Hollywood has been filled with a lot of inspiration over the years, including the unique architecture and designs used in homes. If you're looking to install a driveway gate on your home, not only will you have enhanced security, but you will have a chance to showcase a unique style and design.

Take some inspiration directly from Hollywood with a collection of gate designs used in movies and in real life. You do not need exact duplicates, but you can find a lot of options to help make your driveway gate vision become a reality.

Michael Jordan's 23 Gate

One of the greatest basketball players of all-time and star of the film Space Jam, Michael Jordan has spent his millions on luxury, including an impressive driveway gate with his number 23 proudly displayed on the outside. The iron fence design allows you to display your own numbers or text on a driveway gate.

You could choose to have your favorite number welded on the gate, or use the number design for more practical reasons. For example, you could display your house number on the gate for easy identification. You could use letters, like your initials or the initial of your family name.

A gate design can be elevated with the use of numbers and letters and will really help the gate stand out once installed on the end of your driveway. At night, small solar lights may shine on the gate design and help illuminate the numbers or text you display.

Jurassic Park Gate

In the 1993 film Jurassic Park, one of the iconic shots features the huge gates opening up to let the vehicles inside the park. You can create a similar feeling with solid wooden driveway gates. The solid wood design creates a similar look and offers extra security and privacy. The solid design helps keep wild creatures off your property.

Choose a green color finish to match the gate design. Choose a dual-gate design to match the movie's design. The gate will open from the center and swing out both ways.

Once installed, you can surround the gate with planters and large shrubs to give the natural feel that the movie's gate created. Also, consider the use of solar lights on the side posts of the gate to replicate the flames used in the movie. Depending on the height allowed on your driveway, you may or may not be able to add an arch over the top of the gate.

If you do add the arch, then you can add a custom sign to the driveway entrance that has a similar look and style to Jurassic Park. For example, you could do a play on words and showcase a sign that says Jurassic Parking or Jurassic Lot. If you do not add the arch, then the text could be added directly to the wooden gates.

Paramount Pictures Gate

One of the oldest studios in Hollywood is Paramount Pictures. For years, the Paramount Pictures arched gateway has provided an entrance for production crews, celebrities, and tourists to check out the massive studio. The gates attached to those archways are an iconic part of the film studio's visuals and you can recreate the design for your driveway gate.

The iron gates feature unique circular patterns throughout the whole design. When you order a custom driveway gate, you can use pictures of the Paramount gates to showcase the design you seek. The swirls are patterned in a specific way to form a symmetrical look when the gate is shut. Ornamental iron offers durable material with many design options.

The outer edges of the gate include a thicker iron for more security and durability. Connect a motorized gate opener to the gate to easily gain access as you exit or enter the driveway area.
