Alternatives to Metal Spanish-Style Front Gates
I am replacing the front fence, sliding gate, and pedestrian gate on a Spanish Modern rental in Los Feliz. My initial thought (because I have a metal guy) was to just do black metal modern slates (see photos of the metal fence / gate style that I was thinking of below).
Have recently thought that a wood-look may be more warm, natural, and inviting (and match the natural terracotta tile roof).
Does anyone have any recommendations for fence materials that mimic wood that are (1) durable and (2) cost effective for a rental property? Should I just stick with metal? If so, why?
Thanks!
