SLAT INTO PLACE

The entrance to your garden can set the tone for what lies beyond, so a gate needs some consideration. If yours is in need of an update, the Garden Trellis Co has added three new Rhs-endorsed Prestige gates to its range, including this solid wooden design, from £381. Handmade in Essex, the gates can be painted in a choice of eight colours, and have a slanting top to aid rainwater run-off and help prolong their life.
