Almost everyone has a gate leading into their house or up the garden path. Traditionally these have consisted of simple wooden slats and metal posts, such as these from Portcullis Gates, but today we've selected our top 5 beautiful, artistic gates that really make the homes stand out from the rest. Whether you are looking for something delicate or something striking, we have covered them all!

This DIY approach to an artistic gate is created using an old bike. This is something the more creative people could try if they are in need of a gate and have a bike that's calling out to be reincarnated. It is also a very green way of creating a cool looking garden gate; recycling old products and using them to create something new.
Each of these artistically designed gates adds a unique sense of character to the gardens and homes they open on to. Setting the theme for what lies beyond. Hopefully they can provide inspiration for those of you looking for a less conventional style of gate.
