Composite Side Gate | Side Gates | CSG18

Description

This composite side gate design brings together a traditional wrought-iron style upper frame with a modern, low-maintenance composite panel base. The render shows a single-leaf gate with vertical metal bars topped in spear finials, decorative twisted basket scrollwork, and a solid woodgrain composite infill across the lower half, giving a balance of classic railing style and practical privacy screening.

Composite Side Gate Design Details

The design of this composite side gate splits the leaf into two distinct sections for a layered visual effect. The upper two-thirds are formed from evenly spaced vertical steel bars finished in a dark anthracite/black coating, each capped with a pointed spear finial along the top rail. A second, smaller row of finials marks the transition point where the metal railings meet the composite panel below.

Decorative Ironwork

Three ornamental twisted basket scroll motifs are set into the mid-section of the vertical bars, spaced evenly across the width of the gate for a symmetrical, wrought-iron inspired look. The top corners of the frame curl outward into scrolled finials, echoing traditional estate gate styling.

Composite Base Panel

The lower section of this composite side gate is fully infilled with vertical composite boards shown in a grey-brown woodgrain finish, running the full width of the leaf. This solid base blocks ground-level sightlines while the open railings above allow light and visibility through the top of the gate.

Why Choose This Composite Side Gate
