Do gate hinges wear out?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Can I install my own driveway gate?

• <div><p>It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.</p></div>

Q: Can you convert manual gates to electric?

• <div><p>Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-sliding-gate.htm">sliding gate parts</a> before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.</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>

They arrived on time to cut down three large trees that were close to our house. Two hours later they were blowing off the driveway with everything finished and all cleaned up. Two years ago they took out 13 trees for us without any issues.
