Fences define boundaries, and gates are the openings between one boundary and another. Our professionals at Tic Ridge Fencing know that an ornamental gate beautifies even the most utilitarian fence. It pleases the eye of the property owner, impresses any potential buyer and passersby and enhances curb appeal. This adds value and beauty to a property, whether that property is residential or commercial.

The Beauty and Variety of Our Ornamental Gates

Thanks to the ability of metal and wood to be wrought into all manner of shapes, the variety of ornamental gates is almost endless. Beauty doesn’t necessarily mean that the gate is ornate and complicated. An arched gate with simple pickets or pales and a single rail that follows the curve of the arch can delight as readily as a gate full of scrollwork. Gates can be installed on walls made of brick, stone or concrete or fences made of wood or vinyl. They can also be edged by posts topped with aesthetically pleasing caps or finials in the form of globes, acorns, pineapples, triad points and arrows. There are even solar finials that take in the sun’s rays and light up at night.

Our professionals are happy to help our customers choose the style of their gate. Ideally, the style complements the style of the home. Also, we’ll need to know what the customer wants the gate to do. Is it there to keep pets and young children from wandering? Should it be tall, mostly solid and set in a large wall to protect the homeowner’s privacy? Should it be waist or chest-high and give passersby a glimpse of the yard or garden? Should it be narrow or wide? Should it swing one way only or should it swing in and out? What sort of hardware should be used? Sometimes the hardware can be as beautiful and ornamental as the gate itself.

Installing and Repairing an Ornamental Gate

It’s important that the gate is not only beautiful but sturdy. A weak gate not only doesn’t open and close the way it should but can be unsightly. Eventually, an unsteady gate sags and can even cause make the post it’s attached to lean.

If the gate does develop problems, we can fix it. Sometimes it’s simply a matter of taking down the gate and planning the latch side, replacing worn-out hinges or bracing a gate frame that’s become a bit wobbly. Unsteady gates can also be shored up, and if they’re in very bad shape, the gate can be taken down and the posts pulled up and replaced. Our professionals are experts at both fence installation and repair.
