Why do people have garden gates?
I'm not talking about big locked ones, just the silly 3 foot high ones that anyone can open. They clearly don't stop burglars as you just hop over it or open it.

It discourages dog owners from letting their pets in for toileting purposes. I've never seen anyone do that. Although I do see them allowing their dog to **** on the (outside) of someone's fence or hedge. I always tell them they're disgusting. People seem to think that dog **** is ok, and only **** is dirty. When I ask them if they would mind if I ****ed in their garden, they often get very angry. It can discourage vehicle doing a 3 point turn from using your front garden driveway as extra road space. If the road was a decent width, that wouldn't be needed either. And if the road is narrow and I can't do a 3 point turn on it, and there's a gate in the way, I'd nudge it. |

In most US states a fence or other barrier is required around pools. There are plenty of rules about fence height, latch height, gates must open out and be self latching. If you have a compliant fence and a kid still gets in, you have a pretty safe position if they try to sue you. |

Why do people have garden gates?
Actually I'd like to make all people have fences and gates. Down my street
so many people have made their front gardens into car parks that trying to do as i used to just a few short years ago, shoreline a fence line to get to the post box or the shops is now an obstacle course of wide open spaces, cars that overhang the premises and stupidly placed wheelie bins. Its like a nightmare for the blind. Now if the front was the only place to put a car, I'd say fine, just put a little raised strip along the boundary, but no, all the houses in my street have gardens and roads at the rear, most of the gardens being over 100 ft long. Plenty of room for a car or two. Its laziness. I call it the Thunderbirds solution. I'd imagine if they could just step into an alcove and slide down into the driving seat than that would be what they would install. Bah Humbug.
