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!

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!
