Gates and Doors – Your Garden's Business Card

Even if some modern garden owners take a pragmatic approach to fences and garden gates, opting for less decorative wire constructions, this isn't enough for most. If you want your garden to make a statement, you'll use the opportunity that a garden fence and gate provide to create a strong first impression for all visitors.

A beautiful, stylish gate can perfectly connect the design elements of the house and the garden. By visually softening lines, providing support, or playfully linking one area to another, it becomes more than just a passage for visitors.

For instance, delicate fence elements invite garden plants to conquer and green them. And the garden door then opens up views to the treasures the garden has to offer. The door frame itself can be entwined with jasmine, roses, or laburnum, captivating visitors as they pass through.

The selection of a garden gate also depends on whether the homeowner has a dog. Some of man's best friends could frighten or even injure passersby if their owner chooses the wrong garden gate. Especially very lively dogs shouldn't be able to fit their heads or muzzles through or over the gate if the property line borders a busy sidewalk. If the gate is high enough that no one can easily reach over it, owners can rest assured leaving their beloved four-legged friend outside when they have errands to run.

Even wrought-iron gates can now appear in new forms, no longer limited to classic designs. With delicate drawings and cubic patterns, they often colorfully complement walls and natural stone enclosures. The concept of material mix is very current in the design of boundaries and garden doors. Resourceful suppliers combine glass, wood, natural stone, and various metals to create visual delights that serve as privacy screens, decoration, and entrances all in one. For example, stainless steel panels expertly enhance doors and gates, and rusted metal sheets create an exciting contrast. This allows house numbers and other messages to be elegantly and decoratively highlighted.
