Description
When you have a new fence installed, it's the perfect time to add an extra gate. But how many gates do you want in your fence? That's more of a personal decision. While we can offer some ideas and recommendations, you are the final decision maker.
We have found that having just one gate is typically not enough for ease of use and being able to enter your yard. Homeowners definitely need to be able to access their home from more than one point, for various reasons. Sometimes garden hoses need to be accessed in both the front yard and the back, and throwing the hose over the fence is just an annoyance. There also might be a need for a gate that is more accessible for a bulk lawn mower to get through.
There are a few things you need to think about when deciding how many gates to put in your fence:
-How often do you need to use the gate?
-How much space do you need to get through?
-How much space do you have for a gate?
You should also think about how you want the gate to appear as a decoration. Keep in mind that it needs to match all your other fencing and gates.
-Do you want a double gate, or a single gate? A double gate will give you more room to work with, but if space is limited these can be difficult to find.
-Where do you want the hinges on your fence? You might need a slightly different type of hinge for an extra gate, so this should probably be decided first.
-Is there enough room for people and/or cars to get through the new extra gate? If not, then another solution may have to be found.
