Small Garden Gates

Small garden gates mark an entrance without closing off the view. At 60cm to 90cm high, these low wooden gates suit front gardens, path openings and picket fence lines where you want a defined boundary rather than a solid barrier.

They're a favourite for cottage-style front gardens, and just as handy within a larger plot for keeping small dogs away from flower beds, vegetable patches or a children's play area, all while keeping the garden feeling open.

This collection includes a variety of low gate styles and widths in timber that can be painted or stained to complement your planting and fencing. Measure your opening before choosing, as widths vary between designs.

Choosing the right garden storage for your space

Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.

Use the filters to narrow by capacity, material, and feature. If you're not sure where to start, our 60-second storage finder will shortlist three options for your garden.

Common questions

Before you buy Small Garden Gates.

How high are your small garden gates?

These low wooden gates stand between 60cm and 90cm high. At that height they mark an entrance without closing off the view, defining a boundary rather than forming a solid barrier. That makes them ideal where you want to signal a threshold, such as a front path, while keeping the garden feeling open and welcoming.

Will a small garden gate keep dogs out of the flower beds?

A low gate is handy within a larger plot for keeping small dogs away from flower beds, vegetable patches or a children's play area. It defines the space without blocking sightlines, so you can still see across the garden. For larger or determined dogs, a taller gate or fence would give more reliable containment.

What openings suit a small garden gate?

Small garden gates suit front gardens, path openings and picket fence lines where a defined boundary matters more than a solid screen. They are a favourite for cottage-style front gardens, marking the entrance from the pavement while keeping the plot open to view. They work equally well as an internal divider between areas of a larger garden.

Can I paint small garden gates to match my planting?

Yes. The collection includes low gate styles in timber that can be painted or stained to complement your planting and fencing. A soft colour can tie the gate into a cottage border, while a natural stain lets it sit quietly against a picket fence. A protective finish also helps the timber cope with the weather.

Do widths vary between small gate designs?

They do, so measure your opening before choosing, as widths vary between designs in this collection. Take the clear width between your posts or fence, and allow room for the hinges and latch. Because these gates are low, matching the width to your gap is the main sizing decision to get right for a neat fit.
