To date, gates made only of wood, are rare. The reason for this is the endless pursuit of security, which is safely provided with metal structures. If you make a simple gate completely wooden, the frame will eventually sag because the structure will be very heavy, cumbersome. In addition, under the influence of moisture, it will be subjected to deformation, and it can, as they say in the people, "story". In this case, the wooden gates for the house are made on a metal frame.
In addition, if you are a creative person and strive for unity with nature in all, you have the opportunity to preserve the use of natural elements around the perimeter of the facade of the house. Thus, it is possible to install a wooden gate not only for the house, but also for the garage .
