"Myself and 2 neighbors all wanted fences installed.  We obtained quotes from five fencing companies and asked all of them to provide pricing for each home as well as a discounted price if they were awarded all three jobs as the same time.  We were impressed with the quality of the fencing and gate hardware Metro offered and they provided a very competitive pricing for all three jobs.  The installation crew arrived and completed fencing for all three houses in one day.  There had been a change in the gate hardware that Metro uses between the time of the first presentation and when the installation was completed but Metro made this right.  I would recommend Metro Fence - excellent quality at good pricing and timely installation

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

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 sliding gate mechanisms, which can go out from frequent use.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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 home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

The cost to install a gate varies widely, with a typical range between $1,500 and $7,000. The average cost is around $3,500. However, the final price can be as low as $200 for a simple gate or as high as $12,000 for a large, automated security gate.

Key factors that determine the installation cost include:

  • Gate Material: This is a primary cost factor. Chain-link and vinyl are the most affordable, while wood and PVC are mid-range options. Wrought iron, aluminum, and other metals are the most expensive materials.

  • Automation: Automated gates are significantly more expensive than manual ones because they require motors, sensors, controls, and electrical installation.

  • Size and Type: The dimensions and style of the gate (e.g., swinging vs. sliding) will impact the price.

  • Security Level: Gates with advanced security features will increase the overall cost.

Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.
