August's Gate of the Month - 2012

Building a custom gate can truly capture the personality of the homeowner. Many choose not to veer off too far from the classic designs while others use the chance to showcase a distinct style or era.

This particular home had a very minimalistic blueprint that could handle a gate with strong character. That being the case, they chose a mixture of many different materials and angles. The chevron stripes in a gold finish and the shinny stainless steel plates draw the eye but the black powder coated steel frame and grey stone pillars balances the shine.

This slide gate pulls greatly from the Art Deco style and changes the look of the house dramatically – Adding a much needed bit of whimsy and curb appeal.
