A Gate Designed to Belong
A feature gate creates a clear point of entry and often becomes one of the most noticeable details in the frontage.
White Pickets develops timber and scroll gates around the opening, the adjoining fence and the character of the home, giving the entrance its own presence without losing connection to the property.
Timber Gates
A timber gate can match the fence or introduce a complementary pattern that gives the entrance greater definition. Board width, spacing, height and top profile are tailored to the opening and required privacy.
Painted or natural timber finishes can be selected to suit the surrounding fence and home.
Scroll Gates
Scroll gates bring a lighter, more decorative character to an entrance. The design can be restrained or traditional to suit the fence and architecture.
Balanced proportions allow the scrollwork to sit comfortably alongside timber fencing or masonry posts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a feature gate?
A feature gate is a custom pedestrian or driveway gate designed as an important visual part of the entrance rather than simply a functional opening in the fence.
What is the difference between a timber gate and a scroll gate?
Timber gates can provide greater privacy and a close visual connection with the fence. Scroll gates create a lighter, more decorative entrance with greater visibility through the gate.
Can a feature gate be designed to match my fence and home?
Yes. The gate’s height, proportions, materials, pattern and finish can be developed around the adjoining fence and architectural character of the property.
Can feature gates be made for pedestrian and driveway entrances?
Yes. Feature gates can be designed for pedestrian or vehicle access, depending on the opening, site conditions and way the entrance needs to function.
Can a feature gate be incorporated into a gatehouse or arbour?
Yes. Designing the gate and entrance structure together helps align the posts, openings, proportions and decorative details across the complete entrance.
