california modern or bungalow gate
Craftsman and California modern with Bower vine

beach cottage gate
This casual unpainted teak gate is fun and funky. It suits the tiny friendly clapboard cottage

brick posts for gate
The curved brick walk way add charm to this entry. There is no gate but a wooden triangle will hold the wisteria when it droops purple cascades of flowers next spring.

boho funky trellis and chain link gate

Even the most casual of gates can be charming. This is an old style chain link fence with a trellis holding stephanotis - the white flowers are intoxicating. They grow very slowly and only in part shade. This vine may be more than ten years old.
white picket fence gate
Picket fence gate- this is also pvc ( not my material of choice but popular because they advertise in California the advantage of never having to paint or worry about termites. The plastic does age, oxidize and get chalky looking in our moist weather of Orange County Coastal California



pretty wooden gate
Wooden craftsman somewhat Oriental feeling without any vines.
