Above: one of the beautiful small garden gates we made especially for the Feel Good Front Gardens at the RHS Hampton Court show this summer<br />
Gates are there for a very good reason - simply put, a gate helps<br />
to keep the baddies out, and keep the goodies safely in. With the<br />
darker evenings on the way, you might be considering tightening up<br />
your security, whether that’s in a rural or urban setting. Wherever<br />
your property is, one of the first things will be to look at your<br />
perimeter, normally that’s the fencing.<br />
Fencing style and height need consideration and will mainly be<br />
dictated by your location and situation. This is a meaty subject and<br />
there are masses of choices on our website, so if you are starting<br />
from scratch or replacing fencing, you can gain valuable advice and<br />
info right there. We even have a handy fence calculator app to help<br />
you work out everything you need for your project.<br />
That’s all good, but I’m sure it won’t have escaped you that<br />
somewhere in your scheme you are going to need a gate, after all a<br />
fence is marvellous and useful thing, but pretty inconvenient without<br />
a gate. Whether it’s to allow you to put out the wheelie bins, let you<br />
in and out, keep your dog, children safely in the enclosure, a gate is<br />
an absolute necessity.<br />
You may not even be in the market for a new fence, if this is so,<br />
please ignore the last few paragraphs. However as a fence anorak,<br />
can I at least make a suggestion?<br />
Please make sure your gate, or gates are in a good state of repair. It<br />
is vital. I have mentioned in these pages before how illogical it is to<br />
have the perimeter of your property fenced to keep unwanted visitors<br />
out, but then to leave the gate unlocked. We are often told that<br />

thieves are opportunists, always on the lookout, they may try a few<br />
gates – if your gate stays shut, then they will move on to the next<br />
one, it’s as simple as that. Of course, if your gate is a bit rickety, then<br />
no amount of locking is really going to stop someone coming<br />
through, which is another good reason to make sure that it is a good<br />
sturdy gate and not a pushover!<br />
