Gates take the most wear of any part of a fence. Width, material, and whether it needs to self-close (for pools) or open automatically change the quote.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • Will the posts handle the gate's weight?
  • Is anti-sag hardware included?
  • Is the latch pool-compliant if needed?
  • Can you add a gate to my existing fence?

Frequently asked questions

Why does my gate sag?

Usually a post that's leaning or too light for the gate, loose hinges, or a frame that's racked. Fixing the post is often the real repair.

Can you install a gate opener?

Some fence companies do; others work with an electrician or gate specialist. Mention it in your brief.
