Gates and stiles in fences range from the level of just removing some rails or leaving a small crack to slip through, to elaborate arrangements that permit opening the gate from horseback or in a buggy and that have an automatic self-closing feature.

• 篱笆的门和门阶有许多种样式，有的仅仅是去掉几根栏杆，留出空档让人通过； 也有的精心设计、具有可在马背或马车上将其打开，随后还能自动关闭的功能。
