How to Choose the Right Gate for Your Property

Gates enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal, security, privacy, and everyday utility. However, choosing the right gate to match your property’s and your own needs can be difficult, especially when so many options exist! We will guide you through the reasons you might need a gate and match them with specific gate styles, designs, and materials that we at Rugged Fence have built and can build from your home or property. 

Understand Your Needs as A Homeowner

The first step in choosing the right gate is understanding why you want and need a gate rather than a fence or leaving the space open.

Security & Privacy

Security is the most common reason for getting a gate, as you want your family, belongings, and overall property to be safe from the public and individuals trying to enter your home. The gate often offers access to either the main entrance or the only entrance of the property, meaning you know the only way someone can get in and out of your home is through your secure gate.

You may also need a gate for privacy to prevent people from peeking into your property. In this case, you would use a gate with no space between columns to reduce visibility.

Design

Your gate is most likely the first thing you and your guests see before entering your home, so ensuring its design matches your property’s personality is key to a seamless theme. You can customize your gate as much as you want by having it be automatic or manual and designing the size to fit your entrance! We specialize in swing gates, which are the common form of gate. They swing open and close similarly to a door. 

Material

  • Wood Gates: These gates are great for gardens and backyards for style or to keep pets and young children out of certain areas on your property.
  • Vinyl Gates: These are great to complement your picket fence or to give your residence that classic, homey feel.
  • Metal Gates: Most customers choose metal gates, as they offer the ideal mix of security, privacy, and style. These gates are great for estates or those wanting to achieve an elegant style.
  • Mixed Material Gates: A common idea for gate styles is to make a wood gate with a metal frame for those looking for a specific aesthetic. They also match your lattice or privacy fencing.
