Pierce Fence Company has served the Delmarva Peninsula for more than 45 years. Mr. William E. Pierce was the first president of Pierce Fence. He retired after 28 years in the fencing business. Presently, it is owned and operated by William's son Bob Pierce Sr. and grandson Bob Pierce Jr. It has been a family owned and operated company since it was established in 1969. We are proud to say Pierce Fence has been in the same location on DuPont Hwy since the beginning. The small office we started with has now expanded to a shop to produce custom vinyl and full of hard to find chain link parts. We have a large display of samples on location as well. At Pierce Fence we understand the dedication and commitment it takes in the business.

"Amazing! Start to finish and everything in between. The grandfather, Bob, came to do the quote and the son, Blake as well as Donnie, installed. Ran into an issue with our sprinkler head in the way (our fault!) and we were able to fix it real quick before they started. They ask if we were happy with each step and the final outcome. 100% would recommend and have already given several people their number. Wonderful family business!"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

Your dog might be able to slip underneath chewable, flexible fabric gate covers. When you have a wayward woofer, using wooden panels that come within an inch or two of the ground is the most secure option. You may need a metal defense barrier dug into the soil to keep your dog from digging under your fence or gate.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

The average cost to install a gate is around $2,300, but you could pay between $200 and $7,000, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.
