Fences And Gates Throughout Time

Fences and gates have a long and illustrious history in all our lives. Most of us know that they add security and value to properties and during these economic times that is important, but fences and gates have long had many other purposes, including:

-          Agricultural fences and gates used to keep livestock in and predators out

-          Privacy in areas where properties are smaller

-          Temporary divisions of areas

-          Decorative fences and gates for special occasions or added style to a property

-          Reinforcement of boundary lines around a piece of property

Fences and gates are not only for practical purposes, they have also made their way into popular culture. Rabbit Proof Fence (movie), Picket Fences (TV show), “Don't Fence me In” (song by Cole Porter) are all examples of how fences and gates influence our entertainment world, and let's not forget Bill Gates, one of the most famous gates in the world.

Other world famous fences and gates that have appeared throughout history include:

Jaffa Fences and Gates: these gates are the world famous stone gateways and fences that surround Jerusalem's Old City. Built in 1538 they are one of eight gateways in the area and were built for protection and separation purposes.

Gates of Cairo: the gates and fencing systems built in Cairo were used to protect both the inner and outer city. They were also used to differentiate between the social and economic classes.

Torii Gates: these types of Japanese gates are found throughout the country at the entryways of shrines and temples and signify the transition from the sacred (the shrine or temple) to the profane (the normal world).

Buckingham Palace Fences and Gates: there aren't many other fences and gates that are as famous as the gilded fences and gates that surround Buckingham Palace in London. These fences and gates are everything you expect of royalty and were built for protective purposes. Many tourists flock to this famous location for glimpses of the royal family and many photos have been taken of these famous fences and gates.
