Wooden Fence Gates: Well-Crafted and Economical to Use
Wooden fence gates are well-crafted with elegant designs and structures to enclose a property. It is economical because it lasts for a very long time.
Wooden gates are solid heartwoods. It can be used in ranches, garden and house entry, polo clubs and horse corrals. These are well-crafted from IPE wood, western red cedar or white oak. These woods are strongest part of the tree. The optimal performance of a wooden fence gates depends upon its durability, insect attacks, weather conditions, decomposition and low maintenance.

Posts are vertical components place on either side of the fence. Sometimes there several placed in regular intervals throughout the perimeter. It supports the fence gate and holds the panels firmly in place. It is the main foundation of a wooden fence.
Rails connect one post to the other to which the panels will be attached. It is the horizontal element parallel to the ground.
Panels are the vertical components that complete the fence structure. It comes with different designs, styles, and shapes.
Gate styles and shapes come in vertical bars, lattice design, solid pickets, spaced vertical pickets and gates with solid centers. Wooden decorative gates are available in custom sizes with a standard width of 3 to 6 feet. Below are some of the design types to choose from:
Design Types
The Country Escaped Gates are made from Western Red Cedar treated with sealers for a more natural look. Sealers help protect the woods against damaging elements. The gate can also be painted to match your fence décor.

Wooden Gate Maintenance
Wooden gates need to be crafted with the use of quality materials. This will avoid unnecessary sagging or slipping from the alignment in the future. Wood can twist and warp with the use of low quality woods and hardware. Gate posts should be able to support the weight of the gate. It is important to build larger posts for a wider gate.
A sag prevention kit can be used to avoid gate frames that harm your wood gates. The kit has a turnbuckle for easy gate adjustments. This will provide a strong structure on your rails to the steel frames.
Wooden gates present great craftsmanship and artistry with utmost functionality. Large wooden gates may vary from $1,400 to $4,000 or more. Price range depends on the gate's level of craftsmanship, height and weight.
