Exteriors: Superb doors for each size and style of garden - Green Thumb enthusiasm among us could be drawn into the choice of flowers, shrubs and conifers to perk up the garden and forget the all-important garden gate.

fuel a fantasy
This is my kind of garden gate. It is sturdy and pretty, with a nice bow and fretwork panel, yes, but above all, he promises magical things to come once you open the iron latch and walk in the garden beyond. Living in a fantasy world, me?

Show your metal
a wrought iron gate is definitely a fixture of classical garden and elegant that will serve you well. The exposure to the elements may damage the surface over time, but the new occasional coat of paint will keep in tip-top condition.
Be sure to first remove all traces of rust and sand the surface. Then apply a metal primer (aerosols are easier to ironwork), let dry and paint with a painting suitable for enamel exterior wrought iron. There you go! A beautiful new door with minimal expenditure ...

Everything on the door said artisan. And beautiful. And classic.
There is an oak door slot by hand, made from a tree that is cracked - or split - then cut to size and attached to the solid oak posts. The dry stone wall craft continues to feel a look that sums up the British countryside by excellence in a word.

Maximizing views
This gate and cute picket and without pretension fence is ideal for such an enviable seaside location. The half-height door does not hide the glorious view, and it is good weather-wise choice, too, as large panels would be more likely to be swept away by strong gusts sea. The pale natural wood blends harmoniously with the way oak and pebbles, which leads the eye to the turquoise waters beyond.
