Hog Wire Gates for Driveways

A driveway gate is more than just a functional barrier — it’s a bold statement about your property. Hog wire gates excel in this role because of their:

• Strength: 6-gauge steel wire reinforced with a sturdy frame resists sagging and warping.
• Security: Provides a strong deterrent without completely closing off sightlines.
• Custom Sizing: Available in wide spans to fit both residential and commercial driveways.

Pairing hog wire with wood or metal frames allows you to create a rustic-modern look that complements any style of home — from suburban ranches to sleek modern builds.

Hog Wire Gates for Walkways

Walkway gates provide an inviting entrance while maintaining safety. Hog wire walkway gates are ideal for:

• Garden Entrances: Frame your landscaping with a gate that feels both open and secure.
• Side Yards: Create separation between front and backyard spaces without blocking airflow or light.
• Pet & Child Safety: Keep small ones safe while allowing visibility.

BarrierBoss panels bring a clean, durable design that stands up to daily use, rain, and sun exposure without sagging.

Design Options

One of the biggest perks of hog wire gates is flexibility in design. You can choose:

• Hybrid Frames: Combine steel wire with cedar or treated lumber for a warm yet modern feel.
• Full Metal Frames: Sleek and industrial, perfect for urban and commercial applications.
• Decorative Additions: Add lighting, address plates, or decorative planters for extra curb appeal.

Installation Tips

Installing hog wire gates doesn’t need to be complicated. Here are key tips:

• Ensure posts are deeply anchored in concrete to handle weight and movement.
• Use heavy-duty hinges rated for the size of your gate.
• Check for proper alignment so the gate swings smoothly and latches securely.
• Consider professional installation for wide-span driveway gates.
