Design continuity
Coordinating the gate with the board finish and surrounding framing keeps the boundary visually consistent.
Include it from the start
A gate affects the run, post arrangement and project price, so include it while configuring rather than adding it after the rest of the fence has been planned.
Think about practical use
Consider opening direction, access width and how the gate relates to paths, bins, garden equipment and everyday movement.
Review before order
Gate and boundary details should be reviewed as part of the complete project before the order proceeds.
