Fence gates can be more creative than you think. Try these ideas on for size.
Privacy fences are ideal for properties that are close to neighbors or busy streets and sidewalks. If lots of people tend to go by your backyard, a privacy fence will help you isolate your home from the outside world. If you already have one, then you are already enjoying its benefits. However, if you are looking to install a fence gate for your new or current privacy fence, check out these seven delightful privacy fence gate ideas.
A Matching Gate
A backyard fence gate design can be simple and easy. The easiest solution is to have a matching fence gate. The materials and style are exactly the same as the rest of the fence, and with its hardware and perhaps a differing horizontal or diagonal board, it is still easy to distinguish.
A Gate with Ornamental Metal
A fancy way to customize your fence gate would be to insert an ornamental metal design. The entire gate could be ornamental metal, or it could match the rest of your fence except for an ornamental metal insert, usually on the upper half.
A Gate with a Lattice Top
Lattice top privacy fences are popular for their interesting look and the ventilation they provide. If your privacy fence has a lattice top, the gate could match this design. If it doesn’t, your gate could still have a lattice top to add interest, or vice versa.
A Gate with a Window or Cut-Out
Similar to the ornamental metal insert, a fence gate could also have a simple window in it. It could also have a small custom cut-out, such as a whale, an anchor, a four-leaf clover, etc. A backyard might need privacy, but it doesn’t have to be a fortress.
A Gate with Stone or Brick Columns
You can still make a strong first impression with a fence gate flanked by stone or brick columns. While they are popular for driveway gates, they can also create a stunning entrance to your backyard, whether it is large or small.
An Arched Gate
Do you have a privacy fence with a horizontal top? Adding a fence gate with an arched top can add interest and make your backyard’s exterior entrance easier to find.
A Fence Gate with an Arbor
The same goes for a fence gate with an arbor. This wooden, composite, or vinyl arch makes the entrance clear and can add exceptional beauty to your property.
