How to choose your garden gate?
Just like choosing your front gate, your garden gate isn't something you should choose at random. There are several criteria to consider to ensure you have a stylish, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing gate. Let's take a look at the main elements to consider.
Choosing the material for your garden gate
Indeed, the material is one of the most important criteria in choosing a gate. It is the material that will allow your gate to last and provide you with the sturdiness you desire. For the material, you can choose the same as your front gate or, on the contrary, vary the materials and colours; it's up to you to decide what vibe and harmony you want to offer to your outdoor space!
Wooden gate
Wooden gates offer many advantages: they're aesthetically pleasing, timeless, but also economical, as they're a highly durable material if properly maintained. To do so, you'll need to regularly oil the wood. If you want to add charm and authenticity to your outdoor space, making it warmer and more welcoming, opt for wood!
Aluminium gate
If your choice falls on an aluminum gate, you can be sure it will last. It's a robust material that's highly resistant to bad weather, humidity, and UV rays. Of course, we still recommend choosing a gate with rust and corrosion protection for greater longevity. In addition, aluminum requires very little maintenance and is easy to clean with soap and water. Aluminum is therefore a very good material for your gate.
PVC gate
PVC gates are the easiest to install because they are lightweight. They're affordable and easy to maintain. Perfect for creating a trendy, modern outdoor space, PVC is a fashionable material. Its only drawback is that it can appear to be less high-quality than aluminium.
Choosing the gate's filling
The choice of filling varies according to your tastes and the use you will have for it. An openwork gate is aesthetically more appealing, while a solid gate is more suitable for gardens that prefer to remain private.
A solid garden gate
The solid gate is ideal for those who are tired of the prying eyes of neighbors or passers-by. Indeed, this gate will allow you to completely eliminate any overlooked view and have your complete privacy. All while enhancing your outdoor space.
An openwork gate
Ideal for poorly exposed gardens, openwork garden gates let in more light than solid gates. Since they're not solid, they also allow you to have a view of the outdoors, as well as the interior. So, for those who are proud of their flowerbeds, this is the perfect opportunity to show them off!
