 Wooden Garden Gates with Craftsman Stepped Rail and an example of tighteninmg the picket arrangement for less visibility

To maintain the friendly appeal of an open picket style, while providing visual privacy, the pickets of this Gate Design are only 1" width and spaced at only 3/4" instead of the normal 1-1/2". 

  A closer look at the typical Wood Gate #24

 Wood Gate #24-1, in Toronto, Canada. Flanking panels and Arbor #1 as an assembly mounted to the site posts.

--Because there are no other gates between these and the site swimming pool, the gates shown are restricted to local pool-access codes--hence the latch is at 60" above the grade.  The gates are also swinging out, away from the property, and fitted with self-closing spring hinges.  Three requirements sited by almost all local building codes in the U.S.

 Double Gates #24-2 set to stone columns in Fairfax, CA (Marin County)
 Optional Bronze Hardware latch #40-300.  Dead bolt #30-100. 

A view of the same double gates from within the property, where the #40-300 latch is seen as only a drop bar and no handle.

Because the stone is only marginally uneven, the jambs were mounted directly onto the stone, requiring a little cold-chiselling of the high points to insure an even, stable seat before bolting the jambs to the stone using masonry spread bolts.

The original Garden Gate #24 in Marin County, CA.  The top rail 'step' is shown in reverse, stepping down instead of up. Also shown with an arbor style which we no longer list within the Arbor Gallery #4.  Although it can be built upon request.
