The garden gate has long been a staple feature of the fairy tale, English country garden. Anyone who has read the quintessential British coming of age classic, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, will remember the sense of excitement, the sense of the exotic, the unknown, the secret, that Mary Lennox felt as she pulled aside the ivy revealing the old green wooden gate that became a portal to a whole new world of childhood adventure and growth.
Your garden may not be the rambling estates of a North Yorkshire mansion, but they are as important to the family home. Children and adults alike benefit from time outside in the garden and whether you have a petite metropolitan yard, a rambling allotment or a veritable field, it should be a really important part of the home. With this in mind, a set of wooden gates are essential to the safety and protection of your garden, home and property.
Wooden Gates
Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire or anywhere else in the United Kingdom, wooden gates look smart and are the perfect security feature for the garden. When picking wooden gates for your property there are some practical security features to consider. Wooden gates can be built solid or with slats. Solid wooden gates offer privacy in your garden, are durable and intrinsically stronger than other designs. Slatted wooden gates are useful because although they sacrifice a measure of privacy, they don’t provide cover to crimes taking place on the property meaning criminals trying locks or attempting to steal vehicles will feel less hidden.
Wooden gates at the back of a property should be the same height as the surrounding wall, otherwise nefarious individuals can use the lower height as a step-up point to climb the outer fencing. Even in the country wooden gates offer protection against errant walkers, wandering wildlife and other passing traffic that might find your garden a tempting treat. It really is hard to overstate the security offered by good quality wooden gates.
