.
When painting the gates, the cedar should be fully exposed to the elements for 203 weeks tio allow it to acclimate prior to the application of paint, solid-body stains, or any finish that does not absorb.

Note that the jambs on this application of the wood gates style #114 have been mounted toward the property edge of the columns. Although the majority of the gates/jambs are centered within the column depth, mounting as shown below does offer a wider swing arc. And yet there is always a danger of ‘chip out’ when bolting close to the edge of a stucco/block column.
