Q: Is a sliding gate more cost-effective compared to a swing gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should I get an electric gate?

• <div><p>For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don&rsquo;t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.</p></div>

Q: Which is better, a storm door or a security door?

• <div><p>Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.</p></div>

Q: How much smaller should a wooden gate be than the opening?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

I hired them upon seeing good reviews. The estimator arrived a little late but was very apologetic. It wasn't an inconvenience to me as I was working around the cabin all day anyway. Right from the start I liked the company. They said "We don't get paid until the customer is satisfied". She...
