Which gate is right for you

Gates are a great way to add curb appeal, protect your house, and help block out noise from the street. They can come in variety of designs and are usually made from wood or iron. Which type of material is best for you and your home?

Wooden gates are usually made from hard wood or soft wood. Hard wood is more expensive, but has a long life span. Soft wood is a much cheaper alternative, but can be easily worn down from bugs, weather, and pollution. Soft wood would require regular maintenance and would need to be painted, stained, or varnished to extend the life.

Iron gates, like hard wood, are expensive but last a long time. They don’t provide as much privacy, but are a great addition to your home.
