ServicesGate Installation

You use the gate more than any other part of the fence. It has to swing freely, latch every time and stay square for years.

Gates We Install

We build and install gates for homes in St. Clair Shores, Harper Woods, Macomb County and Detroit, on new fences and existing ones.

  • Walk gates for side yards and garden access, in wood, vinyl or aluminum to match the fence.
  • Double drive gates wide enough for a mower, trailer or car.
  • Driveway gates on split rail and other open fences.

One customer had us put a gate across the driveway and another on the lawn as part of a full-yard shadow box fence. Read the review.

Why Gates Sag and How We Prevent It

A gate sags when its hinge post moves or the frame racks. We set gate posts solidly, brace wood gates diagonally against the direction they want to drop and use heavy strap hinges sized to the gate. On wide openings, a double gate splits the weight between two posts. See our guide to choosing a fence gate.

Repairing an Existing Gate

A dragging or unlatching gate can often be fixed without replacing the fence. We can rehang it, add bracing, replace the hardware or reset the post. See fence repair.

FAQ

Gates: Common Questions

How Wide Should a Gate Be?

Wide enough for the widest thing you’ll move through it. Measure your mower, wheelbarrow or trailer. For anything wider than a single gate handles well, a double gate is the better build.

Can You Add a Gate to My Existing Fence?

Usually, yes. Tell us the fence material and where you want the opening.
