As a new homeowner, there are likely several renovations you’d like to make to your home. In addition to making you feel more at ease in your new space, these upgrades will improve your home’s value and make it easier to sell if you decide to put your house back on the market in the future.
Gates are an especially good idea if you live in an area that sees large amounts of pedestrian traffic or where crime rates are high. Read on for three different types of gates to consider for your new home:
Entrance Gateways
As you pull up to your new home, it’s nice to have a well-designed entrance that will make a lasting impression on your guests. Some gateways are purely decorative, while others provide additional privacy and security.
Custom gates can be made from stone or wood. Metal gates can be ornate or minimalist, rustic or elegant–whatever style best suits your home.
Fence Entrances Gateways
Fence entrances are good places to customize your home’s gates. These custom gates can be installed on top of existing fencing. If you choose to add gates as a fence entrance, consider the design here as well. There are plenty of companies that transform an otherwise ordinary-looking gate into a piece of art.
Pool Entrance Gateways
Adding a gate as the main entranceway to your pool adds an element of sophistication and security. Installing a gate around your pool allows you to customize your design preferences with a rustic, modern, or different creative style.
Adding a gate around the pool won’t only improve its aesthetics. You’ll be better able to prevent children, pets, and adults from falling in. If you have young kids or pets, consider installing a keyed gate to give you added peace of mind about their safety.
