Gates are where a cheap fence fails first. They carry weight on one post, get used every day, and on acreage they have to clear a tractor or trailer.
What we build
- Walk gates in wood, vinyl or metal, with self-closing hardware where needed.
- Double drive gates for side yards, boats, trailers and pool construction access.
- Steel-frame wood gates that stay square instead of sagging.
- Sliding and swing driveway gates in metal or wood.
- Automatic gate openers, with power and controls planned in.
- Entry gates and columns for acreage drives.

Questions we hear
How wide should a drive gate be?
Measure the widest thing that needs to pass, then add room to turn in. We will check the swing and the slope on site.
Can you automate an existing gate?
Sometimes. It depends on the gate's weight, frame and posts. We look at it during the estimate.
