Common Situations Behind Gate Installation Services
Wood Walk Gates in Texas
Side-yard walk gates need a steel frame or diagonal brace and heavy-duty hinges to stay square.
Double Drive Gates for Trailers and RVs
Wide double gates need strong posts, a center drop rod and enough clearance for vehicles.
Ornamental Iron and Aluminum Gates
Iron and aluminum gates match ornamental fences and often hang from masonry columns.
Ranch and Acreage Entry Gates
Heavy pipe gates at ranch entrances need tall, well-set posts and enough width for trucks and equipment.
Pool Gates and Safety Hardware
Pool gates usually need to swing away from the pool and close and latch by themselves.
Gate Posts, Hinges and Sag Prevention
Most gate problems start with an undersized or shallow post; the right post and hinges prevent sag.

Gate Installation Services: Common Questions
How wide should a driveway gate be in Texas?
Measure your widest vehicle or trailer and add room to maneuver; drive gates are commonly 10 to 16 feet wide.
Why do wood gates sag?
The weight hangs off one side. A steel frame or diagonal brace and a properly set gate post prevent it.
Do pool gates have special rules?
Usually: they open outward, close on their own and latch automatically. Check your city's pool barrier rules.
Can a manual gate be automated later?
Often, if the posts, hinges and frame are strong enough. Planning for it at installation makes it easier.
