Is your garden gate looking a little tired? Have you been meaning to refurbish it, but you don’t know where to start? Here at Ironmongery Experts, we’ve put together this list of ideas to help you revamp your garden gate.
Give it a fresh coat of paint
Nothing revives an old gate like a fresh coat of paint. Whether you stick to the same colour, or spruce things up with a completely new hue, it never fails to impress.
Replace the ironmongery
To give your gate a simple, but effective edge, why not change up the ironmongery? Cheap door hinges will quickly rust, causing discolouration, so make sure you know what you’re buying. Stainless steel is the best for preventing rust, as it has a high percentage of chromium, which protects the surface of the metal. Our most popular gate hinges are our stainless steel tee hinges, zinc plated tee hinges and marine-grade stainless steel hook and band hinges.
Why not fulfil your cottage core fantasy with a ring gate latch like this Shakespear Ring Latch or Black Ornamental Ring Gate Latch. Here at Ironmongery Experts, we also supply a variety of other ironmongery that’s perfect for your garden gate, such as gate door bolts, gate latches and much more. Browse our exterior hardware range to view our full selection of outdoor ironmongery available.
Decorate it
Take your gate that step further by decorating it with some grapevine climbers or ivy. If you want a bolder look, you can add a violet clematis vine flower arch above the gate, which will be sure to impress any visitors.
Think about your security
A gate’s purpose is to protect your garden and everything beautiful that’s growing in it, so make sure that it’s practical, as well as aesthetically pleasing. Make sure you invest in a good quality door lock, like one from our Sold Secure hardware range.
