A double-leaf ranch gate in flat black: a plain rail-and-brace frame with a full X across each leaf, and cut-plate scrolls flaring at the outer top corners. Open by design — it marks the entrance without hiding the property.
The Farmhouse Gate is the plainest design in the register and the least expensive to build, because there is nothing on it that isn’t structural. The X in each leaf is the brace that stops a wide gate sagging on its hinges; the scrolled flare at the outer corners is the only piece of the gate that is purely there to be looked at. The second build shown here leaves the X out and runs a stack of horizontal rails straight across instead, with the same swept corners above them.
It suits an open property where the view through the gate is worth keeping. Anyone who wants this silhouette with more screening should look at The Stable Gate, which trades the scrolled corners for an arch and puts pickets above a boarded panel.
