Does your property’s fence have a matching gate? Not all fences have gates, but those that do can offer greater security, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Adding a custom fence gate to your fence’s design allows you to enjoy the benefits of a fully fenced area, and gates themselves often feature stunning decorative elements. Whether you’re installing a simple wood fence gate or a motorized metal driveway gate, the experts at Hercules Fence are standing by to provide the custom fence solutions you need! Keep reading to learn about the potential benefits and options for your new fence gate.
Location is Everything for Your New Fence Gate
Fence gates, houses, and businesses have one thing in common: location is everything! When installing a new fence gate, you must determine where you want the gate to be. The entrances to driveways, walkways, and backyards are popular locations for gates, but some homeowners have specific needs or preferences that push them to explore other arrangements. No matter how your property is laid out, consider where you want to be able to traverse your fence and think about placing your new gate there.
Consider Materials, Locks, and Measurements
Many homeowners choose matching materials and styles for their fences and gates, but there is also something to be said for creativity. You may want to flank your gate with stone pillars or lights, or you might prefer a gate that blends seamlessly with the rest of your barrier. Some homeowners even choose entirely different materials for their gates! A wooden fence gate will likely blend well with an existing wood fence, for example, but a wrought iron gate is also a good option for homeowners who wish to add a bit of visual interest. Homeowners should also discuss measurements (including height), colors, styles, handles, and locks. While you may not need a locking gate or a gate with specific hardware, it is still a good idea to explore all of your options as you brainstorm in the planning phase.
Give Your Fence Gate Convenient Features
Some fence gates include added features for convenience, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal. Motorized gates or those with easy-to-open latches can be ideal for driveways or homeowners with fine motor difficulties. Lampposts or fence post caps with lights attached to them can be a great way to illuminate your space while also adding a decorative element.
