Gates are there for a very good
reason – simply put, a gate helps
to keep the baddies out, and keep
the goodies safely in. With the
darker evenings on the way, you
might be considering tightening up
your security, whether that’s in a
rural or urban setting. Wherever
your property is, one of the first
things will be to look at your
perimeter, normally that’s the
fencing.
Fencing style and height need
consideration and will mainly be
dictated by your location and
situation. This is a meaty subject
and there are masses of choices
on our website, so if you are starting
from scratch or replacing fencing,
you can gain valuable advice and
info right there. We even have a
handy fence calculator app to help
you work out everything you need
for your project.

Whether it’s to allow you to put out
the wheelie bins, let you in and out,
keep your dog or children safely in
the enclosure, a gate is an absolute
necessity.

bit rickety, then no amount of locking is really going to stop someone coming
through, which is another good reason to make sure that it is a good sturdy
gate and not a pushover!

You may not even be in the market
for a new fence, if this is so, please
ignore the last few paragraphs.
However as a fence anorak, can I

Please make sure your gate, or
gates are in a good state of repair.
It is vital. I have mentioned in these
pages before how illogical it is to
have the perimeter of your property
fenced to keep unwanted visitors
out, but then to leave the gate
