"DJ and John did an excellent and thorough job installing a beautiful vinyl fence and gate around the perimeter of my backyard. Because it was a two day job they sectioned off a small area of the yard that allowed my 3 dogs access to a safe & secure fenced in area to relieve themselves. As a senior, recently recovering from major surgery, it would have been extremely difficult for me to walk 3 very energetic dogs for two days, so I can't express how grateful I am that they went to all that extra trouble to make sure my dogs were taken care of and my life was made so much easier in the process. Plus they didn't charge me any extra for that service! They both worked long past dark to make sure my fence was finished on time and cleaned up all the excess debris afterward. I truly believe that the Lord was watching out for me by leading me to hire this company to have my fence installed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to both friends and family. Thank you DJ and John, God bless you and your families!"

"Very pleased with all aspects from quote, installation and follow-up with H&Y Fence Co. Lee Ann, in the office, was very helpful in answering questions and scheduling the job. Hats off to Diego and Miguel for an excellent installation of the fence and gate. They arrived as scheduled, explained the process, installed the fence and gate without destroying the flower beds and cleaned the property thoroughly after the job was completed, and hauled away the old fence/gate.. I highly recommend H&Y fence company."

"Dennis was great! Same day that I requested a quote, he came out and provided the quote within an hour or two after leaving my house. Plus, we were able to get the fence and gate installed a few days later. Found out about Buckeye from our back neighbor who we went half on for their fence. And the quality is really nice. You definitely want to hire Buckeye Fencing."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Is your wrought iron gate really rusty or in need of major repair work? Replacing it with a gate with built-in privacy screening may be easier and, in some cases, more economical. Professional fence or gate repair costs average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

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.

Wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and steel are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.
