Pedestrian Gates: What Are Your Options?

In our guide, we look at some of the options available from First Fence.
What Are Pedestrian Gates?
Traditionally, pedestrian gates are 1.0m to 1.2m wide and are designed specifically for people to access areas without vehicles. If you have fencing already assembled, this could be as easy as choosing a matching gate. For properties with mostly brick exteriors or no fence, something unique can fit in nicely.
Some infills and styles are more suited to commercial or residential settings. Gates for homes
