The arch, pedestal and pillars were constructed by the development's owner S.R.J. Homes, and the gates, fence and accessories were provided by Five G Inc., a fence and guardrail contracting company from Phoenix. Five G typically bids large high- way fence and guardrail jobs, but took this job at the special request of the customer, said general superintendent John Gray. • This was a gated community special edition. • New UL 325 provisions were de- signed to address gate operator safety issues. • Revisiting safety, OSHA and your business, by WFN contributing editor Jim Lucci. • Priming the business planning pump. • Don't overlook top rail in the profit picture, by WFN contributing editor Herb Borner. • U.S. construction activity slips in August, according to the Dodge Report. • Let's talk about switches, relays and other stuff. • A boom in gated communities brings touch of sophistication to the wild, wild West.

The beautiful residence is en- hanced by the "yesteryear" prestige of the fence. Two recessed panel pillar posts with decorator dentil post caps frame the arched gate. This arch mir- rors the defining arched windows over the stately entrance to the home. The sections on each side of the gate have curved top rails gracefully meeting the rails on the gate.
