Californian Bungalow 1920 - 1930
Balastrade fencing always provides a genuine solution for 1920's homes.
Best results for bungalows is to keep the picket fence forms sharp & angular.
Built for a council reserve, designed to weather naturally, with curved timbers.
Challenge met.
Cutting the corner with red collars & a gate arbour.
Even more open with every 3rd picket carried upwards
Note how every 2nd picket from the base section continues into the more open top section.
Post tops & roof gables in sympathy.
Pyramid caps cantilever out over the posts with scotia rolled back reflecting the bungalows roof line.
Pyramid caps echo the gable with an unusual dual pedestrian gate.
Pyramid posts & chamfered capping marry perfectly to the bungalow's angles.
Raw galvanised wire & powdercoated silver gates provides a natural look.
Raw wire and a well chosen colour matched with the letterbox and satin chrome numerals.
Raw wire is cheaper than powdercoated wire but doesn't look it.
Recessed entrances look better if they are generous in width like this one
Restored to its former glory.
See how the plinth follows the site contour with the wire cut & joined behind.
A perfect marriage of colour & form.
Structural cappings with traditional mortice & tenon joinery.
Style B Gates in a typical woven wire layout.
Style E gates with elaborate, rolling stainless steel scrolls.
