DIY gate: photos and decoration ideas

Let’s start with this, the simplest option. Of course, the owner made it himself, collecting old boards and garden tool holders. It seems, well, what’s wrong with that, and the gate serves as a barrier only nominally, without hiding anything. However, it is in such deliberate simplicity that the attractiveness of this rustic option lies..

Behind such a classic snow-white lattice gate, only a well-kept garden in an English park style or a flat lawn with symmetrical flower beds can be hidden. An arch shape and a wreath of living flowers added to this wicket’s appeal..

The original solution is an imitation of garden tools made of wood on the gate. Emphasizes that a plot is hidden behind the fence, the owners of which worked a lot to grow crops and create beautiful flower beds.

The same idea with tools, but this time in metal. A rougher gate, as if scaring away intruders, but it definitely attracts the attention of passers-by and sets the tone for the entire design of the site.

Again, a very simple option, without sophistication. A simple wooden fence and a metal gate, as open as possible, hiding nothing and deliberately rude. But the bright yellow paint added some playfulness to the gate and became the main decorative technique..

The construction of the pergola above the gate allows in the future to twine it with plants – “climbers”, for example, climbing roses. But even now, without such a green decoration, this gate made of uneven boards looks just fabulous.

The decision to decorate the low gate with a classic arch helped to highlight the entrance to the courtyard. Green surroundings, a sign with the street name and house number at the top, a wicker basket on the gate – it turned out to be a charming passage along a stone path to a cozy house.

An old door as a gate. Why not. No cost and minimal effort. The owners decided to make the wicket door bright, and as a decoration a plate and a simple wreath are again used.

A massive fence for those who wish to hide the area from prying eyes. Such gates and wickets are designed to really protect the courtyard from intruders, but at the same time look beautiful due to the noble structure of wood.

Wrought iron gates can be called a separate topic. They can be very different, but in any case they are distinguished by their durability and solidity. In this case, the gate is high, framed by a massive fence made of old red brick. Green spaces and classic vases crowned with brick pillars complete the picture..

The visor over the gate is a very nice decorative move. Of course, you can really hide under it from the rain if you didn’t manage to reach the house, but the main purpose of such a mini-roof is to decorate the entrance to the site.

The gate practically disappeared behind the climbing plants. The owners deliberately allowed the flowers to grow as they liked, achieving this effect of natural unkempt and simplicity. At the same time, the white color still gives the gate a rather classic look, highlighting it among the greenery.

Again forging and red brick. Spiers with metal gilded balls and a forged lantern above the entrance evoke associations with a knight’s castle and the solemn entrance of long-awaited guests.

A wicket should also correspond to a log house. Roughly hewn, on wooden posts, with metal rivets and a comfortable wooden handle. The owners did not forget about the forged lantern on the wall of the house next to the entrance..

Forged window inserts on a solid wooden wicket allow you to see the guest before opening the door. The purpose of such inserts, of course, does not end with the practical function, because they are very beautiful. We also note an antique lantern, in which, it seems, not a lamp is burning, but a candle.
