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>

Q: What is the best place to put a gate?

• <div><p>This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose a driveway gate?

• <div><p>When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/automatic-front-gate-options.htm">automatic gate</a> or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home&rsquo;s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.</p></div>

Q: Can I attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate?

• <div><p>Whether you can attach a wood extension to a vinyl gate depends on the gate's construction. Some vinyl gates are sturdy enough to allow wood or vinyl boards to be attached. Many, however, have hollow frames that may not hold screws or heavy extensions securely. For these, consider alternative extension options such as a rubber flap or chicken wire.</p></div>

Q: What's the best under-gate dog barrier?

• <div><p>The best under-gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-fence-option-keep-your-dog-safe.htm">dog barrier</a> is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.</p></div>

Run! Do not do business with them! They will screw you over. They paved our driveway in Nov 2024 and up until March 2025, they still haven't come back to fix the major issue. To make a long story short, they paved OVER our water meter. It was a lot of headache and hassle trying to get them...
