Advantages of Double Gate Aluminum Fences Explained

What Use Cases Are There For a Double Gate Fence?

From a strictly practical sense, double-gate fences are most commonly used when you need a wider entrance to your yard. This is most common in driveways, where a single-gate would need to be very big, or where an automatic, mechanized gate may be used, but the standard option for a driveway is the double gate. It is easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to secure.

Likewise, if you live in an area where you are using large equipment, such as riding lawnmowers or small tractors, you may want a double gate to be used as a backyard gate, a gate that can connect your fenced-in yard to a larger portion of your property. Double gate fences offer wide openings while maintaining the security of a standard fence, and can give you peace of mind when you have a large double-gated backyard entrance to your property.

Double gated fences are also very secure, as they&#;re made from the same strong, resilient aluminum that makes up the rest of the fence surrounding your yard. Depending on the fence you choose, the top of the gate may be peaked with finials which will deter trespassers from attempting to cross the gate and enter the property, and the sturdy construction prevents vandals from pushing their way through a properly-locked with a sealed double gated fence.

From a welcoming standpoint, a double gated fence is a fine way to open your yard to welcome neighbors and friends. Opening a gate wide and allowing party guests and family to come and go is more inviting than a simple single gate, which is narrower and will usually come with an automatic spring loaded hinges. Not needing to prop your fence open, but simply allowing it as a passage into the block party barbeque is a great way to tell people that you&#;re friendly and that you welcome visitors to your home.

How Can a Double Gate Fence Add Value to My Property?

The best way to add value to your property, if we&#;re speaking purely on Return on Investment, is to invest in your yard. Curb appeal is everything when evaluating a home, and especially selling it. Having a beautiful aluminum fence surrounding your yard&#;and then having a wide-open grand double gated entrance, whether it be at your driveway or your front walk, is a stunning way to showcase your home&#;it is your castle, after all.

A properly fenced yard, done in classy aluminum fencing in any style&#;Floridian, Sierra, Outback, Carolina, Appalachian, Manhattan, Puppy, XP, Castle, Elegant Arch, or Cathedral&#;makes a dignified statement about your home. It is not cheap chain-link, maintenance-heavy wood, or vinyl: it&#;s aluminum and ornate, and it exudes charm and an architectural detail that catches the eye of passersby and encourages them to get a closer look and admire your entire estate. Whether you&#;re encompassing the front yard of a condo, the perimeter of a suburban home, or the full extent of an expensive estate, an aluminum fence gives off a look of confidence, charm, and security that other fences lack.

There is something regal that comes from a double gate driveway that you don&#;t get from a single-gate. The double gates have an arched architectural flair that transforms a standard driveway into a sophisticated and enchanting entrance. It sets your home apart from the other houses on the street. These fences arch up and above the surrounding fence, giving a regal feel to an otherwise plain road. It truly feels like an entrance out of a movie.

And when it comes to security, there&#;s nothing that can beat an aluminum double gate. They are strong and sturdy, topped with finials that will deter even the most determined trespasser, and they protect your home from intruders, both human and animal. There&#;s no putting a price on the security you feel knowing that you have an extra added protection surrounding your house and keeping the unwanted away from you and your family. Even if it didn&#;t raise your property value, even if it didn&#;t increase curb appeal, even if it didn&#;t make a statement about who you are, it gives you piece of mind that you&#;re safe&#;and there&#;s nothing better than that.

Why Choose Aluminum Fencing Over Vinyl Fencing?

Aluminum fencing looks better than vinyl, plain and simple. Oh sure, there are vinyl fences that fit in with a certain style of house, and they&#;re not an ugly fence, but an aluminum fence just looks more secure, more stately, more expensive (though the prices are truly comparable).

Aluminum fencing is also more resilient than vinyl. A strong windstorm can damage a vinyl fence, tearing it down or punching holes in it. A rambunctious teen can try climbing over a vinyl fence only to find it crumple down around him&#;when he wouldn&#;t even try to climb an aluminum (and if he did, he&#;d meet the pointy end of a finial, and not be able to damage the strong aluminum).

Vinyl also discolors in the sun and heat, and can gather hard water stains from repeated hits from sprinklers, but aluminum fences are maintenance free. The powder coating is tough and resilient and doesn&#;t take damage from weather&#;no rust, wind damage, sun damage, or staining. Vinyl can&#;t say that. Even a new vinyl fence will need washing after a storm that kicks up mud in the flower beds, and you have to go spray it down with a hose, but you&#;ll never find those kinds of problems with an aluminum fence. It looks clean from day one and stays clean throughout its life.

And that&#;s why we give a lifetime warranty to our aluminum fences. We are confident in the strength, resilience, and long-term survival of our product and we&#;re willing to back it up with the promise of our good name. They will be free from defects in workmanship and the coating will not crack, chip or peel for as long as you own the home.

double fence for deer #


My property is the remnant of an old homestead on the edge of Cottage Grove, about 1 acre, with the back portion used for orchard and vegetables, and the remainder a mix of vintage ornamentals and native plants (oak forest) that I have been trying to revive. The Coast Fork of the Willamette is across the road. For years, deer would pass through and only bother my veggie patch and roses, but the drought seems to have driven them to extremes. They eat absolutely everything except things like ivy and holly, and have created permanent beds in the orchard. I think our succulent suburbs have created a domesticated white-tailed deer, much like dogs evolving from wolves! No usual deterrents bother them, and even "deer proof" plants were wiped out. I knew I had to take action when I watched them nibbling the zinnias and coreopsis and barely flinching when I tried to chase them away. 

Overall, I am trying to discourage a herd of about six deer and their fawns that have become too tame.

My solutions so far, using materials on hand or cheap to purchase and install:


1. The back of the lot had a 4-foot wire stock fence on the outer boundaries. When I cobbled together an extension topped with wire, they crashed through it if there was room for a running start. That is when I set up the double fence, adding a simple interior row of 4-foot step-in posts with salvaged plastic safety fencing. Even the randy bucks stop, unwilling to jump into the 5-foot space between fences.


2. Between the orchard and the yard, I built another lightweight double fence. This time, the outer one was the same 4-foot step in-posts with two rows of dollar store clothes lines. The second used 5-foot t posts extended with bamboo,  with 4- foot green plastic landscape fencing on the bottom and topped with 3 rows of clothes line spaced about a foot apart. Deer may nose under the shorter barricade, but search in vain for a way to get past the second one in spite of its flimsiness.


3. Switching to new materials, I installed 7-foot Tenax deer fencing on Tenax's extendable 8-foot steel  poles to block the routes and beds they favor on the side of the house. It is practically invisible from the house or street, but the deer do not challenge it. (I have it flagged with white tape until the rutting season is over.)


4. The front yard is still open. Working around river rock results in posts staggering hither and yon unless you hire a pro with heavy equipment: That's ok in the orchard, but not by the street. T

all, stout fencing wouldn't be appropriate for my historic house, either. 

Also, I don't want to deal with a gate across the driveway. My only concern with the front yard is an expanse of camas and other tender natives that got eaten the last two years, so I will just lay bird mesh over sensitive areas in the spring. 


I hope that redirecting their established paths, protecting the majority of their food, and restricting their lounging to spaces near the busy street will discourage this urban herd.  As an OSU alum (chemistry, ), I'm thinking this would be a dandy research project for a grad student.
