10 Easy Pieces: Wooden Garden Gates

January 29, 2018

Wooden garden gates provide privacy and protection, keeping precious cargo in and unwanted visitors out. Curb appeal is serious business for wooden gates; they also offer ornamentation and allure (see Get the Look: The English Garden Gate 10 Ways).

Depending on the architectural style of your fence and facade, you may want a picket gate, a lattice gate, a slat gate, or a gate with custom features (such as a peephole placed at your dog’s eye level).  Here are 10 choices that will add instant curb appeal to a fence—hardware and post-setting not included.

Wooden Picket Gates

Based in Sebastapol, California Prowell Woodworks offers a variety of high-quality, attractive wooden garden gates made to order within a range of specifications. An open picket style, Garden Gate No. 40 constructed of western red cedar is available in widths up to 60 inches, thicknesses up to \2.\25 inches, and heights up to 7 feet. Base prices for Prowell gates range from \$\1,\250 to \$\2,050, depending on size and style.
