Common Gate Installation Issues Solved
Do inadequate property lines or unwelcome guests make you feel exposed? Gates establish clear boundaries while preventing intrusions.
Other benefits include:
- Increased privacy, seclusion and sense of security
- Improved curb appeal for better resale value
- Customizable with intercom systems and smart technology
- Low maintenance of durable gate materials like welded steel
But DIY gate installation has pitfalls, from improper post hole depth to subpar materials that warp.
Choosing the Best Gate Design, Type & Material
Many options exist for customizing gate functionality, security level and style. We help select gates suiting your goals, traffic volume and architecture.
Entry Gate Types
- Swinging Gates are a classic pick offering visibility through bars. Dual gates provide wider access.
- Slide Gates utilize rollers and a track to recess open. Great for limited space.
- Automatic Gates use electric openers triggered remotely, via access code, intercom or sensors. Allows hands-free access.
- Pedestrian Gates offer entry beside vehicle gates for foot traffic. Some have built-in pet doors.
Gate Materials
- Steel: A strong, durable, low maintenance option. Can customize ornamental designs.
- Aluminum: Lightweight for easy operation yet robust. Resists corrosion.
- Iron: Wrought iron brings decorative, old world charm. Needs ongoing painting.
- Vinyl: Low cost, low maintenance, mimics wood. Won’t rot or rust.
- Composite: Blends durability, aesthetics and strength. Resists weather better than wood.
- Wood: Classic, natural beauty. Cedar and redwood have weather resistance.
We use only quality, long-lasting gate hardware approved for security and fire codes. You also get professional guidance on openers, video intercoms, security lighting and more for full perimeter protection.
