Public Japanese Garden
-
This project is for the Miki Public Japanese Garden that the city of Visalia, California is going to begin construction on in May. They've contacted me to do the Entry Design, and hopefully the Build :-). This is being organized by many of the same people who designed and built the Shinzen Friendship garden in neighboring Fresno http://www.shinzenjapanesegarden.org/
There's a 10' wide Entry Gate, then 10' of fencing to either side, then two 10' sections on a 45.

I'm pretty excited about this one. Never done a Public Garden before, and it's a chance to do something extra special, where alot of people might appreciate it.
The roof style on the Main Gate is my own interpretation of the Irimoya style, or Dutch hip roof. On my Roofed Entry Gates, I call it a Azumaya Roof Style.
You can see more images of the same style roof here

We'd pre-fab all three roofs, complete with shingles, and the four fence sections,
(make them Components, same as I do with SUp
then haul it 300 miles North up the to the foot of the Sierras and Yosemite, and install it.
It would be fabricated from vertical grain, old growth western red cedar, salvaged logs from Vancouver Island BC. You can see pics of us working the same stock, building a 5' wide Entry here http://woodsshop.com/How%20To/BuildAJapaneseGate.htm Such beautiful material.
the fencing would look similar to this project http://woodsshop.com/closeup/deck02_7.htm
