"10 stars, superior service. The quality of materials used was great, they started early and finished earlier than projected. After the job was under way I decided to go for the upgraded gate option at their suggestion and I am very happy that I did. I have recommended them to anyone who has seen or asked about my gate. The quality and appearance is great, He showed up when he said he would and was willing to do anything to make me happy."

"An important factor for me is to be able to call a contractor and the person responsible for planning and overseeing the job answers immediately or calls back promptly if with a client.  So the same day I get Patrick to come out and give me an estimate.  Everything went smoothly, it was only the light rain that caused some delays for certain parts of the job.  It's great having a remote controlled gate for my driveway and a manual gate for the auxiliary side.  The manual gate opens and closes with easy.  I like doing most things myself but with the crazy curves and slope of where these sliding gates where to be installed definitely required an expert who knows how to make custom gates.   "

"Moses and his team at MANDA Fences and Gates are awesome. We’ve needed to replace our two side walkway wrought iron gates and a side fence for a few years and have struggled to find a company that could design gates and fences that are beautiful, add value to our house and are top quality. A neighbor recently used MANDA so we got a referral from them and couldn’t be happier with the end product and the entire process. Moses was helpful, timely and efficient from the initial design proposal (and suggestions) through fabrication, installation and follow up. His installation crew was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, we would highly recommend MANDA and hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future!!"

"The Big Box stores could provide only the standard stockade or vinyl fencing and were not easy with whom to deal - they were also much more expensive and disdainful of a small jog (approx 65' with 2 gates). Hector a t Fence Pros was helpful and courteous and helped us decide on a unique and beautiful black bamboo and redwood fence. The result is a beautiful fence at a great price. One of the two gates does not fit as closely as it should and leaves a gap I didn't want, but we are so happy with the rest of the work that it seems a minor complaint."

"I had DNA Gates & Fences install a driveway fence, and I’m thrilled with it! They were quick to respond to my quote request and scheduled a consultation fast. The rep was knowledgeable, helping me choose a sleek metal fence that fits my home perfectly. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and finished in just a couple of days, leaving no mess behind. The fence is sturdy, looks great, and has already gotten neighbor compliments. I feel more secure now, too. Their attention to detail and customer service stood out—they ensured I was happy throughout and even followed up after. DNA Gates & Fences exceeded my expectations; I’d recommend them to anyone needing quality fencing!"

"I had a damaged gate. David had previously given me a lower bid than the contractor we hired, but the other contractor was referred to me by a close friend who is a contractor (so we went with him). Although that contractor was fine, he was impossible to reach and the job took a long time to finish as a result. So, when we had a problem with our other gate, I called David! He was amazing. He came out to fix the gate that day. He was on time, and communicated extremely well with us. He did nothing without prior approval and explained the pricing, depending on the problem. He could have easily sold us a new gate motor, but instead fixed it for $245, including TWO visits. This was a bargain for the amount of work that he did, including testing of the parts back at his shop."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

You can install a privacy cover on your wrought iron gate anytime. However, pick a dry day if you apply stain or paint to the paneling. If you’re hiring a local fencing contractor, they often offer better rates in their low season outside the busy spring and summer months.

Fence gates sag because they have no support on the latch side of the gate to help hold them aloft. A gate wheel fixes that problem by providing support for that latch side. Remember that the ground must be level in front of the gate so the wheel can roll freely when you open and close it. If the terrain is uneven or slopes, a gate wheel won’t work.
