Garden gates

Garden gates are more than just pretty decorations to add to your property. They are also an essential part of its security. It is important that a physical security barrier is in place to stop people from straying into your property and damaging or stealing any of your items – or gaining entry to your actual house.

Obviously this is more serious in some areas than others, such as those with high crime rates located in high-density city areas, but it is equally important for those living in rural settings who are not surrounded by neighbours that could offer deterrence to intruders.

The most effective way to maintain security and an aesthetically appealing appearance is to install an effective gate and fence system to your garden.

Wooden Fence Panels

Wooden fence panels are a common choice for many households. They can vary dramatically in price but start from a low fee that will be affordable for most low-middle income families. Ultimately, you will get what you pay for here and the construction and material will impact the life span of the entire structure, so if you can stretch to a higher value fence and gate then it might be worth it - especially if you plan to live in the property for the next few years and don't want to pay for maintenance or repair costs.

At the cheaper end of the market are rough sawn timber frameworks and infill panels. These fences and gates do not come treated usually and will be more exposed to adverse weather conditions. They will succumb to harsh elements such as frost, rain and extreme heat and will need to be maintained regularly.

Cheap fences also suffer from other kinds of damage such as holes and collapse due to heavy winds or from children kicking balls into the framework. This can result in a costly and inconvenient replacement.

If you can afford well-constructed pressure treated wooden fence panels however, then wood still present a good option with high levels of durability and low costs in comparison to other materials.

Picket Fencing

It can create a simple yet pleasing impression and works with many people's garden arrangements. It also has the benefit of being relatively easy to erect and most garden gates Milton Keynes stores or outdoor fabricators will be able to plan, design and maintain all types of picket fence styles.

If you are not worried about intruders but simply want an organised garden that keeps in your children and pets, then this may be the best choice for you.

Metal Fencing

Metal fences provide great security to a property, also adding to its aesthetic appeal. However, due to the available designs and the large amount of space left between the gaps of each pole, they usually only offer minimal amounts of privacy.

The benefits are that they can create a sense of class and beauty while also retaining a conservative look and feel that is just as secure as it is pretty. Available in a variety of styles, a metal fence is a great alternative to timber as it won't need much maintenance and will survive the onslaught of any adverse weather conditions including extreme winds, snow, frost or sunshine.
