A garden can be your own piece of heaven. It surrounds you in beauty and life. It can be truly magical. It doesn't matter if you fill your garden with flowers, herbs or vegetables, simply having nature around you can give you that same feeling of tranquillity.
Of course first impressions people have of your garden is the gate. You will want it to reflect the personality of your garden and give visitors an idea of what awaits them.
Types of Garden Gates
The most obvious choices of gate materials have got to be wood and metal however bamboo is also becoming a more popular material in gardens.
Think of a garden gate and most people will think of one made from wood. They can be very traditional or very modern. Wood can be shaped and stained to take on the appearance you wish. You may want the gate to be solid so that people can't look in, or perhaps you have such a beautiful garden you want to show it off to all passers by.
For a slightly different look you can even combine wood with other materials such as iron.
Iron can be truly elegant and sleek or even rustic. The metal can be bent into almost any shape you desire. It can be free-flowing and organic or even geometrical.
Want a feeling of calm and Zen? Then bamboo is they way to go. It will give your garden a more exotic/Japanese look. Bamboo, like wood, can be put together to form a solid gate which is great for gardens that wish to be private.
Caring for a Garden Fence
Wood tends to be a high maintenance product but can have a very long life if it is cared for properly. As with other wood products in your garden you will need to do some sanding and staining every few years to keep it looking good.
Bamboo, like wood, will need regular maintenance. After installing bamboo, a coating of polyurethane should be applied to help protect it from the elements. Make sure that the polyurethane has UV protection.
For really low maintenance, wrought iron beats them all. It's generally rust-resistant however you can paint it if needed. Paint will also help protect it from rust.
Cost of Buying a Garden Gate
There is a difference in price between these materials. Wood will tend to be the least expensive out of the three natural products. The price will depend on what type of wood you want to use. Cedar is the most common type used outdoors because of its natural bug resistance.
You will have to pay more for iron and the price can depend greatly on how much detail goes into the design. The more complex the design the more man-hours required to make it become a reality.
When designing a landscaped garden from scratch, much thought is given to the planting, the patio and the fencing outlining the borders of a property. However, less thought is usually devoted to the aluminum gates or arch most suited to a garden's needs.
Gates can say a lot about us, their designs can be grand, as the gates leading into stately homes, or they can be playful or bold. Whatever their design, their main function is to keep either in or out, depending on the beholder's point of you.
If your property is large and your wrought-iron look aluminum fence proclaims your affluence and status in the neighborhood, you don't want to spoil the effect by inserting a white plastic gate, no matter how safe it might keep the grandchildren or the dog from running out into the road beyond. Choosing the right gate for our entrance is important, both from an aesthetic and safety point of view.
If safety is your paramount requirement, your aluminum gates and fencing should be high enough to prevent people climbing over it and you should be able to bolt it or even lock it at night from the inside. This type of gate is best suited for entrances leading to the rear of a property. Front gardens usually have a much lower gate, but if your children are small or you have an adventurous or even assertive dog, your gate should be high enough for your loved ones to stay safely within the compound of your front garden.
