Description

This vertical slat driveway gate is a double-leaf design finished in a deep matte black, framed by a robust perimeter bar and filled with dozens of tightly spaced vertical slats. Set against a matching full-height pillar with a built-in post box, it creates a striking, uniform entrance that combines privacy screening with a clean, contemporary look for a brick-fronted property.

The standout feature of this vertical slat driveway gate is the sheer density of its bars, which run edge to edge across both leaves for a near-solid appearance from an angle while still allowing glimpses through when viewed head-on.
