Update Your Fence with The Coolest Gate on the Block

So you want to update your fence and give it a more modern look, but maybe it isn’t in the budget to put in a brand new fence. Consider updating the gate for an easy and cost-effective upgrade. By adding a decorative accent into your current gate, or replacing it altogether, you can instantly update the look of your fence and add some curb appeal.

Decorative Accent

Give your gate a neat, new look by adding a decorative accent into the gate itself. It can be as simple as cutting a hole into the gate and installing a piece of decor, like an iron insert. You can also get creative with the hardware on your gate. A wrench as a gate handle? What a neat idea.

Old Door

For an extremely affordable gate that you can find in your own home, simply add an old door into your fence as a gateway. You may even choose to DIY distress the wood of a newer door for a rustic look.

High Tech

Your gate is an important part of your fence, as it keeps unwanted guests out and allows welcomed guests in. A high-tech gate with an intercom system gives you the ability to choose whether or not your guests are allowed into your humble abode. A keypad entry system would also do the trick!

Wrought Iron

Don’t be afraid to mix and match materials! You know what looks great with a wood fence? Just a touch of wrought iron! Your neighbors will applaud your classy creativity when you add a wrought iron gate into your existing wood fence.

Play With Your Materials

Sometimes all it takes is a little creativity. Use your imagination to create interesting shapes and details within your gate. Some of these projects can be DIYs, but make sure to consult a professional for the tougher and more dangerous projects.
