Construction
End Gable
The side panel of a cabinet box, particularly the exposed end panel at the termination of a cabinet run. In frameless cabinet construction, the end gable is the primary structural side of the box and supports shelves, hinges, and drawers. Exposed end gables receive a matching finished surface (skin panel or end panel) so they blend visually with the door and drawer fronts when visible from the side.
