"Job went perfect. I was approved for financing the day I called. When the contractor came out for the bid, he made a materials and labor suggestion based on our needs. The original estimate of 9k worth of unnecessary privacy fencing, that I could not afford, went down to 2.5k of sturdy chain link providing a safe play space for our rescue dog. The contractor said they are more interested in helping customers out than making large sales. The fence is very professional. It is even wired into the ground so our dog cannot dig under it. The city inspector said it was a "perfect" construction job. Finished in under 8 hours. Roughly 100 feet of chain link, posts, concrete, plus gate. High quality materials and the yard was spotless when the job was finished. Very trustworthy. I feel strongly that I got what I paid for. Peace of mind that my dog, a known short fence jumper, is safe as well as my yard and padlocked gate. The most important part, is that my dog LOVES the freedom of having a large yard to run freely in."

"Tim built us a gate with an electronic opener from scratch.  He built the frame, did the wiring, constructed the gate itself, and installed a keypad.  It's an impressive piece of work, this gate!  Two other companies bid the job, but one was ridiculously high and the other did not sound confident that they could pull it off successfully.  Tim built us an awesome gate to our specifications for a reasonable price.  We have had the gate for two years, and I wrote a review after he built it.  I am updating my review, however, to add that he maintains this gate like the Holy Grail!  There is so much pride in construction here- if something needs to be adjusted or repaired and I call or text, I swear Tim and his son appear magically and fix it right up.  I am so happy that we went with Penniston Fence for this job.  Tim is not one of those to do a disappearing act if there is a problem.  He has been very good to us and to our gate and I am very grateful!  We also recommended him to our neighbors across the street, and he built them a gorgeous cedar fence around their backyard that they love.  He does really great work.  You need to call him.  :)

"They were a second contractor we got pricing from and they proposed doing the job in a way that greatly reduced cost. They were prompt, professional, and picked up our toilet and sink from Lowes. They kept things clean during the work and it looked good when they finished."

"We needed a fence with gate taken down. Then we had him move the gate over to our side fence so we could pull into the backyard with our truck or to get lawnmower in and out. A few days later we were needed to have clothesline poles taken out and he came back and did that for us too. Very friendly and nice. Did a good job. ????"

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

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.

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

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

While many gate hinges are often made of extremely durable materials, such as galvanized steel, they can wear out after many years. How quickly they wear out also depends on how much use they’ve endured. It’s also possible for the hinge screws to fall out, which weakens the hinge. Once a hinge wears out, it’s time for a replacement so your gate doesn’t start sagging.
