5 Reasons Every Pet Owner Needs a Custom Patio Gate

If you’ve ever tried to enjoy your patio with your dog or toddler running around, you already know how stressful it can be. Cheap baby gates or metal fences from big box stores just don’t fit right — and they ruin the look of your outdoor space.

Here’s why so many homeowners are switching to custom wooden patio gates from Oak Street Gates:

1. Perfect Fit for Any Space
   Every patio, deck, or porch opening is different. Store-bought gates come in fixed sizes, which means they rarely fit without gaps. Our gates are handmade to your exact measurements so you get a clean, safe, professional look every time.
2. Protects Pets and Kids
   Whether it’s a curious puppy or a crawling toddler, a secure patio gate gives you peace of mind. Our gates are designed strong enough to handle large dogs while keeping small children safe near stairs or drop-offs.
3. Looks Like Real Furniture, Not a Fence
   We use appearance-grade, pressure-treated lumber that actually enhances your home. You can stain it, paint it, or leave it natural for a rustic look that blends right in with your deck railing or trim.
4. Built to Last Outdoors
   Unlike flimsy indoor gates or cheap plastic models, our wood is weather-resistant and fastened with corrosion-proof screws. These gates can handle every season — rain, sun, and snow.
5. Easy DIY Installation
   Every gate ships with hardware and simple step-by-step instructions. You don’t need to be a carpenter — most customers install theirs in under an hour.
