Here at Cheshire Metalcraft, we understand how daunting it can be to choose the perfect gate. After all, the industry is incredibly varied and there are many different aspects to take into consideration before you get your heart set on a particular style. In order to ensure that our readers are equipped with the knowledge they need to make a decision, we’ve decided to go over three things to take into consideration…

Opening/Closing

There are many different gate styles that are available on the market and this means that it is important to consider how your gates will open and close. After all, some designs like sliding gates and swinging gates require specific space requirements and the last thing that you want to do as a property owner is fall in love with a gate that isn’t suitable for your property.

Style and Aesthetics

Although some property owners will refuse to admit it, aesthetics play an important role in choosing the perfect gate. After all, it is important to ensure that the style of gate that you invest in will still be aesthetically pleasing in ten years’ time. Luckily, most modern gates come in a variety of different materials and colours with a huge selection of design features to choose from in order to meet every aesthetic need.

Budget

Ever since the implementation of automatics, the gate industry has been taken by storm. After all, there are now an abundance of different styles and accessibility options to choose from. With this said, it is important to take a budget into consideration when you are selecting the perfect gate as some features, like automation, tend to be more expensive.

The average gate lasts for around a decade with high quality and regular maintenance which means that it is important to ensure that you invest in the most suitable style for your property. Here at Cheshire Metalcraft, we have a wide variety of designs to choose from including gates made from wrought iron and timber and we are always on hand to help our clients make that all-important decision.
