Garden gate or lych gate?
Published
A garden gate closes a gap in a fence or wall. A lych gate adds a roof over the entrance, so it needs room for the gateway and its supports as well as the gate itself.
For a garden gate, measure the clear opening and note which side you want the hinges on. Check where the gate will swing and whether the path rises behind it.
For a lych gate, take a wider photo that shows the approach and the fence on either side. It helps to see how the roof and posts will sit in the entrance.
