What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.</p></div>

Q: How much should a wooden gate cost?

• <div><p>A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.</p><p>Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.</p></div>

Q: How long does a driveway gate last?

• <div><p>Driveway gates can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, depending on how well you maintain your gate, the material type, how frequently you use it, and whether you choose an automatic or manual gate. Automatic gates generally require more maintenance than manual gates due to their added <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate mechanisms</a>, which can go out from frequent use. </p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be forced open?

• <div><p>Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/home-security-tips.htm">home security tips</a> include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop rubbish from blowing under my gate?

• <div><p>To stop trash from blowing under your gate, you can install anti-litter netting. This solution prevents most large debris from being blown inside of a controlled area and is often used in construction sites. Many types of netting are not designed for permanent use, so you may need to search for a style that matches your gate color.</p></div>
