When is replacing a wrought iron gate a better option than covering it for privacy purposes?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm">fence or gate repair costs</a> average $100 to $400, and you may be able to get a new gate for the same price.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include gates and access controls?

• <div><p>Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.</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: Can I install my own gates?

• <div><p>Installing your own gate is possible, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Gates can weigh hundreds of pounds in some cases, and even <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-gates.htm">types of gates</a> made from the lightest materials are heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver into place. Positioning your gate perfectly is also crucial to make sure it swings smoothly and either closes automatically or doesn&rsquo;t close without force, depending on your preferences. Mistakes made by DIYers can be quite costly, too, as the materials alone average around <b>$1,000</b>. As such, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional gate installer.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop my dog from going under my wrought iron gate?

• <div><p>Your dog might be able to slip underneath chewable, flexible fabric gate covers. When you have a wayward woofer, using wooden panels that come within an inch or two of the ground is the most secure option. You may need a metal defense barrier dug into the soil to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-dogs-from-digging-under-fence.htm">keep your dog from digging under your fence</a> or gate.</p></div>

Anthony's Asphalt had sealed our driveway for us two years earlier, but we were out of their normal service area and I wasn't sure if they would be willing to do it again without charging a substantial fee for the drive. I really wanted to use Anthony's since they were the only seal coaters near...
