Wrought Iron Gates vs. Wood Gates

By , About.com Guide   October 27, 2009

Follow me on:

There are a number of different types of driveway gates, and you may be tempted to choose one on the basis of appearance and/or cost, alone. Are you leaning toward wood gates because they cost less than wrought iron gates and/or you prefer the look of wood?

In addition to being attractive, wood gates can be a practical choice, but you should be aware of the challenges that they present. Landscape designer, Paul Corsetti reveals those challenges in this interview I conducted with him regarding the different types of driveway gates.

In some cases, despite the additional cost, wrought iron gates might make the most sense for your yard. But if your budget precludes the possibility of installing wrought iron gates, Paul mentions some other types of metal driveway gates that are available. To help you decide which type of driveway gate would be best for you, click the link below to access the interview.
