Iron gates not only protect your home, but they also can add some ornamental flair to your yard.
Iron gates are a beautiful addition to any residential property. They are a timeless classic yard centerpiece, made long before the invention of security cameras or wire fences. The historic charm of these gates has made them a popular choice for those wanting to further secure their property. There are so many benefits of having an iron gate, especially when combined with an iron fence. Want an iron gate but unsure where to start? Here are two common types of iron gates that can safeguard the property around your home.
Driveway Iron Gates
Driveway iron gates are a great way to add a touch of elegance along with great protection to your home. They are absolutely perfect for anyone who does not like unsolicited visitors. A solicitor on foot cannot get past the gate onto the property to bother you, nor can the pesky driver using your driveway as a turnaround. Most driveway gates can be customized to fit virtually any shape of the driveway and usually are accompanied by a matching iron fence. In addition, driveway gates are often motorized, allowing for password input to only let in those your family trusts onto your property. Lastly, the gate allows a decent amount of visibility to see just what is going on outside of the fence.
Walkway Iron Gates
Walkway iron gates are not only charming in appearance, but with good upkeep, they can last for up to one hundred years. Iron gates are a great choice for guarding backyards, pool sites, gardens, or dog pens. Iron can be tempered, which makes walkway iron gates virtually weatherproof. Additionally, when combined with an iron fence, walkway gates can be extremely durable. As with driveway iron gates, they also allow for visibility outside of the gate if needed. Walkway gates are also significantly less expensive than a driveway iron gate, making them a much more cost-effective investment.
