How do you stop a gate from slamming in the wind?

• <div><p>Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-automatic-gate-opener-installation.htm">automatic gate openers</a>. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.</p></div>

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>

How much does a Trex gate cost?

• <div><p>A Trex gate costs <b>$750 </b>plus another <b>$200</b> for the hardware pack necessary for installation. By contrast, Trex fencing ranges in price from <b>$22 to $38 per linear foot,</b> so you may pay a lot or a little depending on just how much space you need to enclose in your yard. </p></div>
