The best material for driveway gates depends on your specific needs, including style preferences, climate, and maintenance considerations. Wrought iron is highly durable and offers a classic, elegant appearance. Aluminum is lightweight, rust-resistant, and requires minimal upkeep, making it ideal for coastal areas. Wood offers a natural look that can be customized with various stains and finishes but may require more maintenance to protect against weathering. Steel is extremely strong and secure, making it suitable for high-security needs. At SF Bay Automatic Gates, we work with you to choose the material that best fits your aesthetic desires and functional requirements.
