ABOUT WOODEN GATES
The most usual types of wooden gates are those which matches into a run of wooden fencing. There are three main types of wood fencing for which wooden gates can be provided: Privacy Fencing, Semi-Private Fencing, and Post & Rail Fencing. Privacy Wood Fencing with wooden gates provides a solid fence, producing privacy and maximum security. The wooden gates may be formed as a Stockade, as Board on Batten, or as Vertical Board. Semi-Private Wood Fencing and wooden gates are formed by placing vertical planks on alternate sides of the rails, so that light and air can penetrate at an angle.
