Privacy Gate design
Modern Slat Privacy Gates
Wide vertical slats with gaps between them. A middle ground: real visual separation without closing the entry off completely.
Privacy level: Semi-private
The look
What it looks like
Flat vertical slats, wider than bars, set with even gaps. Bolder than an open bar gate, lighter than solid coverage.
How private it is
Semi-private. Straight on you can see through the gaps; from an angle the slats close up and block more of the view.
Often suits
- Desert contemporary and transitional homes
- Fronts that want a modern look without a solid wall
- Homes with vertical siding or garage door details
Works on
- Recessed front entry
- Covered porch
- Straight rectangular opening
- Double-width opening
Design choices
What you'll decide
Slat width and gap
The ratio of slat to gap sets the privacy. Wider slats and smaller gaps feel more private.
Color
Choose a color that works with your trim, fixtures and garage door.
Single or double gate
Wider openings can use a double gate. Tell us the approximate width.
Lock and hardware
Locking hardware is part of the design. Mark keypad, smart lock or self-closing interest in the quote request and we'll confirm what works for your gate with your quote.
Good to know
- How private it feels depends on where people stand. Passersby at an angle see less than someone straight in front.
- Tell us about small pets so gap size can account for them.

FAQ
Modern Slat questions
How private is a slat gate compared with bars?
More private than open bars and less than tight horizontal slats. The slat-to-gap ratio is chosen for your gate.
Can a slat gate work on a wide opening?
Wider openings can use a double gate. Send photos and the approximate width and we'll recommend what fits.
How much does a front entry gate cost?
Every entry is different. Price depends on the opening size, design, materials, privacy level, hardware and installation. Send photos and we'll give you a photo-based estimate, then confirm the final price after measuring.
Do I need HOA approval?
It depends on your community. Many HOAs have rules about exterior changes, so check yours before installation. We can share the design details you'll need for an approval request.
Can I get an estimate from photos?
Yes. Photos let us review the entry and give a photo-based estimate. The final price is confirmed after measuring.
