Essex Gate

The example shows an Essex Gate made of cedar with a concave picket topper.

“Concave” refers to the shape of the curve on top of the fence. If the the arc is higher in the center than at the posts it’s convex. If the arc is lower in the center than at the posts it’s concave.

Standard Wood Gates are priced at twice the price per foot of the matching fence style. For example, if a fence style is $20/ft a matching gate will start at $40/ft.
