*Learn about different gate options in our guide: Gate Types and Materials: Choosing the Right Gate for Your Property.
Adding a backyard gate door or upgrading your outdoor gates and doors is a small change that can make a big impact on your home’s security, privacy, and curb appeal. Whether you’re enclosing a side yard, accessing a back garden, or simply dividing your outdoor spaces, it pays to invest in a gate that’s as stylish as it is secure.
At DNA Gates and Fences, we help homeowners across Los Angeles choose side gates for homes that are tailored to both aesthetics and lifestyle needs.
Why Side Gates Matter More Than You Think
A well-placed side gate provides:
Easy access between front and back yards
A secure boundary for pets and children
Added privacy from neighbouring properties
An architectural feature that ties your fencing and home design together
Many homeowners overlook the importance of the side gate, but it’s often the most-used exterior gate on the property. That’s why choosing the right design and material is essential.
Whether you’re securing a side yard, service path, or garden entrance, we can custom-build a gate that enhances your property and keeps it secure.
Beyond Wood: Better Materials for Outdoor Gates

While wood was once the go-to for backyard gates, our experience tells a different story. In LA’s hot, dry climate, wood can warp, fade, or rot—especially if it’s not maintained properly.
That’s why DNA Gates and Fences offers vinyl gates, Aluminum gates and Iron gates that deliver durability, privacy, and a modern design. Our vinyl gates come in wood-look finishes, providing the warmth of timber without the upkeep. Aluminum gates are perfect for those who want strength with a clean, sleek look.
