Fence Gates Can Blend in or Contrast

The gate is the most prominent and utilized part of any fence. Gate designs must be attractive and sturdy. Gate designs may serve to blend into or contrast the overall fence design. For instance, a homeowner with a scalloped picket fence may decide to install an arched gate.

Variety in Design

Manufacturers of vinyl and ornamental fences will have a variety of gate designs for the homeowner to choose from. Especially with wrought iron gates, the design possibilities are seemingly endless. These gates can become very ornate and expensive. However, less expensive gates are often constructed of lower quality or simply less material (e.g. steel, aluminum) and may eventually bend or buckle under their own weight.

Wood Fence Gates

Wood fence gates are often built onsite by the DIY-minded homeowner or their fencing contractor. Varieties will range from the picket fence gate to the log, ranch-style gate depending on the function, placement, and type of fence. Lattice gates are sometimes used with wood fences, usually in a garden environment, to create a support for climbing plants.
