Warm and welcoming, fences surrounding the property tie the home and garden together making the area from the front door to the fence an extension of the ground floor. The fence, acting as a barrier between your home and the hustle and bustle of daily life, provides you with privacy and protection. Adding a gate allows the visitor an opportunity to pause and admire the garden as they open the garden gate for their passage through.
Bring your personality to the garden with a gate to match your style. Stock fences are available, but consider a custom gate to reflect your love of gardening.

Isn’t that a super gate! I so want to see the garden beyond…gail
Yep Gail, this garden is just as beautiful beyond the gate. You make a good point. Gates make good calling cards!
I think gates make a person want to step through them and see what awaits. Definitely an important design feature.~~Dee
Yes Dee, definitely an important design feature and fun too. H.
