What Makes A Gate Modern?
Modern garden gates have a range of styles and sizes, but their common characteristic is to feature bold, clean, straight lines in their design.
This doesn’t mean that modern gates are boring - far from it. Trellis and hit and miss styles still have a place in the contemporary garden, but old-fashioned intricacies and fussiness are out, replaced by greater simplicity and an increased sense of solidity.
