When it comes to driveway gate material options, metal (including iron/wrought iron) is a favorite for its durability and wide range of design options. It’s not the preferred option for privacy – metal gates generally have an open design – but it’s a popular material to beautify a property’s entrance and enhance security for both residential and commercial applications.

As a follow up to our blog post featuring 6 Totally Unique Wooden Driveway Gates, we’ll take a look at a handful of eye-catching metal gate styles that are sure to attract the attention (and envy!) of your neighbors.

A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

This set of metal gates feature deer and buck head inserts. We custom made these gates for a rural property and the design is completely unique. Any type of animal can be crafted to reflect your style and interests.

A SWIRL OF LEAVES AND WORDS

There’s nothing basic about this gate. We forged each leaf and vine as well as the custom wording along the top of the gate, “A Stone’s Throw.” As a built-in bonus, this gate is pretty effective at preventing larger unwanted critters from passing through to the property.

LEAVES OF GRASS
