Elevate Your Driveway With Custom Wooden Gates

Wooden driveway gates aren’t just a great choice for rural properties and homes with a more rustic feel; they can be designed to match the aesthetic of any home. Whether you want a farmhouse-style post and rail gate, a solid-paneled swing gate that shows off the look of the natural materials, or an intriguingly modern design with custom patterning painted a brilliant white, Garon can help you design the perfect wooden gate for your home.

Types of Wood for Wooden Driveway Gates

Our wooden gates are built around a heavy-duty steel core to maximize their sturdiness and durability. The core is then wrapped in select-grade wood: either mahogany, western red cedar, or Brazilian ipe.

Mahogany

Mahogany is an exceptionally strong wood, and it features a distinctive deep rich reddish brown color. Its fine-grained and smooth texture allow for a high-quality finish, and its warm, natural aesthetic is a perfect complement for many homes. It’s also naturally rot- and pest-resistant, making it a great choice for outdoor gates.

Western Red Cedar

Cedar is an excellent choice for a driveway gate: prized for its rich color, ranging from mellow ambers to reddish cinnamons, western red cedar is light, durable, and contains an oil that makes it resistant to insect damage and decay. It’s also more resistant to warping than many other woods, so it’s good in damp or humid climates.

Brazilian Ipe

Also known as “Ironwood,” Brazilian ipe is one of the most durable and sought after hardwoods for outdoor construction. It’s low maintenance, naturally resistant to decay, and even has a Class A fire rating, the same rating given to concrete and steel.

How Long Do Hard Wood Gates Last?

Our wooden gates are built to last. Gates made out of a hard wood like mahogany can last up to 50 years with proper maintenance. Regular painting, staining, and sealing will increase your gate’s lifespan so you can enjoy it for decades.

If you’re looking for a gate that looks like painted wood but with fewer maintenance requirements, you might want to consider composite gates. Made from a unique blend of high quality polymers and recycled plastics, composite gates resist decay and can last even longer than wood.
