Are you looking for a home feature that can add value and décor to your property? Then you should consider installing a custom gate. Custom gates do not only make your property look complete but they can also provide more privacy for your whole household.
There are thousands of benefits you can get from installing a gate alone. If you want to get the most of it, make sure to consider a few things first before deciding the style you want for your custom gate. With a wide variety of custom gate styles today, we have narrowed down three of the best custom gate styles that you might like.
Standard Gates
Usually, a gate will be built according to the style of your fence. For example, if you have a board-on-board PVC fence, your gate will likely follow its design. This is to make sure that your gate and fence can match and can help avoid making your house look incomplete.
Standard gate designs usually have a single-door design. Here are a few things you need to remember when picking a standard gate design:
- Your gate and fence should have the same height
- Your gate should be diagonally braced to help avoid bending and loosening
- Your gate’s lock system should be placed inside your property
Specialty Gates
Specialty gates are well…special. These are gate designs that you will not normally see on any residential property. Here are some examples of specialty gates:
Swing gates – a swing gate’s main purpose is to prevent any outdoor vehicle from entering your property. Swing gates can open inwards or outwards – depending on your choice.
Cantilever gates – these are the type of gates that are mostly used on properties that have limited space. The gate’s rollers are placed inside the top of your fence to give it a sliding motion.
Double gates – a double gate’s main purpose is to give easier access for larger items to get into your property. It’s usually accompanied by standard gates which are used by your family members and guests.
Automated Gate Systems
An automated gate system can be added to any type of gate as long as you place it strategically inside your property. This is the ultimate type of gate that can give your property the best privacy and safety.
Most automated gate systems have gate operators that can either lock or unlock the gate when the owner or a visitor enters and leaves. You can either use a remote, an access code, or a voice command to open and close your automated gate system.
