The first point of consideration is the purpose of the gate. This will help facilitate the fencing material choice. For example, driveway gates are often made in metal, whether aluminum, steel or wrought iron. Privacy of the driveway area is optional for many homeowners, as they want an unobstructed view of their home’s facade. Depending on the metal chosen, security is also a priority in driveway gates against intruders.
The same thinking applies for security gates in commercial and industrial settings where security is the priority, with privacy being lower on the list of requirements. Metal fencing and gates are a popular choice here as well.
When it comes to privacy fence gates, however, as the name implies, the priority is privacy against curious eyes and passerbys. In this case, customers often ask for gate installation materials such as wood (pressure-treated or cedar), vinyl and composite.
Pool gates must be secure and have proper latches and locks to prevent children from unauthorized entry. The material should also be somewhat resistant to water, and in the case of metal, should have rust-resistant coatings, due to its proximity to the pool.
How much does it cost to put a gate in?
