There’s no denying the classic beauty of wooden entry gates. From decorative wood gates to elegant wooden driveway gate designs, wood has long been a favourite for its warm, natural appeal. But in a climate like Los Angeles, homeowners are starting to think twice.
Wood requires constant maintenance, is vulnerable to weather damage, and can fade, warp, or rot over time. That’s why many are turning to vinyl gates that mimic the look of wooden gates and fences for driveways, without the hassle.
