These sleek, decorative inserts are showing up in thousands of outdoor transformations across Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, and backyard blogs—and for good reason.

🔍 What Are Fence & Gate Inserts?

Fence and gate inserts are decorative aluminum accents designed to bring style and functionality to your outdoor space. Each insert is made up of two interlocking aluminum pieces that come together to form a stylish, secure add-on.

Simply cut a hole in your wood, vinyl, or composite fence or gate, then fit the insert into place — one piece on either side — for a clean, professional look.

Pre-designed panels that add personality and visual interest
Easy two-piece assembly — no complex tools required
Adds airflow and visibility while maintaining security

From charming backyard gates to bold privacy fences, these inserts help turn everyday builds into standout features.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I install Nuvo Iron inserts without professional help?
A: Yes! They’re designed for easy installation using standard tools like a jigsaw and drill.

Q: What kind of fences work best with inserts?
A: Wood fences with solid panels—especially horizontal or vertical planks—are ideal for our inserts. For the best fit, make sure the fence boards are no thicker than 1.25″ (3.2 cm), as our inserts come with two bolt lengths to accommodate most standard board thicknesses. Thicker materials may not allow the insert to fasten securely.

Q: Are Nuvo Iron inserts pet-friendly?
A: Definitely. Many customers use them as “doggy windows” so pets can safely peek out.

Q: Do I need to paint or treat the inserts?
A: No. They’re made from durable, weather-resistant materials and ready for use out of the box.
