Browse the driveway gate styles homeowners ask for most — modern aluminum, ornamental wrought iron and wood with a steel frame — then turn the one you like into a photorealistic concept of your own entrance.
Design your gate
Clean horizontal slats in powder-coated aluminum suit flat-roof and contemporary homes. Aluminum stays light, will not rust, and is easy for an operator to slide or swing. Ask for slat spacing that balances privacy with airflow, and plan a keypad or intercom pillar on the driver's side.
Hand-forged scrollwork, arched top rails and cast finials give traditional and estate homes a formal entrance. Iron is the most customizable option, so a fabricator can match existing railings, monograms or a house crest. Galvanizing before paint is what keeps it looking new in wet climates.
Cedar, ipe or redwood panels on a welded steel frame give warmth and full privacy without the sag that pure timber gates develop. Ranch, craftsman and farmhouse properties suit wide sliding versions on a track. Budget for resealing the wood every couple of years.
