Garden gates for you to drool over and build yourself! These 12 garden gate ideas will inspire you and help you create the most beautiful garden space for your home.

10 Gorgeous Garden Gates You'll Want to Copy

When we originally started our garden 2 years ago, we just wanted to grow a lot of food for our family in a really small area. Once we had achieved that, we started looking at ways to make that space more beautiful!

First we enclosed the entire garden with 8 foot mesh, 1 inch square mesh, because the deer and rabbits got most of our fall garden. Then we needed to decide on a gorgeous garden gate to finish off the area!

Here are a few of the garden gates that we loved the most! In case you are looking for some garden inspiration, I thought I would share them with you!

White Peak-A-Boo Garden Gate

Rustic Trellised Garden Gate with Pickets

I love the weathered wood on this garden gate. Not painted or sealed in any way, the wood has been allowed to gray which lends to the charm!

Rustic Trellised Garden Gate with Solid Door


A similar style to the garden gate above, this trellised garden gate has a solid door. Though I would suggest making sure you have less of a gap at the bottom of your gate to ensure more critter protection for your plants!

Chic Trellised Garden Gate


If you'd like a little more polished look to your trellised garden gate, this version has cleaner lines and is painted to ensure an even color.

Cedar Garden Gate


This simple garden gate is a great way to use up extra wood left over from other projects, or could even be made with pallet wood! You can see how they extended the metal mesh below the bottom of the wood to help keep out the animals. Great idea!

Screen Door Garden Gate


Great example of reuse, repurpose. Turn an old screen door into a garden gate! Notice the bent spoon handle, another great repurposed item!

Tall Raw Wood Garden Gate


This gate provides more privacy for your garden, without completely blocking out the light. I would again recommend adding a layer of mesh to the backside to help prevent rabbits and such from snacking on your hard work.

Tall Garden Gate Doors


Much like the previous gate, this garden gate provides some privacy without blocking all the light. This garden gate door is trellised for a complete enclosure.

Red and White Trellised Garden Gate


Add a pop of color to your garden! Since we have a lot of yellow in our garden (squash, spaghetti squash, melons, and so on...) I might match a mellow yellow for my gate. Though red is my favorite color and this painted garden gate is gorgeous!

Vintage Metal Garden Gate


A wonderful way to add a little vintage charm to your garden gate, these old metal gates can be found at antique stores or flea markets if you don't already have one!

Painted Vintage Metal Garden Gate


Love the vintage feel but want a pop of color? Paint it for a vibrant metal vintage garden gate! And the wreath in this image is gorgeous too!

Wrought Iron Headboard Garden Gate


A great idea for a larger garden gate, this wrought iron headboard has been repuposed and is large enough to accommodate a tractor coming through, if needed.
