Wooden garden gates provide privacy and protection, keeping precious cargo in and unwanted visitors out.
Depending on the architectural style of your fence and facade, you may want a picket gate, a lattice gate, a slat gate, or a gate with custom features (such as a peephole placed at your dog’s eye level).
Based in Sebastapol, California Prowell Woodworks offers a variety of high-quality, attractive wooden garden gates made to order within a range of specifications.
