Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have a gate installed?

• <div><p>The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-security-gate.htm#">cost to install a gate</a> is around <b>$2,300</b>, but you could pay between <b>$200</b> and <b>$7,000</b>, depending on a few factors. The most significant cost factors to consider are the gate type of gate you want installed and the gate material. Automatic gates leading to your driveway will usually be the most expensive options, given the size and weight of the gate, as well as the added cost of the electronics for control. Chain-link and vinyl gates will usually be the most affordable, while aluminum and metal gates fetch the highest prices.</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: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</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>

"It went great as usual. The masonary/stucco wall looks like it was built with the house 25 years ago. Perfect style, texture and color match. Ordonez Construction has done several other projects at my home including a bridge over my arroyo, a Pergola for garden beds, a chicken coop, beautiful sandstone stairs leading to my arroyo and a glass greenhouse. I would use Carlos/Ordonez construction for any projects I may have in the future. The prices are very fair and the work is top notch. Courtney Conte, Placitas, NM."
