Many times when the kids are out in the yard one will want to be on the swings in the back and one in the front with the garden.

A closed gate would make it near impossible for the child to leave the yard area. This is also true in relation to pets.
Security is one of the main reasons people begin to look into electronic gates. Think about all the random people who come up and knock on your door in a day. Wouldn’t it be nice to not have unwanted visitors? Also, a gate would eliminate the random people stopping just to check out your property. People exploring your property would be a thing of the past. It will also deter thieves as a gate and fence system provides quiet the obstacle in getting anything worth value out of the home undetected.
Gate and fence systems also keep unwanted animals out of the yard and pets inside. Deer and rabbits are big culprits in ruining the hard work and effort that goes into landscaping and gardens.

This is especially important in high traffic areas with a lot of noise pollution and in over populated subdivisions. If you live in a community with “community rules” you will want to check with the home owners association before purchasing and installing privacy fencing as some communities foster an open air feel.
