Some homes have a white picket fence. Others have wrought iron gates. But yours? Yours deserves something different. Something bold. Something horizontal.
At Big Jerry’s Fencing, we know that the way you frame your property says a lot about you. That’s why our horizontal fence gates are modern-day welcome signs crafted for beauty and built with strength.Â
Let’s walk you through what makes horizontal fence gates worth your attention and worth your investment.
Why Go Horizontal? Because Ordinary Isn’t You.
Vertical slats are everywhere. But horizontal fences? That’s a conscious choice. The clean lines feel calm. Contemporary. Balanced. They guide the eye across your space instead of cutting it up. And with the right design, your gate will definitely leave an impression!
Gate Styles That Make You Look Twice!
Here are a few ideas we love:
Flush-Mounted Gates
Think smooth, aligned, uninterrupted. These gates sit in perfect flow with the rest of your fence—no bulging hinges or bulky frames.
Metal Meets Wood
Combine steel or aluminum with warm wood slats. This modern blend is tough, edgy, and ridiculously good-looking.
Floating Slats
Slight spacing between the boards creates a breezy, layered look. Perfect if you want partial visibility without sacrificing design.
Sliding or Swinging?
Whether it glides open or swings wide, we tailor the motion to your layout and your lifestyle. Got a driveway that needs double access? We’ll build a wide, two-panel swing gate that’s as stunning as it is secure.
What Materials Work Best
Here’s what we trust and install:
- Cedar: Natural oils protect it from rot and insects. Bonus: it smells amazing.
- Redwood: Rich color, durable grain, and a high-end look.
- Composite Boards: No warping. No repainting. All style, zero stress.
- Aluminum Slats: Minimalist. Rust-resistant. The perfect partner for powder-coated perfection.
Incorporating Horizontal Gates Into Your Home’s Look
We don’t believe in fences that just sit there. Your gate should do something for your home.
Make an Entrance
Your front gate sets the tone. Match the slat stain to your front door or trim. Add lighting to spotlight your design.
Disguise the Utility
Want to hide an AC unit or garbage bin area? A small horizontal gate does the job—and looks sharp doing it.
Backyard Privacy, Front Yard Appeal
In the backyard, go taller for more privacy. In the front, a low horizontal fence adds edge without hiding your home.
