Arts & Crafts Design for Gate featured in Magazine

[Gary Curtis]

A spring issue (this year) of a magazine featured a large garden or estate gate made in the Arts&Crafts style. The picture was on the cover. And measured drawings were printed inside. The magazine also had a Craftsman style garden screen layout. Complete instructions for constructing both were included.

Can anyone tell me the magazine title and issue date? It was something like Fine Homebuilding. Or perhaps, a wood magazine. I can't imagine a straight decorating magazine offering that much detail, but I might be wrong and perhaps it was a home decorating mag.

I saw it on a rack in Home Depot. My mistake was showing to SWMBO when I got home. She lost it and our new Craftsman Style home will be complete in 3-4 weeks north of San Francisco. And it needs a gate. Damn.

Can anyone recall seeing the publication? The gate was truly gorgeous.

"This Old House Magazine" maybe? Can't recall them including plans, but I only get about one issue a year.

Can't help you with the magazine. However, you might take a look at http://www.prowellwoodworks.com/index.htm. He's a gate builder in Sonoma County who makes very nice stuff. If you can't find the magazine, you might look to his designs for inspiration, and if you'd rather buy than build, he'd be a good source.
